President Donald Trump’s incoming border czar Tom Homan has dropped the hammer on Democrat mayors and other local officials who are planning to “harbor illegal aliens.”
Homan warns state and local officials that it’s a felony offense to obstruct federal officials who are working to deport illegals.
Trump’s new border chief, who previously served as acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), issued the warning during a Tuesday interview on Fox News.

Fox host Lawrence Jones asked Homan how he would deal with Democrat governors, mayors, or police chiefs who refuse to help or even get in the way of federal deportation efforts.
“Well first of all, if they don’t want to help us, get the hell out of the way, we’re going to do it,” Homan said.
“If I got to send twice the amount of resources to that city, that’s what we are going to do.
“If they give us access to the jail, that’ll mean less agents in their community,” Homan said.
“For them pushing back and not letting us in the jail, it just means more agents are going to be in the community, so they’re hurting themselves.”
Homan suggested that these officials should familiarize themselves with federal statutes governing immigration.
“Finally I will say this: They need to educate themselves.
“They need to review this: Title 8, United States Code § 1324 (III), read about that, and don’t cross that line, because it is a felony to harbor and conceal illegal aliens from ICE.
“Read the statute. Don’t cross that line.”
Homan said he would be receptive to cooperating with law enforcement agencies that “want to help” with cracking down on the border crisis through Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
