(DCWatchdog.com) – In a decisive move that will be welcomed by patriots, Tom Homan, Trump’s incoming “border czar,” issued a stark warning: states not cooperating with mass deportations of illegal aliens may be cut off from federal funding.

Homan’s stance sets the stage for escalating tensions with sanctuary cities like Denver, where Mayor Mike Johnston is preparing to push back.
Tom Homan plans to wield the power of the purse against states resisting federal immigration enforcement.
With around 13 million illegal immigrants in the U.S., the Trump administration is gearing up for mass deportations targeting national security threats.
Homan, a former acting director of ICE, emphasized that federal funding might be used as leverage against non-cooperative jurisdictions, reports BBC News.
The Supreme Court decision in Arizona v. United States reinforces federal supremacy in immigration matters, a point Homan has used to challenge sanctuary city policies.
However, cities like Los Angeles and Denver remain undeterred.
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston has publicly stated his willingness to resist federal forces and support local protests.
Johnston’s comments have sparked criticism from conservative figures, including Elon Musk and Sen. Rand Paul.
“Me and the Denver mayor, we agree on one thing: he’s willing to go to jail, I’m willing to put him in jail,” Tom Homan has stated, cited by The Daily Beast.
Homan’s aggressive stance signals a looming showdown between the Trump administration and sanctuary cities.
He has made it clear that he would enforce deportations even amid local opposition.
With Trump’s plan to use the U.S. military for deportations, the coming months could become a critical test of municipal self-governance versus federal imperatives.
The response from Democrat-run cities and states has been consistent, with promises to resist mass deportation efforts.
California, Illinois, and New Mexico, among others, are expected to legally challenge Trump’s plans.
However, Homan remains undeterred, advising undocumented immigrants to “self-deport” to avoid long-term consequences.
Despite recent declines in unlawful crossings, the Trump administration’s deportation plans could face logistical and financial obstacles.
Still, Homan’s resolve underscores a critical moment in America’s immigration debate, with ramifications for both federal policy and local governance.
“We are going to go do the job. President Trump has a mandate for the American people. We’ve got to secure this country, and we have to save American lives,” Homan has stated.
