Border Czar Tom Homan lit up Fox News in a hard-hitting interview with Laura Ingraham, confirming what many Minnesotans have been demanding for months: ICE is flooding into Minnesota, preparing to detain and deport Somali migrants tied to the state’s sprawling, multimillion-dollar fraud networks.
This comes after a string of damning revelations showing that Somali migrant groups in Minnesota looted public-aid programs, including assistance meant for autistic children and low-income families. Prosecutors say the fraudsters siphoned off hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars — and in some cases, funneled that stolen money straight to the foreign terrorist group Al-Shabab in Somalia.
During the interview, Homan made it clear: the days of looking the other way are over.
“Secretary Noem just elevated their priority status,” Homan said. “So yes — there’s going to be an increase of activity up there, and we’re going to hold people accountable. We’re going to enforce the law without apology.”
That was only the beginning. Homan used the segment to issue a direct warning to every sanctuary city in America — especially Democrat-run strongholds like Minneapolis and St. Paul.
“I told every sanctuary city, mayor, governor: stand aside and let us make your community safer,” he said. “We’re going to remove criminals, including legal aliens who make themselves deportable. We are enforcing the laws of this country — without apology and without hesitation — including in the Twin Cities.”
Ingraham pressed Homan on when Minnesotans should expect ICE to make its presence unmistakably known.
His answer didn’t offer precise dates — but the message was unmistakable.
“I can’t forecast that … I don’t want to give up operations,” he said. “But I can tell you Secretary Noem’s all over it. ICE, CBP, FBI, DEA, ATF — President Trump’s been a genius on this, bringing all parts of government into these operations.”
Homan then laid out how this “whole-of-government” approach works in practice, and why it’s a nightmare for criminal aliens.
“If we arrest an alien with drugs, the DEA is right there to prosecute before we deport them. If they’ve got a gun, ATF is right there to prosecute before we deport them,” he explained.
In other words: no more loopholes, no more slaps on the wrist, no more skating past the law because a progressive prosecutor doesn’t want to offend a political constituency. The days of Minnesota serving as a fraud haven are rapidly coming to an end.
Returning to the looming enforcement surge, Homan emphasized what every viewer wanted to hear:
“Focus is there. It’s coming. But I’m not giving exact numbers. I’ll leave that to the Secretary of Homeland Security. But the focus on those Twin Cities is increasing because of the criminal activity uncovered by DOJ and DHS.”
For the first time in years, Minnesotans — especially those sick of the political class covering for fraud and chaos — are seeing the federal government finally step in to clean up the mess.
And the criminal networks that believed Minnesota was their personal ATM?
Their time is up.
