Tom Homan, the former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and current border czar under President Donald Trump, has stated that prosecution of sanctuary city and state officials for allegedly violating federal immigration laws is forthcoming, saying, "Absolutely. And hold tight on that one, because it's coming." Homan referenced 8 U.S. Code § 1324, which criminalizes the harboring or shielding of individuals who are in the country illegally. He indicated that the Department of Justice may pursue criminal charges, including potential prison time, against local and state leaders who implement sanctuary policies. No names of officials have been released. If the DOJ proceeds, it would mark the first time in modern history that local elected officials are prosecuted for implementing sanctuary policies. Homan cited a 95% drop in border crossings and focused particular attention on cities such as New York and San Diego, mentioning Mayor Eric Adams' recent reversal of a policy barring ICE from operating at Rikers Island.

Winters: Deportation numbers need to be a lot higher. Also need to see criminal prosecutions if not investigations into the elites who rolled out the red carpet for these ppl. You have to go after the NGOs, politicians, Democrat ops, and even the foreign money that let them in. https://t.co/5w6HA8ylrZ

Q: “There are laws on the books that make it a criminal offense to…harbor illegal immigrants like the sanctuary states' leaders have been doing. Do you think they should be prosecuted and possibly put in prison?” Homan: “Absolutely. And hold tight on that one because it's https://t.co/dc8oXOAAMa
