Tom Homan Vows to ‘Flood the Zone’ in Sanctuary Cities After Minnesota Crackdown

White House Border Czar Tom Hohman said that he wants to “flood the zone” of sanctuary cities with immigration enforcement after making progress in Minnesota.
“The number of agents depends on the situation on the ground," he said in an interview with Face the Nation. "How many known criminal targets are out there, because we know we have a problem with sanctuary cities, because we know they’re releasing public safety threats to the public.”
It’s safer for everyone involved if sanctuary cities hold illegal aliens on detainers so ICE doesn’t have to send six or seven people to go hunt those criminals down, Homan said in the interview.
Hohman didn’t name any specific sanctuary cities, but the Department of Justice released a list of sanctuary cities, states, and counties. Sanctuary cities obstruct federal law enforcement from arresting illegal aliens, such as in Chicago and over 1,000 other cities nationwide, according to the Federation for Immigration Reform.
