Message from Gov Evers in response to Tom Homan threat



MADISON - The White House border czar warned Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers over his guidance to state workers who encounter federal immigration officials on the job, suggesting the Democratic governor could face felony charges if the Trump administration believes their immigration efforts are impeded.

The comments came after Evers said his administration would not stop U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers from carrying out their deportation orders.

Tom Homan, known as President Donald Trump's "border czar," told reporters gathered at the White House to "wait to see what's coming" when asked about Evers' April memo to state workers directing them to seek legal counsel when ICE officers visit state facilities and not to turn over any documents or other items without an Evers administration attorney present.

I meant what I said, you can not support what we're doing, and you can support sanctuary cities if that's what you want to do, but if you cross that line to impediment or knowingly harboring and concealing an illegal alien, that's a felony and we're treating it as such," Homan told reporters May 1.
