It has now been verified by the incoming Border Czar, Tom Homan, that states that fail to “cooperate” with President-elect Donald Trump’s plans for the mass deportation of illegal immigrants will have their federal funds slashed in response.
Following his landslide victory in the election, President Trump has now underlined his dedication to carrying out his campaign promise of implementing the largest deportation program in the history of the United States on his first day in office during his presidency.
Homan, who served as acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under the first administration of Donald Trump, made an appearance on the Fox News show Life, Liberty & Levin to discuss the idea with the host, Mark Levin.
During the course of the conversation, Levin made the suggestion that the Trump administration possessed a “powerful weapon” in the shape of federal funds, which it might employ in order to contend with Democratic states that are attempting to “block” the implementation of the policy.
“Much like the Confederacy, they want to go on their own. They want to do their own thing. To me, you got a powerful weapon among others, okay, no federal funds – boom – last thoughts?” the host asked Homan.
“And that is going to happen. I guarantee President Trump will do that.” Homan said in response.
“Second of all, this administration has turned this world upside down. Now I am being attacked, right, I’ve got death threats, my family’s not even living in my home right now. So all of a sudden, the guys who won’t enforce the law, the bad guys, the bad guys who break the law are the victims.” he continued.
As he shifted his focus to governors who are fighting against deportations, he brought up the story of Laken Riley, a student who was killed in February while out running by a Venezuelan man who had entered the United States illegally.
“For those mayors and those governors who say they’re going to stop ICE from doing their job, stop me from doing this job, listen to the Laken Riley tape. Listen to the 17 minutes of this girl suffering, fighting for her life, fighting for her breath. This little girl didn’t want to die, she fought like hell. Listen to that tape. That happens every day across this country at the hands of an illegal alien.” Homan concluded.
