Following a blog in which she mocked President Trump’s work history, Boston City Council part Sharon Durkan has since retweeted her fabricated criticism of his borders executioner, Tom Homan. According to Fox News, Durkan had questioned Homan’s credentials to make a statement about Boston’s public health, claiming that he had spent his entire job “policing a area smaller than a Fenway Park audience.”
The councilwoman wrote in her post,” Ridiculous that someone who spent their careers policing a area smaller than a Fenway Park audience thinks they can teach Boston public safety.” ” Commissioner Michael Cox earns respect with integrity and serves with difference.”
After mocking Homan’s short time as a police commander in West Carthage, New York, he “raised eyebrows,” according to Fox News, implying that because of that experience, he was unqualified to carry out President Donald Trump’s borders legislation in Boston. However, Homan’s time working in the small-town office only lasted from 1983 to 1984 before he joined the Border Patrol and finally rose up the ranks of the Obama and Trump services.
After acknowledging Homan’s extensive work history with Border Patrol and ICE, Durkan later clarified that” His background is in immigration enforcement, never community policing – where trust and accountability are important,” adding that” I understand that Tom Homan spent his career as a national representative within Border Patrol & ICE, but that’s a world away from the experiences of policing a big city.”
Homan made the initial criticism after making remarks about Boston’s sanctuary policies at the Conservative Political Action Conference ( CPAC ), specifically criticizing Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox. Homan cited instances of released criminal migrants, including child rapists, due to the city’s policies of not honoring ICE detainers. Homan claimed in his speech that he had just looked at the numbers the morning and had stopped when he discovered nine child rapists that Boston claimed had released back onto the streets.
” I’m coming to Boston, and I’m bringing hell with me”, Homan said at CPAC.
“You’re not a police commissioner”, Homan addressed Cox. ” Take that badge off your chest. Put it in the desk drawer. Because you became a politician. You forgot what it’s like to be a cop”.
Commissioner Cox has defended the city’s policy, claiming that the Boston Police Department complies with Massachusetts and Boston laws without requiring the enforcement of civil immigration detainers.
On a segment of WCVB’s” On the Record,” Cox remarked,” The Boston Police Department has pretty defined rules and we abide by the law here in the state. According to federal immigration law,” we don’t enforce civil detainers.” It’s defined here in the state, and that’s just how it works”.
Following several recent arrests of criminal immigrants, there has been more attention on immigration enforcement in Massachusetts. A violent criminal was finally removed from the streets of the city after one arrest, and someone was heard saying” thank you.”
