The border czar of President-elect Donald Trump has a "clear message" for sanctuary cities: either align with the incoming administration's tougher border stance or face consequences.

This week, Tom Homan, the former acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement director, appeared on "Sunday Morning Futures" and discussed the incoming administration's plan to reduce illegal migrant crime and enhance safety in communities across the U.S., despite opposition from blue cities.

"San Diego is drafting legislation, while Colorado and other states and cities are threatening to prevent us from doing what I'm doing. I want to make it clear that if we are allowed in the jail, we can safely arrest the criminal. One officer can do this, but when we release a public safety threat back into the community, we put the community at risk. We put our officers at risk, and we put the alien at risk," he said to host Maria Bartiromo.

If you release the man in the community, I will send a team to search for him. When we find him, there may be others who are not a priority. However, if they are in the country illegally, they will be arrested as well. As an immigration officer, we have a duty to uphold the law, so we cannot turn our backs on an illegal immigrant. This means that we will be forced to arrest other non-priority aliens in large numbers, which will put a strain on our resources.

"It's safer for everyone if we put them in jail, which is the opposite of what you want."

Homan, a critic of Biden's border policies, has pledged to strengthen security and carry out mass deportations, echoing Trump's rhetoric.

Boston's city council and other officials are fighting back against Trump's mass deportation plan in different ways.

While New York City Mayor Eric Adams has expressed his willingness to sit down with Homan to discuss ways to make the streets of the Big Apple safer for all.

Mayor Adams is scheduled to meet with Homan on Thursday. Homan stated, "I am not surprised that Mayor Adams is attending the meeting because his top priority is the safety of his communities. I am shocked that other mayors and governors are putting up obstacles. I cannot fathom why any elected official would not want to remove public safety threats from their communities. We will accomplish this task with or without their cooperation."
