The Molière Citations team is pleased to announce this combination award celebrating Tom Homan and citing an amorphous group of disruptive State and local officials who have pledged to interfere with legitimate immigration enforcement operations.
As we approach the end of the interregnum, we celebrate Tom Homan, the incoming (and we mean that in both senses of the word) head of ICE, means business in his quest to enforce immigration laws, starting with the most egregious and violent offenders.
” President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming border czar has a message for any individual or jurisdiction that directly impedes the work of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent: prepare to face the consequences.”
The Molière Citation goes jointly to the numerous Democrat Governors and Mayors who are doubling down on disrupting the lawful deportation of those who are here in violation of the laws of the United States.
At least some of them appear to be in agreement with Homan on one issue: they say they are willing to go to jail for numerous unlawful acts of interference with ICE — and Homan says he is willing to place them in custody.
If this is part of “Build Back Better” by Democrats in sanctuary jurisdictions, at least there are signs that the very constituents who voted them in have gotten wise to the fact that their “leaders” are misdirecting valuable resources from their own communities to people who are here in violation of our immigration laws.
A couple of generations ago, this kind of “leadership” brought a mind bending concept to Viet Nam, resulting in the explanation that “We had to destroy the village to save it.”
We encourage ICE designee Tom Homan in discharging his responsibility by pursuing the deportation of the most violent and egregious offenders first, cleaning up the backlog of immigration courts, apprehending “gotaways” and getting them before the courts, tending to the safety and needs of the reported missing 300,000* (not a typo) children, and bringing some semblance of order to the horrible mess created by DHS head Mayorkas the prevaricator (see our earlier Molière Citation to him).

While the core group of Double Down Deportation Disruptors doesn’t appear to be growing, there are some egregious examples who have earned the opprobrium of the Molière Citation by announcing that they will actively interfere with the legitimate operations of ICE or otherwise resist on behalf of the miscreants (and against the interests of their own citizens), and who insist that they will take the consequences for supporting lawless behavior:
Governors: NY, Illinois, California, Massachusetts, Oregon, Washington
Mayors: Chicago, Denver*, San Francisco, San Diego*, Portland, Seattle*, Boston
Note that this list is subject to updating (probably shrinking) at any time, based on the persistence of wrong-headedness of the office holders.
Anyone in doubt as to the bona fides and political manipulation involved in this developing situation is welcome to review this recorded exchange in a recent Congressional hearing:

*King County (Seattle, WA) will not contribute resources to transport or deport per appeals case. “U.S. District Judge Robert J. Bryan agreed, and Constantine issued a new executive order superseding his old one early last year. The new order, which was not challenged, does not purport to block deportation flights but instead prevents King County resources from aiding in the deportations beyond what federal law requires.” https://www.knkx.org/transportation/2024-12-03/deportation-fights-to-continue-seattle-airport-after-federal-court-ruling
