White House Border Czar Tom Homan sharply criticized Virginia's newly inaugurated Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) on Thursday, accusing her of undermining federal immigration enforcement efforts by signing an executive order that curtails the state's cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Spanberger, recently likened to a "Bond villain"
by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon, issued a series of
executive actions on her first day that read like a far-left wish list.
This, despite portraying herself as a moderate while running for the
office. One such action rescinded a prior directive from her Republican predecessor, Glenn Youngkin. Youngkin expanded collaboration among the Virginia State Police, the Department of Corrections, and ICE, allowing local officers to perform limited federal immigration duties and to facilitate the identification and deportation of individuals in custody who were subject to removal. She crumpled up that policy and tossed it in the trash within hours. And Homan is calling her out. “I’m a resident of Virginia, and Spanberger — I remember her campaign ads. ‘I’m a law enforcement officer. I rescued children from sex trafficking.’ I’ve seen the commercials,” Homan said in an interview with “Ruthless” co-host John Ashbrook. “So, first day in office, she stops being a law enforcement officer and became a politician because where’s all those commercials you did about supporting law enforcement and rescuing kids?” Campaigning as a tough-on-crime moderate, only to unleash sanctuary-style protections for illegals on day one, is certainly a choice. Homan went on to highlight the successes of the Trump administration in removing violent criminal illegal aliens from the United States, including locating "130,000 of those missing kids" lost under the Biden regime, as well as touting the recent surge in Minnesota.

As such, the admin will simply have to keep flooding the zone in so-called sanctuary cities, where the "sanctuary" is exclusively felt by criminals, not by the American people. "I said it from Day 1: the thousands of agents we're bringing on - we're going to flood sanctuary cities," Homan said. "We have to because you created a problem when you released some public safety threats in the streets." “So, unfortunately, they set the stage, and we’re going to do what we’ve got to do. They’re not going to stop us. They can stand on the sidelines and watch," he chided. "Shame on them, but they’re not going to stop us from doing this mission.” President Trump appears to be on board, recently calling out Spanberger for limiting cooperation with ICE in Virginia. "Well, I hope there are no problems because if there are, she's not gonna get it corrected very easily. And, uh, that's a bad signal. You know, that's not where the country is," he said in an interview with Katie Pavlich of NewsNation. "The country doesn't wanna see murderers and drug dealers and gang members, and all coming from other countries and just stay in their area."
"Take a look at Washington DC, as you know better than anybody, it was very, very unsafe a year and a half ago. Because now it's a year, so I have to go a little more than a year ago, but it was a very, very unsafe place," the President told Pavlich. "And now it's totally safe. It's a, it's a beautiful, I mean, people are walking with their kids to restaurants." Spanberger would prefer that the citizens of Virginia hide in the shadows, staying behind locked doors at home, rather than having criminal illegal aliens be a little skittish about having to be held accountable. Any Bond villain would be nodding with approval. |
