If Dems Resisting Deportations, 'Get the Hell Out of the Way'

SUMMARY

Tom Homan, appointed to lead President-elect Donald Trump's mass deportation plan, warned Democratic officials resisting the effort, including Gov. Maura Healey (MA) and mayors Brandon Johnson (Chicago) and Michelle Wu (Boston), to "get the hell out of the way." Speaking to Newsmax, Homan emphasized that while these officials do not need to assist, they should not impede enforcement actions. He cited Title 8, U.S. Code 1324, which addresses the legal consequences for knowingly harboring illegal immigrants, warning of potential legal action if officials cross this line. Homan defended the deportation plan, focusing on removing criminals and national security threats from communities, and criticized Democrats for not prioritizing public safety. He expressed hope that Trump would reinstate the 'Remain in Mexico' policy, which had been effective in deterring illegal immigration by requiring asylum seekers to stay in Mexico until their U.S. court hearings.
