Homan on Trump Slashing Funds to States Not Cooperating on Deportation: ‘That’s Going To Happen’

LEVIN: “You know, Tom Homan, you’ve got a very, very powerful weapon that the Democrats, when they’re in power, use against Republican administrations, state and local, all the time: federal funding. If you have a governor who says, ‘I am not going to cooperate, I’m going to block you,’ well, then federal funds should be slashed to that state, and I mean hugely so, so that the people of that state understand that the governor is the responsible party, that the mayor is the responsible party. They could beat their chests to being sanctuary cities all they want. They are part of the United States whether they like it or not. This is a federal issue. Even the governor of Texas, he is the one trying to enforce federal law against the Biden Administration. But these states, much like the Confederacy, they want to go on their own, they want to do their own thing. To me, you’ve got a powerful weapon, among others, which is, okay, no federal funds, boom. Last thoughts?”
HOMAN: “And that’s going to happen. I guarantee you. President Trump will do that. Second of all, this administration has turned this world upside down. Now I am being attacked, right, I’ve got death threats, my family’s not even living in my home right now. So all of a sudden, the guys who won’t enforce the law, the bad guys, the bad guys who break the law are the victims. And for those mayors and those governors who say they’re going to stop ICE from doing their job, stop me from doing this job, listen to the Laken Riley tape. Listen to the 17 minutes of this girl suffering, fighting for her life, fighting for her breath. This little girl didn’t want to die, she fought like hell. Listen to that tape. That happens every day across this country at the hands of an illegal alien. And finally I’ll say this: President Trump has made it clear, were going to prioritize public safety threats and national security threats right out of the gate because they pose the most danger to this country. What governor or mayor doesn’t want public safety threats and national security threats out of their neighborhoods, out of their communities? That’s their number one responsibility. So you can hate Trump all you want, but you’ve got to love your community more than you hate President Trump.”
LEVIN: “Right. Many of them don’t. But the American people have spoken, and they have spoken loudly in a landslide election that they want this fixed, that President Trump and you are the right guys to do it. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, my friend. Thank you very, very much.”
HOMAN: “Thank you for having me.”
