Border Czar Tom Homan talked with Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures” about ICE arrests and the effects of sanctuary cities on their operations.
“How significant is that pushback and is it stopping you from doing your job?” Bartiromo asked.
“Absolutely not gonna stop us. I mean it makes our job more difficult. It makes the job more dangerous,” Homan responded.
“Sanctuary city makes it difficult. What is most concerning though, it makes it more dangerous. When we can arrest a bad guy in a county jail. If one officer arrests one guy in the safety and security of county jail or state prison. But when these sanctuary cities release a public safety threat back into the public, which on its face is just ridiculous, it is more dangerous for the ICE officers to make that arrest,” Homan said.
“We want to work with sanctuary cities and get into the jail. Give us access to the guy that you locked in a jail cell. That’s who we want to talk to,” Homan continued.
Bartiromo also discussed with Border Czar Homan about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) efforts to help illegal aliens evade ICE through webinars.
“You’ve got Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez doing webinars to explain to illegal immigrants how to evade ICE arrests,” Bartiromo said.
“What she needs to do is read the statutes enacted by Congress. Title 8, United States code 1324,” Homan responded.
“When you harbor and conceal and impede law enforcement, that’s a felony,” Homan said.
“What she is really doing, you and I and the rest of the country know, she is trying to teach them how to evade law enforcement,” Homan continued.
Homan had explained that the people that AOC was helping are convicted criminals and have orders to be removed from the United States.
“These people been ordered removed. The people we are looking for now have final orders. They are criminals. They are in the country illegally. A judge has ordered them removed. They have become a fugitive and these are the folks she is helping?” Homan continued.
Homan also said that he reached out to the DOJ for a legal opinion on impeding law enforcement.
“I simply asked DOJ give me a legal opinion because every Department of Justice will interpret things differently. What is the legal opinion on impediment? And we will see what happens.” Homan said.
