Homan Warns Gov. Spanberger Against Blocking Virginia Police Cooperation With ICE

Border czar Tom Homan criticized Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger for her decision to block local police departments from cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in detaining illegal immigrants.

Spanberger should “take a page out of the Minnesota chapter we did when [the] president sent me to Minneapolis and get more cooperation with the county jailers, which means less public safety threats in the communities,” Homan said in an April 9 interview with Fox News.
