Homan asserted that their opposition stems from political\u2062 differences rather \u2063than genuine concerns for public safety. He emphasized \u2063the necessity of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dem-budget-bill-would-slash-border-protection-budget-by-half-billion-dollars\/\" title=\"Dem Budget Bill Would Slash Border Protection Budget by Half Billion Dollars\">enforcing immigration laws<\/a> to \u200bprotect lives,\u200c countering the notion that law enforcement is\u200c at fault when dealing wiht illegal immigrants involved\u200d in serious\u2063 crimes. Homan&#8217;s remarks followed a report of ICE arrests in Massachusetts, where individuals \u2063charged with crimes including child rape were detained despite\u200c <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">local law enforcement releasing<\/a> them. He criticized jurisdictions for not keeping criminal immigrants in custody, which complicates law enforcement efforts.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Tom Homan says he wears criticisms from Democrat mayors like &lsquo;a badge of honor&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<p>Border czar <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tom-homan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Tom Homan<\/a> claimed he is &ldquo;loving&rdquo; the criticisms from the Democratic mayors of <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/sanctuary-cities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">sanctuary cities<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Homan was mentioned during Wednesday&rsquo;s House Oversight Committee hearing as lawmakers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3338071\/house-oversight-hearing-mayors-boston-new-york-denver-chicago-illegal-immigration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">questioned mayors<\/a>, including New York City&rsquo;s Eric Adams, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston.&nbsp;Wu, in particular, said, &ldquo;Shame on&rdquo; Homan for allegedly lying about the safety of her city when he commemorates the arrests of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/170-new-sanctuary-locations-under-biden-harris-administration-a-40-surge-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"170 new sanctuary locations under Biden-Harris administration, a 40% surge - Washington Examiner\">criminal illegal migrants<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3337978\/vance-wants-trump-build-entire-border-wall-2029\/\">Vance wants Trump to &#8216;build the entire border wall&#8217; by 2029<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/immigration\/3338439\/chicago-landlords-pay-threaten-to-call-ice-tenants\/\">Chicago landlord must pay $80,000 for threatening to call ICE on tenants<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/immigration\/3337693\/vance-visits-us-mexico-border\/\">Vance to visit US-Mexico border in first trip as vice president<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;President Trump&rsquo;s saving lives, and they can&rsquo;t stand it because it&rsquo;s a political difference, it&rsquo;s not a realistic difference.
