Tom Homan, the former director of ICE and soon-to-be Border Czar under President Trump, is gearing up for a showdown with Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, who seems to think he can shield illegal aliens from federal law enforcement with his grandiose proclamations. Pritzker boasted to the media about his commitment to “protect undocumented immigrants,” while also asserting his intention to flex his muscle against the federal government. It’s almost as if he believes that somehow he can rewrite immigration laws just because he sits in the governor’s mansion.
Homan wasted no time in responding. The newly appointed Border Czar made it clear that Pritzker’s threats to obstruct immigration enforcement will be met with determination. Homan’s response was straightforward: the feds are ready to roll up their sleeves and get to work, regardless of what sanctuary cities or overzealous governors like Pritzker might say. With thousands of dedicated ICE agents prepared to enforce the law, Homan let it be known that there will be no excuses, no apologies, and certainly no hesitation in handling those who break the law, regardless of their intentions.
The notion that illegal immigration could be seen as a victimless crime is one that Homan vehemently rejected. According to him—and plenty of informed Americans—illegal immigration isn’t just about people crossing borders; it’s a gateway to larger issues. The influx of illegal immigrants has been linked to increased crime rates, drug trafficking, and even terrorism. Homan pointedly noted that while some may be less dangerous than others, every single person who enters the U.S. illegally has committed a crime. It’s a headline that should send shivers down anyone’s spine, but Pritzker seems more concerned with optics than with facts.
Tom Homan Responds To Dem Governor's Threat To Defy Immigration Law: ‘GAME ON'https://t.co/OnnIA4SJ8f

Under Trump’s leadership, it’s not just the chatter that’s changing; the actual policies are set to shift sharply as well. Plans are in place to bring back effective measures like the Remain in Mexico policy, which asks asylum seekers to wait outside the U.S. while their claims are processed. Such a mixed policy approach contrasts sharply with the current administration’s leniency, which has led to a flood of illegal aliens being released into the interior of the country—an invitation that many find troubling.
As Homan prepares to take the reins, he has made it abundantly clear: those with deportation orders or criminal convictions will be the priority. It appears that the border control strategy is going back to basics – enforcing the law without the federal handcuffs placed there by the Biden administration. For Homan, it’s not just about policy; it’s about upholding the rule of law and ensuring that those who ignore it face consequences. For Pritzker and his sanctuary city escapades, it looks like the welcome mat for illegal aliens may soon be rolled up.
