WASHINGTON (TNND) — White House border czar Tom Homan defended President Trump’s decision to dispatch the National Guard to Chicago. Homan said the move could begin as soon as next week in an interview with CNN.
Homan told Jake Tapper of State of the Union on Sunday, “You can expect action in most sanctuary cities across the country. President Trump’s prioritized sanctuary cities because sanctuary cities knowingly release illegal alien public safety threats to the streets every day. That’s where the problem is.”
President Trump dispatched the National Guard to Washington in August despite opposition from DC residents. Trump has since boasted that the city is “NOW A CRIME FREE ZONE,” and turned to cities such as Chicago, New Orleans and Baltimore to expand his crackdown on immigration and crime.
President Trump vows a sweeping federal crackdown on crime and immigration enforcement in major cities like Chicago, sparking backlash and raising questions about National Guard deployment.
