On Monday, Governor of New Jersey Phil Murphy admitted during an interview with a progressive group that he is concealing an illegal alien at his home.
“Good luck to the feds coming in to try to get her,” he challenged.

Sounds like a job for Tom Homan.

Unfortunately for Gov. Murphy… Tom Homan is up for the challenge.
When asked by Sean Hannity about the Governor’s admission, Homan vowed to investigate and “seek prosecution” if he really is harboring an illegal alien.

"If he's knowingly harboring and concealing an illegal alien, that's a violation of Title 8, U.S.C. 1324. I will seek prosecution."

JUST IN: Border Czar Tom Homan says he plans on going after NJ Governor Phil Murphy who taunted the Trump admin when he revealed that he was housing an illegal immigrant.
Murphy: We are housing an illegal above our garage. Good luck to the Feds who will try to get her.

The Daily Wire has a partial transcript:
“Let me read a headline to you: ‘Chicago leaders encourage residents to exercise their rights in resisting Trump’s deportation policies.’ The governor of New Jersey, Phil Murphy, basically admitted he knew somebody that didn’t have full documentation that he was hiding over his garage. Your comment on all of that?” Fox news host Sean Hannity asked Homan.
“I think the governor is pretty foolish … I got note of it. Won’t let it go. We’ll look into it. And if he’s knowingly, knowingly harboring, concealing an illegal alien, that’s a violation of Title VIII, United States Code 1324. I would seek prosecution or the Secretary would seek prosecution,” Homan answered.
“So maybe he’s bluffing; maybe he’s not; we’ll deal with that,” he continued., then turned to sanctuary cities. “And as far as suing sanctuary cities, well, get in line, because the Trump administration’s going to do that already. Sanctuary cities are sanctuaries for criminals. With one example, sanctuary cities in New York City. If they would have gave (sic) us over the killer of Laken Riley when he got arrested in New York City for endangering a child, he would have been in jail and he would never have killed Laken Riley. Sanctuary cities are responsible for deaths of thousands, thousands of young children throughout my career. And we’re going to sue ‘em. … Look, we’ve got the Supreme Court; that’s what President Trump wanted to do. He will end sanctuary cities.”
Bet Gov. Murphy didn’t expect that!
Tom Homan is not messing around.
The New York Post reported on Gov. Murphy’s original comments:
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy revealed he is housing a immigrant at his home and dared the Trump administration to do something about it.
ADVERTISEMENTMurphy made the admission during an interview this past weekend with Blue Wave New Jersey, a progressive grassroots organization.
“Tammy [Murphy] and I were talking about – I don’t want to get into too much detail, but there is someone in our broader universe whose immigration status is not yet at the point that they are trying to get it to. And we said, you know what? Let’s have her live at our house above our garage,” the Democrat governor said.
“And good luck to the feds coming in to try to get her,” Murphy added, seemingly hinting that the person may be an illegal immigrant. Fox News Digital reached out to Murphy’s office for more information, but they did not immediately respond.
The revelation comes as US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been conducting operations in New Jersey, most notably with a raid in Newark in late January.
We’ll see how long he continues to brag about hiding criminals in his home once things get real and it’s his skin on the line…
