Border czar Tom Homan fired back Thursday on Fox News at a Democratic Party mayor who said that thereās an alleged mischaracterization of immigrant communities.
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu said Thursday there has been a āmischaracterization of what immigrant communities representā and she hopes to visit Washington to āspeak the truth.ā During an appearance on āThe Ingraham Angle,ā Homan responded and outlined a different scenario as he pointed out what he said are risks that he believes current sanctuary city policies pose.
āSheās looking forward to coming to D.C. Iām looking forward to going to Boston, which is going to be real soon, because weāre going to go there. Weāre going to make that city much safer,ā Homan said. āWhen I was at the CPAC the other day, what I said was a fact. I stopped counting at nine, nine sexual predators, rapists, most of them children, that are walking the streets of Massachusetts because they donāt work with ICE, and they donāt honor detainers. Nine, and thatās just in recent history.ā
Homan criticized Wuās optimism about the impact of immigrant communities in her city, contrasting it with what he said are the harsh realities of crimes committed by undocumented immigrants who are released due to sanctuary policies.

āHow many times do these child rapists reoffend from the time they released them into jail and by the time we found them in the streets in the neighborhoods? Weāre going to go to Boston. Weāre going to make it safer. President Trump made a promise to the American people. Weāre going to make the community safer,ā Homan said. āWeāre going to decrease illegal alien crime to zero, and thatās exactly what weāre going to do. Boston can help or get the hell out of the way because weāre coming. Sheās not going to stop US. Weāre going to make Boston safer. Again, I canāt overemphasize, nine child rapists that we took off the street. ā
In January, the House Oversight Committee began investigating the sanctuary city policies of Boston, Denver, Chicago, and New York, while Attorney General Pam Bondi initiated lawsuits against Illinois and New York over similar issues. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detained multiple sex offenders released by Massachusetts authorities, despite requests for their deportations.
In June 2024, ICE agents arrested a 24-year-old undocumented immigrant from Guatemala, previously released on bail after being charged with child rape in Bristol County, Mass. In April 2024, they also took into custody an undocumented immigrant from Cape Verde, Mass., with multiple convictions for public lewdness.
The topic of illegal immigration regained prominence in the 2024 presidential campaign following a series of high-profile crimes committed by undocumented immigrants. On June 14, Oklahoma authorities apprehended Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez, a 23-year-old undocumented immigrant from El Salvador, for the August 2023 murder of 37-year-old Rachel Morin in Maryland.
In Houston, authorities arrested two men on June 20, charging them with the rape and murder of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray. Additionally, in February, Jose Antonio Ibarra, an undocumented immigrant from Venezuela, was arrestedĀ by University of Georgia police for the murder of 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley.
