In a very entertaining and fun to watch statement that aired on CNN’s “State of the Union” program, Trump Administration Border Czar Tom Homan went absolutely nuclear on CNN host Jake Tapper, exposing the reality of the Trump Administration’s fight against the cartels and how that is running into the fight with blue cities.
That came during the Sunday, September 7, broadcast of the program that was sparked by President Donald Trump’s indication that he will send the National Guard to Chicago, a notoriously crime-ridden sanctuary city, to crack down on the crime problem and assist ICE in defending itself while finding and detaining illegal aliens.
In fact, speaking on the matter of sanctuary cities and why the Trump Administration is taking such relentless action to combat them, the border czar explained that those cities are letting threats to American safety back out on the streets time and time again, thus putting Americans at risk.
He said, on that very important point, “You can expect action in most sanctuary cities across the country. President Trump’s prioritized sanctuary cities because sanctuary cities knowingly release illegal alien public safety threats to the streets every day. That’s where the problem is.”
Then, contrasting the problem in sanctuary cities with the good behavior of states like Texas and Florida that are assisting the crackdown, he said, “We don’t have that problem in Florida, where every sheriff and chief works for us, right, or Texas, so we’ve got to send additional resources to the problem areas, which are sanctuary cities.”
Further, commenting on the reason for the potential National Guard deployment to Chicago, he said, “They’re a force multiplier. They’re on the table. I mean, they have been used by every administration since I have been working for the government starting in 1984. Every administration has used the Guard and the military on the border. And they have been very beneficial.”
And, returning to the matter of hammering Chicago for its behavior, Homan told Tapper, “Governor Pritzker has been notified from day one. I went there and started an operation right after the inauguration.” He added, “ICE agents have been flooding the zone in Chicago for a while now, so he’s aware of what’s going on. I mean, he knows we’ve been there. We were there last week. We were there the week before.”

Tapper then made a big mistake, referencing President Donald Trump’s very entertaining, Apocalypse Now-themed Truth Social post about fighting against far-left sanctuary cities of the Chicago sort, insinuating that the post was inappropriate and asking about why Trump sees himself and his administration as at war with sanctuary cities.
Border Czar Homan, firing back and shutting Tapper down by noting that ICE and the administration generally are going to war with the cartels and other malefactors who are preying on Americans, saying, “We’re going to war with criminal illegal alien cartels. We’re going to war with illegal alien public safety threats, who r*pe children.”
