Tom Homan: We are putting sanctuary cities ‘on notice’

Border czar Tom Homan discusses sanctuary city policies and the ‘Speedway Slammer’ migrant detention facility on ‘The Faulkner Focus.’

The Trump administration is ramping up its crackdown on sanctuary cities, accusing them of protecting undocumented migrants with criminal backgrounds.

Border czar Tom Homan joined "The Faulkner Focus" on Wednesday and declared these cities were officially "on notice."

"Promises made, promises kept," said Homan. "President Trump promised he'd take the sanctuary cities on, and that's exactly what we're doing."

Attorney General Pam Bondi is also calling out sanctuary cities. The Justice Department released a list of jurisdictions it claims are obstructing federal immigration enforcement.

The list included major cities like New York, Boston, and Chicago. It also called out states like California, Colorado, and Minnesota. All the cities, states, and counties listed have predominantly swung towards left-leaning policies.

"I thank God Pam Bondi stepped on this right away," said Homan of the list. "We're putting them on notice."

The Justice Department statement said the areas included on the list were evaluated based on their laws, executive directives, and local ordinances. Immigration officials alleged that some of these measures have been used to "impede enforcement of federal immigration statutes and regulations."

"When a public safety threat, illegal alien [is] in your jail, work with us, give us access to the jail," urged Homan.
