EXCLUSIVE: Trump’s Border Czar Has Plan For ‘Super’ Sanctuary County Wanting To Shield Its Criminal Migrants From ICE

Tom Homan, the incoming border czar for the Trump administration, has a plan to deal with a major jurisdiction that recently doubled down on a statewide sanctuary law.

The Democrat-controlled San Diego County Board of Supervisors in December voted to expand a California sanctuary policy that already limited local law enforcement’s ability to cooperate with 🛂Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The county-wide ordinance further restricts law enforcement from notifying ICE agents about a foreign national in their custody, even if they have committed severe crimes such as rape, child abuse, burglary or gang violence.

Homan, who has been tasked with fulfilling President-elect Donald Trump’s promise of mass apprehensions and deportations of illegal migrants across the United States, blasted the lawmakers involved with the vote and said they can simply expect more ICE agents in their neighborhoods as a result.

“Rather than arresting an illegal alien criminal in the safety and security of a county jail where we know he doesn’t have weapons, they’re forcing ICE officers into the streets, into neighborhoods to find these people,” Homan said to the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation. “It’s ridiculous.”

“ make it more difficult, but it doesn’t mean we’re not going to do it,” Homan said. “It just means we’ll have more agents in San Diego because rather than one guy arresting a guy in a jail — we have to send a whole team to safely arrest a guy, so they can expect a lot more agents in that jurisdiction.”
