Tom Homan, President-elect Donald Trump's incoming "border czar," paid a visit to Chicago on Monday to deliver a no-holds-barred, bottom-line message to Windy City residents about his plans to mass-deport illegal aliens from their troubled city.
In other words, Tom Homan went full-metal Tom Homan. Again.
When Homan took the stage in one of Chicago's most conservative wards, he minced zero words:
"Your mayor s**** and your governor s****!" in reference to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (who makes even former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot look good) and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker.

Homan's strong message was met with raucous applause.
The man charged with executing Trump's pledge to end the Biden-Harris administration's intentionally caused illegal alien crisis repeated his plan for mass deportations in no uncertain terms.
All that starts January 21, and we're going to start right here in Chicago, Illinois. If the Chicago mayor doesn't want to help, step aside. But if he impedes us, harbors or conceals illegal aliens, I will prosecute him.
Johnson has repeatedly vowed to protect the city's so-called "sanctuary status" and the illegal aliens that it has drawn in droves. Johnson has also ironically blasted Trump as "a threat to everything sensible." The idiotic statement is unworthy of analysis.
Homan continued to slam Johnson.
"Because of his actions, we’re going to be arresting a hell of a lot more people than our priorities,” said Homan, telling Johnson and other Democratic officials to “get the hell out of the way.” He added that he’d sue sanctuary cities that don’t cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
More:
Currently, the city and state have many protections in place to guard against federal deportation efforts. ICE agents aren’t granted access to undocumented detainees inside Cook County Jail and Cook County officials are not required to notify federal authorities when undocumented detainees are in local custody. Illinois state law also prohibits renting jail beds to ICE.
Yet Homan remained committed to a heavy-handed crackdown on immigration in Chicago, saying he’d start with “the bad guys” who commit crimes and then “the others” around them.
“I don’t want to talk to victims. I want to talk to the guys they locked up,” said Homan.
Trump has voiced his full support of Homan — who is not subject to Senate approval — to find ways to execute the “largest domestic deportation operation in American history.”
How can you not love this guy? Rhetorical question for conservatives, while left-wingers continue to lose their minds over Homan and the coming deportation.

I said at the top that I have mixed emotions with respect to children who had no choice to cross the border, but Homan's take is right: "If you come in the country and have a child, that's on you. You can either take the child with you, but that's on you."
And in the case of Chicago, as Tom Homan suggested on Monday night, if Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker or Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson get in his way, then that's on them.
