Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Thomas Homan warned that California is in for a rude awakening after the Democratic governor allowed a sanctuary state law to begin this week.

During an interview Tuesday with Fox News host Neil Cavuto, Homan said California “better hold on tight” as President Trump’s administration is prepared to fight back against this ludicrous law shielding illegal immigrants.

Cavuto kicked off the interview highlighting that Gov. Jerry Brown recently said that the new sanctuary law will provide more protections for illegal immigrants trying to avoid law enforcement officers from “yanking them out of there.”

“I think it’s terrible,” Homan said, adding that Brown’s liberal politics are putting innocent American lives at risk.

Homan said that Brown’s administration didn’t even consult with him about approving the law and what implications it will have on allowing police officers to do their job.

“If [Brown] thinks he is protecting the community, he’s doing quite the opposite,” Homan said. “Brown is knowingly putting law enforcement at risk.”

“There’s no sanctuary from law enforcement,” he added. “California better hold on tight – they’re about to see a lot more deportation officers. If politicians don’t protect their communities then ICE will.”

Homan said illegal immigrants organizations can exploit this new law, which will allow them to operate across the U.S./Mexico border at will and without any restraint thanks to Brown’s measure.

Homan said he would love to see the Justice Department look into whether mayor or governors in California can be charged criminally under the state statute, adding that Brown may have violated 8 U.S. Code § 1324. which relates to “harboring certain aliens.”

Check out the full interview below:

As noted by the federal law cited by Homan, any person “knowing… the fact that an alien has come to… the United States in violation of the law, conceals, harbors or shields from detection… such [an] alien in any place” can face fines and/or up to several years in prison.

President Trump has made securing our border and nation a top priority since he took office, and it’s good to see Homan echoing that same concern.

We can no longer tolerate Congress dragging its feet and allowing liberals in California to protect illegal immigrants and keep our border wide open.
