On Monday's broadcast of Fox News Channel's “Fox & Friends,” New York City Councilman Robert Holden (D) said incoming border czar Tom Homan will hold sanctuary jurisdictions responsible for “protecting criminals and terrorists.” He said he liked that he had vowed to do so. The goal is to actually remove illegal immigrants who commit crimes and deport them from the country. ”
Holden said: “I love Tom Homan, the new border czar. He came on Fox last week and said he was going to hold mayors and governors accountable. Certainly, he said don't cross the line. “I did it,” he said. Because they are violating sanctuary city laws by protecting them. they are in violation. Protecting these criminals, illegal immigrants, is a serious crime. So we need to start doing that in earnest. We need to actually remove and deport illegal aliens who are committing crimes. ”
He added, “These sanctuary city governors, Democratic governors and mayors, they're protecting criminals and terrorists, Brian.”
Holden also said he's counting on President-elect Donald Trump to say, “If you're not going to go, if you're going to violate the law, the federal law, the statutes that we have in place, he can tell you what he's going to do.” , It is a serious crime to protect and hide an illegal alien who has committed a crime. …So the president could actually say to governors and mayors, “Cooperate with us or we're going to charge you with a felony.'' ”
