Leaders of so-called sanctuary cities should be criminally charged and held “personally accountable” for shielding illegal immigrants from deportation, said President Trump’s choice to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
ICE Acting Director Thomas Homan suggested in an interview with Fox News that places like California are putting “politics ahead of safety.”
“We gotta take [sanctuary cities] to court, and we gotta start charging some of these politicians with crimes,” Homan said.
Claiming “more citizens are going to die because of these policies,” Homan said the Justice Department must hold some politicians “personally accountable.”
Human said he plans to send in federal agents to protect residents in cities and states that refuse to work with ICE on immigration issues.
