Tom Homan rejected excuses, declaring that deporting all undocumented immigrants in Minnesota remains under consideration. He asserted that “prioritization does NOT mean they’re off the table,” warning policymakers and the public that allowing illegal entry without consequence sends the message “you can enter illegally and don’t worry about it!? You’re good to go?!” Homan argued such a message would derail efforts to resolve immigration challenges, saying, “If that’s the message we send, you will NEVER fix this problem!” His remarks emphasize strict enforcement and signal possible expanded removals in Minnesota pending policy and operational decisions and ongoing federal deliberations now.
