White House border czar Tom Homan says Minnesota leaders, specifically Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, should be thanking the Trump administration for reining in illegal immigrants in the blue state.

“What did the state of Minnesota bring? They’re a sanctuary state. Their county jails weren’t working with us across the state. So you know what? We fixed it,” Homan said on Fox & Friends Weekend. “They ought to be saying ‘thank you.’ The state’s safer because of that, and President Trump gets another win.”
