In a jaw-dropping poll that’s set the nation on fire, a wave of Americans are rallying behind Trump’s border czar Tom Homan’s explosive vow to arrest Democrat mayors who dare to block mass deportations! 😱 A recent Reddit poll on r/DonaldTrumpNewss, with 82 votes, showed 78% backing Homan’s hardline stance, igniting a social media storm on Threads and X. “Lock up these traitor mayors!” one user roared, as #ArrestSanctuaryMayors trends with fiery memes of Homan as a law-and-order sheriff. Is this the ultimate showdown to secure America’s borders, or a dangerous power grab? The internet is erupting, and you won’t believe the heated reactions flooding online!
Homan, tapped by President-elect Donald Trump as border czar, has unleashed a firestorm with his threats to jail mayors like Denver’s Mike Johnston and Chicago’s Brandon Johnson for shielding undocumented immigrants. In a November 2024 Fox News interview, Homan declared, “If you impede us, it’s a felony—get the hell out of the way!” His plan, backed by Trump’s promise of the largest deportation operation in U.S. history, targets sanctuary cities that refuse to cooperate with ICE. A New York Times/Ipsos poll from January 2025 found 55% of Americans support mass deportations, giving Homan’s threats mainstream fuel. Supporters on X are ecstatic, posting, “Homan’s cleaning house—about time!” with viral clips of his “shock and awe” promise on Trump Jr.’s podcast.
The controversy exploded when Homan targeted Denver’s Johnston, who vowed to resist deportations, even comparing his stance to Tiananmen Square. Homan shot back on Fox News, saying, “He’s willing to go to jail? I’m willing to put him there!” Threads lit up with posts like, “Mayors protecting criminals deserve handcuffs!” alongside memes of Homan dragging mayors to jail. The hashtag #HomanForHero surged, with users claiming sanctuary policies let “rapists and murderers” roam free, citing a 2023 FAIR report estimating illegal immigration costs taxpayers $150 billion annually. One viral post screamed, “Homan’s gonna make mayors cry!”—a claim that, while unverified, fueled the frenzy.
But critics are sounding alarms, calling Homan’s threats a chilling attack on local governance. They argue sanctuary cities protect communities by fostering trust with police, pointing to a 2021 Urban Institute study showing immigrants in sanctuary cities are less likely to be arrested for minor crimes. “Homan’s turning mayors into political prisoners!” one Threads user raged, sharing a chart of immigrant tax contributions—$13 billion annually, per a 2021 Immigration Research Initiative study. The hashtag #StopHoman trended as opponents accused him of overreach, with one post claiming, “He’s weaponizing ICE to crush dissent!” Legal experts warn that arresting mayors under Title 8 U.S.C. 1324 for “harboring” immigrants could face court challenges, as it’s rarely been used against elected officials.
Homan’s supporters aren’t fazed. They point to his 30-year career at ICE, including record deportations under Obama—432,000 in 2013 alone—and argue he’s just enforcing the law. On X, posts like “Homan’s a patriot—mayors are the real criminals!” gained thousands of likes, with users sharing unverified stories of crimes by undocumented immigrants, like the Laken Riley case, to justify his plan. Homan’s February 2025 clash with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, where he accused her of “impeding” ICE by educating immigrants on their rights, only added fuel. “AOC’s next on his list!” one user crowed, sparking a wave of “MAGA” cheers.
Opponents counter that Homan’s rhetoric is dangerously inflammatory. They cite his ties to controversial groups, like a 2022 event with the United West, labeled an anti-Muslim hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, to question his motives. Threads users shared stories of families fearing ICE raids, with one post reading, “Homan’s tearing apart communities for political points!” A 2024 ACLU report warned that mass deportations could cost $315 billion and disrupt industries like agriculture, where undocumented workers make up 40% of the labor force. Progressives argue Homan’s focus on “public safety threats” is a pretext, as he’s said “everyone here illegally is on the table.”
The political fallout is seismic. Trump’s team, including incoming Attorney General Pam Bondi, is reportedly ready to back Homan’s arrests with felony charges. Polls show mixed feelings: a 2025 Axios/Ipsos survey found 66% support deporting criminals, but only 40% back targeting non-criminals. Sanctuary mayors like Boston’s Michelle Wu and L.A.’s Karen Bass face pressure, with Homan warning they’ll face “consequences” for defiance., Threads is a battlefield, with #ArrestThemNow clashing with #ProtectSanctuaryCities. One viral meme showed Homan as a superhero, captioned, “Saving America, one mayor at a time!” while critics countered with images of crying families at ICE raids.
This clash is reshaping the nation. Is Homan’s plan a bold stand for law and order, or a tyrannical overreach? With ICE raids set to ramp up and daily lawsuits looming, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Click to see the poll that’s got everyone losing their minds!
