2: HOMAN PROMISES TO “FLOOD THE ZONE” OF SANCTUARY CITIES WITH ICE AGENTS

Homan Declares War After ICE Agent Shot by Criminal Illegals

Border Czar Tom Homan announced a massive escalation in immigration enforcement, promising to “flood the zone” of sanctuary cities with federal agents following the shooting of an off-duty Customs and Border Protection officer in New York City. During a Monday press conference, Homan declared “sanctuary cities are now our priority” after two illegal alien criminals from the Dominican Republic shot the CBP officer in the face during an attempted robbery.

Criminal Illegals Released by Biden Now Terrorizing Americans

The two suspects, Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez and Cristian Aybar Berroa, both entered the country illegally under Biden’s open border policies and were released into American communities. Nunez was apprehended and released in April 2023, while Berroa entered illegally in 2022 and has been arrested multiple times in New York City for crimes including reckless endangerment, grand larceny, and driving without a license—yet was repeatedly released by sanctuary city policies.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem revealed that attacks on ICE agents have spiked 830% between January 21 and July 14, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, showing how Democrat sanctuary policies are directly endangering federal law enforcement officers trying to protect American communities.

“Sanctuary Cities Get Exactly What They Don’t Want”

Homan delivered a brutal warning to sanctuary city politicians: “Sanctuary cities get exactly what they don’t want—more agents in the community and more agents in the worksite. If we can’t arrest that bad guy in the safety and security of county jail, we’re gonna arrest them in the community, and when we arrest them in the community, if he’s with others that are in the country illegally, they’re coming too.”

The Border Czar explained the escalation strategy: “We’re going to have more agents in New York City to look for that bad guy, so sanctuary cities get exactly what they don’t want: More agents in the community and more agents in the worksite. If we can’t arrest that bad guy in the safety and security of county jail, we’re gonna arrest them in the community.”

Multi-Agency Task Forces Will Overwhelm Liberal Resistance

Homan promised to deploy massive multi-agency task forces including “FBI, DEA, ICE, U.S. Marshals” to flood sanctuary cities when local politicians refuse to cooperate. “We’re going to flood the zone with agents, multi-agency FBI, DEA, ICE, U.S. Marshals, and we’re going to flood the zone. If he wants to push back and support sanctuary cities, that means we flood the zone. We’ll flood the zone in the neighborhood to find the bad guy. We’ll flood the zone at work sites to find the bad guy.”

Socialist NYC Mayor Candidate Gets Reality Check

When asked about socialist NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s promise to “refuse” ICE cooperation and “stop masked ICE agents from deporting our neighbors,” Homan delivered a devastating response: “We’re going double down, triple down on sanctuary cities. We’re going to increase community operation. We’re going to increase worksite enforcement operation. We’re going to get the bad guys. So they don’t want to help, get out of the way. We’re coming to do it.”

Record Deportation Goals Demand Massive Operations

Homan revealed the staggering scale of the enforcement challenge, stating “We’ve got to arrest 7,000 illegal aliens every single day for the remainder of this administration just to catch the ones Biden released into this nation.” With more than 8.7 million illegal aliens encountered under Biden’s policies, the Trump administration is targeting 3,000 detentions per day minimum while building toward even higher numbers.

Tom Homan’s “flood the zone” strategy means sanctuary cities that endanger Americans by protecting criminal illegals will face overwhelming federal enforcement pressure. When liberal politicians choose to shield rapists, murderers, and gang members from deportation, Homan ensures these criminals get arrested anyway while making your neighborhoods safer. The massive surge in ICE agents means dangerous illegals can no longer hide behind corrupt sanctuary city policies that put criminal aliens ahead of American citizens.
