Trump’s New Border Czar Challenges Democratic Governors to Step Aside or Face Action
Clear Facts
- Thomas Homan has been appointed as the “border czar” by President-elect Donald Trump, tasked with overseeing border control and deportation operations.
- Homan has a strong message for Democratic governors opposing the deportation plan, urging them to step aside if they won’t cooperate.
- The focus of the deportation efforts will be on illegal immigrants with criminal convictions or charges, although all undocumented individuals are subject to enforcement.
Thomas Homan, recently appointed by President-elect Donald Trump as the “border czar,” has issued a stern warning to Democratic governors who are against the administration’s planned deportation operations.
“If they’re not willing to help, then get the hell out of the way because [Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)] is going to do their job,” Homan stated during an interview.
Trump’s announcement of Homan’s appointment signals a renewed focus on border security and deportation of illegal immigrants, a key aspect of his administration’s policy.
Democratic governors, such as Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey, have expressed their opposition to these plans. Healey emphasized the need to “protect our citizens, to protect our residents and protect our states,” and has made it clear that state police will not assist with deportations.
Despite the resistance, Homan is optimistic that some jurisdictions, even those considered “sanctuary” areas, may collaborate with the administration.
“They’re not going to say it, but with all the alien crime and the young women being sexually assaulted and murdered, some sheriffs have been coming forward and working with us behind the scenes,” he noted.
Homan stressed that the lack of cooperation from state and local governments would not deter the operations.
“If you don’t want to work with us, then get the hell out all the way, we’re going to do it,” he asserted, indicating that the administration is prepared to allocate more resources to ensure the job is done.
The primary target for deportation will be illegal immigrants with criminal records or charges, maintaining the focus from the first Trump administration.
“It’s not going to be a massive sweep of neighborhoods, it’s not going to be massive raids. It’s going to be a targeted enforcement operation,” Homan clarified, though he warned that all undocumented individuals could face consequences.
Homan argues that the surge of illegal immigration under the Biden administration necessitates a strong response.
“There will be a massive deportation operation because we had massive never seen before illegal immigration where 90% will be ordered removed. It’s common sense,” he explained.
He also believes that many illegal immigrants will choose to leave voluntarily once incentives to cross the border are removed. The scale of the operation will depend on available resources, but Homan assures that Trump is committed to enforcing the law.
“It depends on resources, depends on the money. But I guarantee you that President Trump means what he says and there will be a green light to enforce our laws and secure that border,” he stated.
Homan, with his extensive background in law enforcement and immigration, is poised to play a significant role in the upcoming administration’s efforts to address what he describes as the “biggest national security vulnerability” of his lifetime.
“The southern border is the biggest national security vulnerability I’ve seen in my lifetime. It should be a nonpartisan issue,” he emphasized, underscoring the urgency of the situation.

About time and of course Canada needs to boost security to cope with the ‘refugees’ trying to enter illegally. Canada under Trudeau will of course fail. I have no real problems with legal immigration but I have absolute problems with illegal.

Thoses governors just need to shut their mouths. Since truth be told. They are violation their oath of office when they sworn on the Bible to protect and defend our Constitution. If they forcefully try to stop it. They can be arrested because of their violation. They better go read the laws carefully.and quit being stupid. It’s against our current laws to enter our country in a none legal way. It’s not rocket science .

This will be a very positive, urgent action to a point a law enforcement official who will take action from this horrific invasion of illegal people who came to America, not for the American dream, but to harm, kill, take criminal actions against people and businesses. That is not the way immigration works. we all as Americans here working, driving, have laws regulations we have to follow. Becoming an American we have a system that is set up for Process. The decision from the previous presidential administration to open the border. Everywhere is an act of treason to the American people in the constitution of the United States. to set the people up for potentially being raped, murdered, victimized by crime and heinous acts should have the previous administration impeached. Never should this have been done! I fully support the new immigration officials when president elect Donald Trump begins this action to secure the United States of America! They all need to leave. And to think that our tax paying dollars when we are starving due to inflation can’t feed our children can afford gas shoes having to use glue to the soles of the shoes this administration and what they have done to the American people and our children and our grandchildren and the future of America. Go forward With Anna and action. God bless you. God bless the president of the United States and God bless Americans! Not illegal Americans God bless America and the Americans who deserve to be here. This is our country. No policy at all should be allowed.

We need to cleanse out the rest of the stinking Democrats so we can turn our country around and get back to normalcy.
