The shooting of an off-duty U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent in Fort Washington Park has escalated discussions on immigration and sanctuary city policies. Border Czar Tom Homan visited the wounded officer and family, expressing outrage and pledge for stronger enforcement actions in these jurisdictions. He criticized the New York City Council for obstructing law enforcement access at Rikers Island, claiming it creates risks for public safety. Homan underscored the need for an increased focus on sanctuary cities, promising aggressive actions to combat criminal activities.
"I visited the officer last night. He was heavily sedated, so I didn't have words with him, but I did talk to his family. They're devastated. It's just a shock to the soul when you walk in and see that young man lying there."
"Sanctuary cities are sanctuaries for criminals. Hard stop!" Homan's comments reflected a growing frustration with local policies that hinder federal law enforcement.
Homan slammed the New York City Council for allegedly blocking access to Rikers Island, stating, 'You got a city council here that locked us out of Rikers Island. Are you kidding me? So, an illegal alien in Rikers Island, we can't talk to.'
Homan announced an aggressive shift in strategy, aligning with previous statements from President Trump and Secretary Noem, asserting, 'Sanctuary cities are now our priority. We're gonna flood this town.'
