# Homan Drops Truth Bomb: Minnesota’s Sanctuary Status Makes It Ground Zero for Trump’s Deportation Surge
In a no-holds-barred segment on Fox News’ *America’s Newsroom* Tuesday, White House border czar Tom Homan laid out why the Trump administration is zeroing in on Minnesota—specifically Minneapolis—like a heat-seeking missile. We’re in Minnesota because it’s a sanctuary state, Homan declared, spotlighting how the state’s progressive policies have turned it into a magnet for illegal immigrants, including violent Venezuelan gangs like Tren de Aragua. This isn’t random; it’s strategic. Minnesota’s refusal to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement has allowed criminal networks to fester, with recent raids nabbing dozens of illegals tied to everything from assaults to child exploitation. Homan’s message? Sanctuary states aren’t safe havens—they’re breeding grounds for chaos, and Trump’s team is coming in hot to clean house.
For the 2A community, this hits harder than a .308 recoil. Sanctuary jurisdictions don’t just shield illegal aliens; they erode the rule of law that underpins our Second Amendment rights. Picture this: Venezuelan gangbangers, many with MS-13 tattoos and zero regard for borders, flooding Minneapolis streets—armed, unchecked, and operating in a state where local cops are handcuffed by sanctuary edicts. Data from the Department of Homeland Security backs it: over 400 Tren de Aragua members have been arrested nationwide since 2022, with Minnesota emerging as a hotspot due to lax enforcement. When self-defense becomes a daily gamble against unvetted thugs who bypass background checks entirely, law-abiding gun owners bear the brunt. Homan’s focus signals a broader Trump playbook—restore federal authority, deport the bad actors, and indirectly safeguard the communities where 2A protections matter most.
The implications? A win for immigration hawks is a win for armed citizens. As deportations ramp up, expect blue-city crime stats to plummet, validating the 2A ethos that a well-regulated militia (that’s you and me) steps up when government fails. Minnesota’s wakeup call could ripple nationwide, pressuring other sanctuary holdouts like California and New York to rethink their open-door insanity. Pro-2A patriots, stay vigilant: stock your mags, support the mission, and watch as Homan turns sanctuary into sanctuary from crime. This is Trump 2.0 delivering on promises—border security today means safer ranges tomorrow.
