Tom Homan warns sanctuary cities against sheltering illegal immigrants from ICE

Published February 2, 2025 5:02pm ET



Border czar Tom Homan warned sanctuary cities of bringing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement onto them by sheltering noncriminal illegal immigrants, some of whom he argued will still get arrested anyway. 

Homan touted how illegal border crossings have gone down by 93% since President Donald Trump returned to the White House, whom he called “the game changer” in securing the border and prioritizing national security. Homan assessed, however, that there is still more work to do amid deportations, in which just under 5,000 illegal immigrants were arrested in Trump’s first week in office, most of whom are criminals.
