Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, a Democrat, expressed his belief that "violent criminals" who are undocumented immigrants in the U.S. should be deported, emphasizing the need to address serious criminal offenses committed by noncitizens.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, who has defended the state’s “sanctuary” status for undocumented migrants, says he is willing to meet with President-elect Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan. Homan was in Chicago this week as a guest of the Law and Order PAC and Northwest Side GOP Club.

Tom Homan, who President-elect Donald Trump tapped as his incoming "border czar," has indicated he plans to deport millions of undocumented immigrants with or without the help of local officials. But one Democratic governor is now saying Homan may not have the "authority" to do so.
