Tom Homan Threatens to Arrest NJ Governor for Harboring Illegal Migrant at His Home

Border czar Tom Homan has threatened to arrest New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy after the Democrat suggested he was harboring an undocumented migrant in his $9million home.

The former head of ICE, who has been tasked by Donald Trump to oversee border control, said Murphy’s words were ‘foolish’ because he admitted to breaking the law.

‘It’s a foolish thing what he said, because I got note of it, won’t let it go, will look into it,’ Homan said on Fox News.

‘And if he’s knowingly harboring and concealing an illegal alien… I would seek prosecution or the secretary [of homeland security] would seek prosecution.

‘So maybe he’s bluffing. If he’s not, we’ll deal with that.’

Holman’s comment comes after Murphy implied he and his wife Tammy are assisting a person who could fall foul of President Trump’s illegal migrant crackdown.

‘I don’t want to get into too much detail, but there’s someone in our broader universe that… their immigration status is not yet to the point that they’re trying to get it to,’ he said.

‘We said, you know what, lets have her live at our house above our garage and good luck to the feds coming in who are trying to find her.’

While Murphy’s official residence is at the governor’s mansion in Trenton, he said the migrant was staying at his river-front mansion in Middletown.

The comment was met with silence from the crowd and sparked a wave of backlash once video of the discussion was posted on YouTube.

But on Tuesday a spokesperson for Murphy told NBC 10 the governor never actually invited the migrant to stay at his home and the person never moved in.

The spokesperson said Murphy was relaying a conversation he had with his wife, but the offer was never made.

During his controversial talk at the progressive forum, Murphy went on to compare the current situation in America to Nazi Germany.

‘I fear, I’m a former US Ambassador to Germany… The Germans in the 20s and 30s got tired.

‘They got sick of fighting, and look at the price we paid. We cannot roll over, we cannot stop fighting. We need intensity.’

In spite of the criticism toward Trump and his administration, Murphy said he is one of the ‘few Democrats that has a relationship with President Trump.’

He credited Trump and his team for being ‘indispensable’ during the first few months of the pandemic, adding: ‘We worked very closely together.’

Murphy has invited Trump to the grand opening of a roads project that the President greenlit during his first term.

‘We’re not going to sacrifice our values,’ he promised. ‘You fight like hell for values, for communities, for people, and you try to find common ground where you can.

‘There are things that have less ideology and I think they give you, in his eyes… you can probably buy some goodwill on the stuff you really care about.’

Murphy accepted it is not an easy feat that is ahead of him, and that it may not work as smoothly as it did the last time around.

‘The first 12 days are discouraging,’ he said.

ICE has deported about 8,000 immigrants since Trump returned to the White House two weeks ago.

Separately, US Border Patrol agents stopped 4,577 people attempting to enter the country illegally at the Mexico border – down 50 per cent from the week earlier.

Trump expanded arrest priorities to anyone in the country illegally, not just people with criminal convictions, public safety or national security threats and migrants stopped at the border. Still, some said it was business as usual for ICE — at least so far.
