Border Patrol Union President Issues Warning to Democrats Planning to Defy Trump's Deportation Plans
Border Patrol Union President Paul Perez issued a warning to Democrat-run sanctuary cities that are planning to defy President-Elect Donald Trump‘s deportation efforts.
Perez said those who stand in the way will be ‘dealt with.’
His remarks come just a week after Trump’s “border czar” nominee, Tom Homan, warned Democrats they could face jail time if they disrupted deportation plans.
The message couldn’t be more clear.
The Washington Examiner reported:
National Border Patrol Council President Paul Perez warned Democratic officials against opposing the incoming Trump administration’s planned deportations, as President-elect Donald Trump is hiring “the best legal minds” who would enforce consequences.
Several state officials, including Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA), have been working in the wake of the 2024 election to deter the incoming administration’s deportations of illegal immigrants, prompting Trump “border czar” Tom Homan to warn them to “get out of the way.”
In response to the officials and sanctuary cities intending to work against the Trump administration, Perez argued they need to recognize that “federal law supersedes state law.”

“Anybody that’s going to get in the way is going to be dealt with, and so they need to take this incoming administration at its word because they are going to have some of the best legal minds working in the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security,” Perez said on Fox News’s America Reports, guest-hosted by Griff Jenkins and Julie Banderas.
“So it’s not something that they’re taking lightly. They’re going to do the job.”

Last month, Homan highlighted Title 8 to Democrats who believe they would get away with disruption deposition plans.
“I would suggest she read Title 8, United States Code 1324 (iii) that says you can’t harbour or conceal an illegal alien from federal law enforcement.”
“There are certain laws in place that they can’t cross, and I hope she doesn’t cross it,” Homan reiterated.
According to Title 8, United States Code 1324 (iii):
“makes it an offense for any person who — knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law — conceals harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or any means of transportation.”
