New York City is going to get more of what its left-wing politicians do not want, border czar Tom Homan says.

Homan is pledging to send more federal immigration officers to “sanctuary cities,” he explained, because arresting an illegal alien already in custody is much safer for law enforcement, the community, and the illegal immigrants themselves.

“Sanctuary cities get exactly what they don’t want—more agents in the community [and] more agents in the worksite[s],” he said.

“Sanctuary cities are now our priority,” the border czar said, adding that “sanctuary cities are sanctuaries for criminals. President [Donald] Trump is not going to tolerate it, and I’ll work every day with [Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem] to make sure we get as many bad guys, illegal aliens, out of this country that we can.”

If sanctuary cities such as New York refuse to cooperate and continue to release criminal illegal aliens onto the streets of the city, Homan says, federal officers will “flood the zone.”
