Tom Homan told Democratic officials to ‘get the hell out of the way’ of his sweeping anti-immigrant agenda
Donald Trump’s incoming “border czar” wants officials in America’s third-largest city to “get the hell out of the way” of his plans for mass deportations or risk prosecution.
In remarks to a group of Chicago Republicans on Monday night, Tom Homan said the city and the state of Illinois are “in trouble” because “your mayor sucks and your governor sucks.”
Trump’s pledge to arrest, detain and deport people living in the country without legal permission as part of his “day one” agenda would deploy federal, state and local law enforcement into immigrant communities across the country — starting in the Windy City, according to Homan.
“We’re going to start right here in Chicago,” he said during a holiday party hosted by the Law and Order PAC and the Northwest Side GOP Club.
“If your Chicago mayor doesn’t want to help, he can step aside,” he added. “But if he impedes us — if he knowingly harbors or conceals an illegal alien — I will prosecute him.”
Homan, Trump’s former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, is expected to carry out what the president-elect has described as “the largest mass deportation operation in American history,” which his allies expect to expand to target potentially millions of people beyond the scope of undocumented immigrants who are accused of committing crimes.
Homan also said that the children of non-citizens are expected to be deported along with their families.
“I’m not looking to separate families at all. That’s not my goal,” Homan said. “My goal is to enforce the law, but if you put yourself in that position, it may happen. But there’s no plan in this administration right now to separate families. It just isn’t. However, we’re going to enforce the law. So if you put yourself in that position, it’s on you.” --->READ MORE HERE

Donald Trump's designated Border Czar was in Chicago at a GOP Christmas party on Tuesday, and he made it clear to anyone listening that he and his boss were dead serious about deporting the masses of illegal aliens in Chicago and that the effort would begin in the Windy City.
“Chicago’s in trouble because your mayor sucks and your governor sucks,” Homan said to cheers. Later, he called both Democratic leaders “terrible,” while also asking them to “come to the table" to negotiate.
Homan warned that he would prosecute Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson if he impeded the deportation efforts.
“Because of his actions, we’re going to be arresting a hell of a lot more people than our priorities,” said Homan, telling Johnson and other Democratic officials to “get the hell out of the way.”
If the deportation job is left solely up to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE), it will be an uphill climb. That's why it's vital that if a deportation plan is to work, the Feds must have the support of local law enforcement.
In Chicago, that's a stretch.
Chicago and the state of Illinois are two of the most unfriendly places for ICE agents to operate. "ICE agents aren’t granted access to undocumented detainees inside Cook County Jail and Cook County officials are not required to notify federal authorities when undocumented detainees are in local custody," according to the Chicago publication Block Club. The state also forbids the renting of jail beds to ICE agents. --->READ MORE HEREFOLLOW LINK BELOW TO A RELEVANT STORY:
