Border Czar Homan: I’ll Prosecute NJ Governor If He’s Concealing An Illegal Alien

President Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, having been alerted to New Jersey Democrat governor Phil Murphy admitting he had an immigrant who lacked full documentation residing in his home and daring the federal government to “try and get her,” indicated he would seek to prosecute Murphy if he was knowingly harboring an illegal immigrant.

Speaking at a public event with “Blue Wave New Jersey,” Murphy bragged that New Jersey was “the lead state in challenging birthright citizenship.” Later, he said defiantly, “There is someone in our broader universe whose immigration status is not yet at the point that they are trying to get it to and we said, ‘You know what? Let’s have her live at our house above our garage’ and good luck to the feds coming in to try to get her.”

“Let me read a headline to you: ‘Chicago leaders encourage residents to exercise their rights in resisting Trump’s deportation policies.’ The governor of New Jersey, Phil Murphy, basically admitted he knew somebody that didn’t have full documentation that he was hiding over his garage. Your comment on all of that?” Fox news host Sean Hannity asked Homan.

“I think the governor is pretty foolish … I got note of it. Won’t let it go. We’ll look into it. And if he’s knowingly, knowingly  harboring, concealing an illegal alien, that’s a violation of Title VIII, United States Code 1324. I would seek prosecution or the Secretary would seek prosecution,” Homan answered.

“So maybe he’s bluffing; maybe he’s not; we’ll deal with that,” he continued., then turned to sanctuary cities. “And as far as suing sanctuary cities, well, get in line, because the Trump administration’s going to do that already. Sanctuary cities are sanctuaries for criminals. With one example, sanctuary cities in New York City. If they would have gave (sic) us over the killer of Laken Riley when he got arrested in New York City for endangering a child, he would have been in jail and he would never have killed Laken Riley. Sanctuary cities are responsible for deaths of thousands, thousands of young children throughout my career. And we’re going to sue ‘em. … Look, we’ve got the Supreme Court; that’s what President Trump wanted to do. He will end sanctuary cities.”

JUST IN: Border Czar Tom Homan says he plans on going after NJ Governor Phil Murphy who taunted the Trump admin when he revealed that he was housing an illegal immigrant.

Murphy: We are housing an illegal above our garage. Good luck to the Feds who will try to get her.
