During a Monday morning presser, Border Czar Tom Homan confirmed that DHS is making sanctuary cities a priority moving forward, after an off-duty agent was shot in New York City.
“Sanctuary cities are sanctuaries for criminals,” Homan said. “I’m going to work very hard with Secretary Noem to keep President Trump’s promise and his commitment several weeks ago — sanctuary cities are now our priority. We’re going to flood the zone.”
“We’re going to have more agents in New York City,” Homan continued, adding, “Sanctuary cities will now get exactly what they don’t want: more agents in the community.”
