Incoming border czar Tom Homan warns: Don't cross the line or there will be 'consequences'
Gov. Greg Abbott, R-Texas, and incoming border czar Tom Homan reveal how the Trump administration will stop the flow of illegal migrants on 'Hannity.'
Democratic Denver Mayor Mike Johnston was scolded by his hometown newspaper for "amping up violent rhetoric" with his vow to resist President-elect Trump’s deportation of illegal immigrants.
The editorial board at the Denver Post on Monday published an editorial with the headline, "Denver’s mayor was wrong to threaten armed conflict to protect immigrants," referring to Johnston’s recent suggestion of using the Denver Police to resist federal immigration officials attempting to carry out their job.
"We are not surprised Johnston recklessly elevated the rhetoric around protecting Coloradans without legal immigration status. But that doesn’t make it OK," the editorial said.
