Evers, Homan Clash Over Sanctuary Policy Crackdown

A dispute has escalated between Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers and Tom Homan, President Trump's border czar, after Evers issued a memo advising state employees to seek legal counsel and limit cooperation with federal immigration agents. Homan warned that state and local officials, including Evers, could face prosecution for obstructing federal immigration enforcement or harboring illegal immigrants, describing these acts as felonies. The controversy intensified after a Milwaukee judge was arrested for allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant evade ICE. Evers rejected Homan's remarks as threats and insisted he had not broken any laws, while Republican figures increased calls for the arrest of officials opposing federal immigration efforts. President Trump recently signed an executive order threatening to defund jurisdictions failing to comply with his immigration policies. The conflict highlights the ongoing national divide between the Trump administration and Democratic-led states over sanctuary policies and cooperation with ICE.
