President-elect Donald Trump has promised a mass deportation of illegal aliens once he returns to the White House. And now several 'blue' cities across the U.S. are finalizing plans to defy it.
According to NBC News, Democrat mayors and governors across the country have vowed that their law enforcement agencies will not assist the Trump administration in any capacity, putting measures in place to shield illegals and thwart the incoming administration’s efforts.
Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Chicago are some of the cities that have already passed ordinances and filed lawsuits against the Trump administration, even though they are not yet in office.
During a Thanksgiving gathering to feed Texas National Guard and DPS troops at Eagle Pass, incoming Border Czar, Tom Homan said it's "Game on", while adding a warning to the Democrat leaders, "Don't step over a line because there's a line they can't cross," Homan said. "Don't impede us, actively impede us, because that is a crime. Do not knowingly harbor and conceal an illegal alien from ICE because that's a crime."
Meanwhile, Trump has also fired back, saying that sanctuary cities that refuse to cooperate with the effort to get illegal aliens off the streets, will see federal funds stripped out of their budgets.
