Trump’s Border Czar Plans Mass Deportations, Confronts Opposition From Sanctuary Cities

Tom Homan, tapped by President-elect Trump, signals aggressive immigration enforcement as Democratic leaders vow resistance.

Tom Homan, Trump's incoming 'border czar,' has outlined plans for mass deportations, prioritizing migrants with criminal records or final deportation orders.
Homan has threatened legal action, including potential arrests of local officials, against sanctuary cities and states that obstruct federal immigration enforcement.
Democratic leaders in cities like Denver, Los Angeles, and Boston have pledged to resist deportation efforts, citing moral and constitutional concerns.
The Trump administration is exploring withholding federal funding from non-compliant jurisdictions, a tactic that faced legal challenges during Trump's first term.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Homan are coordinating efforts to secure the border, with plans to expand state and federal cooperation under the new administration.
