During an appearance on Fox News Channel’s Hannity on Monday night, incoming Border Czar Tom Homan issued a pointed rebuke to sanctuary jurisdictions, specifically targeting Denver Mayor Mike Johnston. Homan not only affirmed that sanctuary cities are violating federal law but also made it clear that he is willing to take action, stating, “He’s willing to go to jail, I’m willing to put him in jail.”

Tom Homan: “Me and the Denver mayor, we agree on one thing: He’s willing to go to jail.

Host Sean Hannity framed the discussion around jurisdictional authority, asking whether sanctuary policies contravene federal immigration law. Homan’s response left no room for ambiguity: “You’re absolutely breaking the law. All [Johnston] has to do is look at Arizona v. U.S., and you’ll see that he’s breaking the law.”

Federal Law and Sanctuary Policies

Homan cited Title 8 of the United States Code, Section 1324 (iii), as the basis for his assertion that sanctuary jurisdictions are committing felonies. The statute makes it a criminal offense to “knowingly harbor and conceal an illegal alien from immigration authorities” and also criminalizes actions that “impede a federal law enforcement officer.” According to Homan, the Denver Mayor’s policies and rhetoric fall squarely into these categories.

“If you don’t want to help, that’s fine,” Homan added, addressing sanctuary city leaders. “He can get the hell out of the way. But we’re going to go do the job. President Trump has a mandate from the American people. We’ve got to secure this country, we’ve got to save American lives.”

Homan’s reference to former President Trump’s mandate underscores a renewed push by conservatives to ensure strict enforcement of immigration laws. The rhetoric aligns with Republican voters’ expectations for a robust stance against illegal immigration and the perceived laxity of sanctuary jurisdictions.

Sanctuary Policies: A Public Safety Threat

Homan expressed incredulity that any mayor or governor would oppose efforts to remove “public safety threats” from communities. He pointed out that the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement priorities focus on national security risks and criminal aliens.

“I find it shocking,” Homan remarked, “that any mayor of a city would say—President Trump’s been clear, we want to concentrate on public safety threats and national security threats—I find it hard to believe that any mayor or governor would say they don’t want public safety threats removed from their neighborhoods.”

Critics of sanctuary city policies argue that they create havens for criminal behavior while undermining federal law enforcement. Homan’s comments reflect the frustration among conservatives who view these policies as a dangerous affront to the rule of law and a betrayal of American citizens’ safety.

A Broader Conservative Push

Homan’s remarks signal an intensifying focus on holding sanctuary jurisdictions accountable. Conservatives have long maintained that sanctuary policies prioritize illegal immigrants over law-abiding citizens, an issue that resonates with voters seeking greater security and sovereignty.

The Denver Mayor’s stance, in contrast, reflects the left’s persistent commitment to shielding illegal immigrants under the guise of compassion and inclusivity. However, critics like Homan view such policies as reckless and illegal, particularly when they impede federal efforts to enforce immigration laws.

As Homan prepares to assume his role as Border Czar, his willingness to confront sanctuary jurisdictions head-on represents a decisive shift. This tough stance is a welcome development, signaling that accountability may finally be enforced in jurisdictions where the law has been flouted for too long.

Conclusion

Tom Homan’s message to Denver Mayor Mike Johnston and other sanctuary leaders is clear: the law is not optional. By invoking federal statutes and the precedent set in Arizona v. U.S., Homan underscores the legal and moral imperative to prioritize American safety over political agendas. As the debate over sanctuary policies continues, Homan’s unapologetic commitment to enforcing the law will likely galvanize those who believe that sovereignty and public safety should not be compromised.
