Trump’s border czar threatens to 'seek prosecution' against N.J. governor after he floats housing migrant in his garage Governor Phil Murphy’s office has walked back Democrat’s comments about housing migrant.
“Well, I think the governor is pretty foolish saying what he said because I’ve gotten hold of it, won’t let it go, we’re looking into it, and if he’s knowingly harboring and concealing an illegal alien, that’s a violation,” Homan told Fox News on Monday.
Last month, Trump signed executive orders directing federal prosecutors to investigate and potentially bring charges against state and local officials who don’t assist in the administration’s campaign of mass deportations.
The threat comes after Murphy said during a forum over the weekend at Montclair State University with a progressive group that he’d toyed with the idea of housing a migrant himself.
“If your Chicago mayor doesn’t want to help, he can step aside,” Homan reportedly told a local Republican club.
