Tom Homan wants to double ICE footprint in sanctuary cities. Elon Musk is helping him get there

By Audrey Fahlberg | National Review The Department Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) cost-cutting efforts have roiled Washington in recent weeks, but according to President Donald Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, Elon Musk is committed to growing, rather than shrinking, at least one part of the federal government: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). “I talked to Elon Musk yesterday, he's trying to help us hire more agents,” Homan told National Review in a wide-ranging interview on Saturday at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Oxon Hill, Md. “I’ve actually talked to him about how to create efficiencies in the recruiting process and the ...

Adams puts his foot in his mouth, claims he wants to cooperate with ICE on civil enforcement — and is quickly forced to walk it back

By Craig McCarthy and Emily Crane | New York Post Mayor Eric Adams said Friday he wants to loosen New York City’s sanctuary laws to allow the NYPD to cooperate with ICE even on civil enforcement — only to quickly walk back the remarks. In a joint appearance alongside President Trump’s border czar Tom Homan, Hizzoner told Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” that he has been pushing the City Council to tweak the law so cops can help the feds crack down on illegal migrants. “What I asked the City Council to do is change the bill that was already in place and modify it … if you are committing a crime, then we should be able to collaborate with ICE — even on civil enforcement if you have committed a crime,” Adams said.

Aurora City Council Member: Leaks Interfered with Immigration Raids

By Hannah Knudsen | Breitbart Leaks have interfered with the work of border czar Tom Homan, Aurora City Council Member Danielle Jurinsky said during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily. Jurinsky is the councilwoman who blew the lid off the violent gang activity of Tren de Aragua in her city, despite constant smears against her and denials from officials. But, she was proven to be right, and now, Homan is on the case. While there have been arrests, however, some of the operations have been delayed or thwarted due to leaks, she revealed. “I heard it was over 100 people arrested,” host Mike Slater said. “But then I heard that it was leaked beforehand, and they went, they knocked on some doors, and they were empty.” READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

FBI agents may be source of leak on immigration operations like Aurora, ‘Border Czar’ Tom Homan says

By Kenneth Schrupp | The Center Square Border Czar Tom Homan says information indicates the FBI may have leaked details of an immigration enforcement operation to the media, thereby “putting officers at risk.” He says the U.S. Department of Justice has opened a criminal investigation into the matter and may criminally prosecute the responsible individuals. “[The Attorney General’s office] has promised not only will this person lose their job and pension, but they will go to jail,” said Homan in a televised interview Monday on Fox, where he also noted the possibility of an “ambush” due to the leaking of operational details READ THE FULL STORY AT THE CENTER SQUARE

Dr. Phil films as ICE targets migrants in Chicago

By Richard Pollina | Washington Examiner Dr. Phil McGraw embedded with US immigration enforcement officers during deportation raids on Sunday — quizzing a convicted child sex offender who smugly tried to brush off being in the country illegally. The TV host joined border czar Tom Homan in Chicago Sunday night when they took into custody Sam Seda, a Thai national who openly admitted he was not a citizen. “This is an example of sanctuary cities, right,” Homan told the host as they quizzed the cuffed migrant, one of 270 “high-value targets” they were seeking in the Windy City under President Trump’s new policy.
