Border czar Tom Homan is not backing away from his vow of “bringing hell” to Boston, saying that Mayor Michelle Wu “should be standing beside” him in the Trump administration’s effort to “shut down illegal alien crime.”
“If I can get to live in her mind rent-free every day, that’s kind of cool,” Homan told Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Wednesday. “I love my job. I work for the greatest president in my lifetime. We’re making America safe again.
“President Trump promised American people we’re going to shut down illegal alien crime in this country,” the border czar added. “That’s exactly what we’re doing. Mayor Wu should be standing beside me. Who does not want to bring hell to an illegal alien that raped a child?”
Homan’s comments came hours after Wu testified on sanctuary policies and how she believes they’ve helped make Boston the “safest major city in the country” during a congressional hearing in Washington, throwing a shot at the border czar.
“Let’s talk about Tom Homan,” the Boston mayor said. “Shame on him for lying about my city, for having the nerve to insult our police commissioner who has overseen the safest Boston has been in anyone’s lifetime. Bring him here under oath, and let’s ask him some questions.
“I am here to make sure that the city of Boston is safe,” Wu added. “Others may want to bring hell. We are here to bring peace to cities everywhere.”
Wu brought up Homan in response to a question from Boston native U.S. Rep. Gerry Connolly D-Va.) about what the mayor thought of comments Homan made late last month at the Conservative Political Action Conference in D.C.
“Border czar Tom Homan said he’s ‘bringing hell’ to the city of Boston until it complies with his demands,” Connolly said. “I don’t know what that means. Boston is my hometown, and I am glad to welcome our mayor, Mayor Wu, and her one-month-old baby here today.
“But I don’t know if Boston welcomes Mr. Homan or anyone else bringing hell to the city,” the Virginia Democrat added.
During his fiery speech at CPAC, Homan slammed Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox for becoming “a politician” and the department’s limited cooperation with federal immigration enforcement under the city’s Trust Act.
The 2014 local law prohibits city police and other departments from cooperating with federal authorities on civil immigration detainers.
Wu may be facing criminal prosecution for the city’s sanctuary policies after the prospect of federal charges was raised by numerous Republican lawmakers who grilled her at the Congressional oversight hearing.
Florida Republican Anna Paulina Luna called the Trust Act a violation of federal law.
“That is not the truth,” Wu shot back to Luna’s assertion.
Wu and Homan have verbally tussled since Donald Trump won re-election last November, and the feud has built over the months.
The border czar called Wu “not very smart” days after Trump’s victory when the Boston mayor vowed protection for all immigrants in “every possible way” under the administration’s mass deportation efforts.
“They can say whatever they want about me, but our public safety record speaks for itself: Boston is the safest major city in America,” the mayor said in a statement at the time. “Our homicide rates are among the lowest of any city nationally, and gun violence has been at an all-time historic low over the last two years here in Boston.”
In his interview on Fox News Wednesday night, Homan highlighted how US Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested seven Tren de Aragua members, two illegal aliens convicted of murder, and six child predators during a raid he partook in in Chicago after Trump regained office.
“Look, they can hate me all they want,” Homan said of sanctuary city leaders. “We are coming. I said I’m going to bring hell. I meant it. I’m going to stand by it. And I’m going to do it. We’re going to take child predators off the streets of these cities where they don’t want to do it.”
