Trump-appointed immigration chief threatens legal action against Democrats hindering deportations.

Homan threatened legal action under Title 8, U.S. Code 1324, for harboring illegal immigrants. This move signals a tougher stance on immigration enforcement, potentially increasing ICE presence in communities that do not comply. The shift could impact ongoing legal battles over state-level immigration laws.
