Border Czar: Mass Deportations Will Start In Chicago

Block Club Chicago reports:

President-elect Donald Trump’s hand-picked “border czar” said his mass deportation efforts will “start right here in Chicago” as he threatened local officials to open the city and its county jail to the will of federal immigration agents. Tom Homan — the former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement — addressed a friendly crowd of local Republicans Monday night at a Christmas party run by the Law & Order PAC.

Homan told attendees they’d see an influx of federal immigrant agents after Trump is sworn in, warning he would prosecute Mayor Brandon Johnson if he continued to “harbor and conceal” asylum seekers. “Do not impede us,” Homan said after taking to the “Trump-Vance 2024”-flanked podium to a DJ remix of “Bad To The Bone.” One person shouted “F— him,” about Johnson, as the crowd erupted in support.
