In response, Republican governors have pledged to provide their state law enforcement agencies and National Guard units to aid in the deportation efforts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe stand ready to utilize every tool at our disposal\u2014whether through state law enforcement or the National Guard\u2014to support President Trump in this vital mission,\u201d the letter said.<\/p>\n<p>Several Democratic officials, meanwhile, have committed to opposing\u2014and potentially obstructing\u2014Trump\u2019s plans to carry out mass deportations and enforce federal immigration laws.<\/p>\n<p>Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey stated that state police will \u201cabsolutely not\u201d cooperate with federal law enforcement agents in executing the mass deportation initiative.<\/p>\n<p>Her remarks were made shortly before ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations agents in the state detained three undocumented individuals accused of sexually assaulting children. Notably, one of these individuals was released by a local police department, which reportedly disregarded an immigration detainer request from ICE.<\/p>\n<p>That said, former acting ICE Director Tom Homan, whom Trump has named his \u201cborder czar,\u201d has responded by threatening to arrest any state official that purposefully obstructs federal officials and agents from conducting removal operations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve got San Diego writing legislation. You\u2019ve got Colorado and other states and other cities saying they\u2019re going to prevent us doing what I\u2019m doing,\u201d he\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/trump-border-czar-tom-homan-sends-clear-message-sanctuary-cities-you-dont-want\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> host Maria Bartiromo earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to send a clear message. If you let us in the jail, we can arrest the bad guy in the jail and in the safety and security of the jail. One officer could do that, but when you release a public safety threat back into the community, you put the community at risk. You put my officers at risk. You put the alien at risk,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Homan said he is willing to arrest state Democratic officials who impede his officers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-10\">Advertisement<\/p>\n<div id=\"ld-12578241793956198-359\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cTom, you heard this mayor out there in Colorado, I want to get your reaction to it. And I want you to be clear about who has jurisdiction. The federal government or state and local governments? And if you\u2019re a sanctuary state or city, are you breaking the law?\u201d Fox News host Sean Hannity asked.<\/p>\n<p>Homan responded: \u201cYeah, you\u2019re absolutely breaking the law. All he has to do is look at\u00a0<i>Arizona vs. U.S.<\/i>\u00a0and you will see he\u2019s breaking the law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut look, me and the Denver mayor we agree on one thing. He\u2019s willing to go to jail. I\u2019m willing to put him in jail. There\u2019s a statute, Title 8, United States Code 1324 \u2013 AAA. And what it says is it\u2019s a felony if you knowingly harbor and conceal illegal aliens from immigration authorities. It is also a felony to impede a federal law enforcement officer,\u201d Homan continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo if you don\u2019t want to help, that\u2019s fine. He can get the hell out of the way, but we\u2019re going to go do the job. President Trump has a mandate from the American people. We\u2019ve got to secure this country and save American lives,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican governors from across the nation have signed a statement expressing their support for President-elect Donald Trump\u2019s mass deportation agenda.
