(WND)—With no signs of violence abating in Minnesota amid anti-ICE protests, President Donald Trump on Monday morning announced he was dispatching his border czar, Tom Homan, to the state.
“I am sending Tom Homan to Minnesota tonight,” Trump said on Truth Social.
“He has not been involved in that area, but knows and likes many of the people there. Tom is tough but fair, and will report directly to me.”
Trump also is calling attention to the massive amount of fraud that has been uncovered in Minnesota, and said: “Separately, a major investigation is going on with respect to the massive 20 Billion Dollar, Plus, Welfare Fraud that has taken place in Minnesota, and is at least partially responsible for the violent organized protests going on in the streets.
“Additionally, the DOJ and Congress are looking at ‘Congresswoman’ Illhan Omar, who left Somalia with NOTHING, and is now reportedly worth more than 44 Million Dollars. Time will tell all.”
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt added: “Tom Homan will be managing ICE Operations on the ground in Minnesota to continue arresting the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens. In addition, Tom will coordinate with those leading investigations into the massive, widespread fraud that has resulted in billions of taxpayer dollars being stolen from law-abiding citizens in Minnesota.”
Trump also explained why the violence is taking place, as he pointed out the stark difference between states cooperating with the federal government, and those that are not.
“During the four years of Crooked Joe Biden and Democrat failed leadership, Tens of Millions of Illegal Alien Criminals poured into our Country, including Hundreds of Thousands of Convicted Murderers, Rapists, Kidnappers, Drug Dealers, and Terrorists,” Trump said.
“I won the Election in a Historic Landslide, and Republicans won Majorities in both the House and Senate, in large part, because we pledged to SEAL THE BORDER, which we have done, and launch the largest Mass Deportation of Illegal Alien Criminals in American History. This Deportation effort is underway, and in Republican run Cities and States, these operations are going peacefully and smoothly, because Local Law Enforcement Officers are allowed to work with their Federal counterparts. For example, in the five Republican run States of Texas, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and Louisiana, ICE has arrested 150,245 Criminal Illegal Aliens over the past year – with ZERO protests, riots, or chaos. Why? Because Local Police and ICE are cooperating and working together.
“Meanwhile, Democrat run Sanctuary Cities and States are REFUSING to cooperate with ICE, and they are actually encouraging Leftwing Agitators to unlawfully obstruct their operations to arrest the Worst of the Worst People! By doing this, Democrats are putting Illegal Alien Criminals over Taxpaying, Law-Abiding Citizens, and they have created dangerous circumstances for EVERYONE involved. Tragically, two American Citizens have lost their lives as a result of this Democrat ensued chaos.
On Sunday, as WorldNetDaily reported, Trump urged Congress to immediately pass legislation that would end sanctuary cities, and also called on “every” Democrat governor and mayor in America to formally cooperate with his administration to enforce U.S. laws.
