    Homan also promised “consequences” for anyone who tried to conceal undocumented immigrants

    This sounds really familiar but for the Amsterdam life of me, I can’t figure out why.

    A lot of people have advocated for a strong federal government, and against states rights, because they thought states rights only meant slavery, or regressive gun laws. They didn’t consider that states rights can also mean providing sanctuary to migrants, or protecting womens’ access to reproductive medical services. They also didn’t consider what could happen if the strong federal government gets taken over by people who are aggressively hostile to them, otherwise they would have done more to prevent it from happening.

    Terrifying…

    “They don’t have to help us, but they need to get the hell out of the way cuz we’re comin’, we’re gonna do it. Which means if I gotta send twice as many resources to that sanctuary city, twice as many agents, that’s exactly what I’m going to do,” Homan said.

    “And I’ve been saying for the last several days that they need to study the law,” he said. “They can not help, but don’t impede us, and don’t cross certain lines.”

    Homan also promised “consequences” for anyone who tried to conceal undocumented immigrants, and said that the government’s efforts to round up human beings for detainment and deportation would begin with “the worst of the worst first.”
