Tom Homan, the border czar appointed by former President Trump, recently made a bold statement in the city of Chicago, promising to kick off mass deportations in the area. Speaking at an event sponsored by a local law enforcement group, Homan received a warm reception from the crowd, despite Chicago not being known for its Republican leanings.
There has been growing frustration among Chicago residents over the influx of illegal aliens into their neighborhoods, as highlighted in various videos circulating online. This sentiment has created a demand for stricter immigration enforcement measures, a sentiment that Homan seems poised to address.

During his visit to Portage Park, Homan did not mince words as he criticized the city’s mayor and the Illinois governor for opposing his plans for mass deportations. The event, held in one of Chicago’s most conservative wards, was met with enthusiastic support from the crowd.
Homan, entrusted with executing President-elect Donald Trump’s tough stance on illegal immigration, reiterated his commitment to initiating mass deportations, stating, “All that starts January 21, and we’re going to start right here in Chicago, Illinois.”
Chicago GOP Chairman Chuck Hernandez expressed his approval, stating, “I love it. I love it. Bring it. People need to know that this is a country with laws, and we’re going to have order.”

Contrary to ABC News’ portrayal, the call for stricter immigration enforcement is not exclusive to Republicans. A recent Chicago city council meeting captured the frustration of residents:
