On “day one” of his second term, President Donald Trump will deploy federal law enforcement into immigrant communities across the country to arrest, detain, and deport individuals in the U.S. without legal permission — starting with Chicago, Tom Homan, Trump’s pick for border czar, said.
Tom Homan“We’re going to start right here in Chicago,” Homan told the Law and Order PAC and the Northwest Side GOP Club, warning officials in America’s third-largest city to “get the hell out of the way” of Trump’s plans for mass deportations or risk prosecution.
Homan said the city and the state of Illinois are “in trouble” because “your mayor sucks and your governor sucks.”

“If your Chicago mayor doesn’t want to help, he can step aside,” Homan said. “But if he impedes us — if he knowingly harbors or conceals an illegal alien — I will prosecute him.”
Homan also said that the children of non-citizens are expected to be deported along with their families.
“I’m not looking to separate families at all. That’s not my goal,” Homan said. “My goal is to enforce the law, but if you put yourself in that position, it may happen. But there’s no plan in this administration right now to separate families. It just isn’t. However, we’re going to enforce the law. So if you put yourself in that position, it’s on you.”
Trump reiterated his pledge to end birthright citizenship in an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press on Dec. 8.

Homan suggested that the children of immigrants who arrived in the country illegally — so called “dreamers” under the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals Act, or DACA — could remain in the country through some mechanism.
Dreamers “can either take a child home with you, or they just stay here,” according to Homan. “But you don’t get a pass.”
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and other Democrat officials across the country have vowed not to cooperate with federal authorities through “sanctuary” provisions.
Homan told Johnson to “get the hell out of the way,” adding that individuals who are found “with” targeted immigrants could also face arrest.
“When they go find that bad guy, and when they find him, he’s probably going to be with others, others that are not a priority because they’re not criminals. But guess what? They’re going to be arrested, too,” he said. “Because he forced me into that position. So he wants to play the game. I’ll play that game.”
