Tom Homan Says ‘Chicago Is In Trouble’: ‘Your Mayor Sucks And Your Governor Sucks’

Tom Homan, President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming border czar, blasted Illinois Democratic leaders during a speech in Chicago this week as Trump draws up plans for mass deportations.

Homan discussed the incoming Trump administration’s plans during a GOP holiday party in the Windy City on Monday and urged Democrats Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson to work with the president-elect, Fox 32 reported. Both Pritzker and Johnson have vowed to fight Trump’s mass deportation policy.

“Chicago is in trouble because your mayor sucks and your governor sucks,” Homan said.

Homan said of Johnson, “If he doesn’t want to help, get the hell out of the way,” according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Johnson has promised to stand in the way of federal agents apprehending illegal immigrants in Chicago. After the election, the Democratic mayor called Trump a “tyrant” and said his plans to clamp down on illegal immigrants are “unconscionable and dangerous.”

Pritzker has similarly vowed to stand between the federal government and illegal immigrants. The governor shot back following Homan’s comments and said that Trump’s border czar “does not have the authority to do the things that he’s talked about,” NBC 5 Chicago reported.

“Being a border czar is not an official position in the government,” the governor said. Pritzker added that he’s “open to dialogue” with Homan.

Following Trump’s election victory last month, Pritzker said that the federal government would have to go through him to deport illegal immigrants in Illinois.

“To anyone who intends to come take away the freedom and opportunity and dignity of Illinoisans, I would remind you that a happy warrior is still a warrior,” he said. “You come for my people. You come through me.”

Multiple Chicago residents slammed Mayor Johnson and other Chicago officials over the sanctuary city policies during a recent city council meeting, Fox News reported.

“Mayor Brandon Johnson, you took an oath to uphold the Constitution. Or when you took an oath, was it only intended to fight for the 10th and 14th amendments regarding illegal aliens?” asked Zoe Leigh.

“We don’t want illegals in our community. We don’t want migrants terrorizing our own people and to have y’all sit up here and say we have to accept 7 million dollars being given to them when you have black people already struggling and need help,” added Chicago resident O. King. “It is a disgrace.”

Earlier this week, Homan warned sanctuary cities like Chicago about releasing illegal immigrants back onto the street after they commit a crime.

“If you let us in the jail, we can arrest the bad guy in the jail, in the safety and security of the jail. One officer could do that. But when you release the public safety threat back in the community, you put the community at risk,” he said. “You put my officers at risk. You put the alien at risk, because here’s what’s going to happen. You’re going to release that guy in the community, I’m going to send an entire team to go look for the guy in your community.”
