DHS Chief Noem Warns ‘Sanctuary City’ Leaders: ‘No One Is Above The Law’

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem delivered a daunting warning to mayors and other leaders of cities and communities that provide “sanctuary” to people in the country illegally: You could be subject to federal prosecution.

During a Friday appearance on “The Ingraham Angle,” Noem was asked whether the administration is ready to take action against officials who declare they will obstruct federal authority.

“Nobody’s above the law. Of course, we will. But that’s up to President Trump. President Trump gives us a direction. I don’t sit here and make up a decision on what I do. I follow the law,” Noem said.
“We treat everybody the same in this country now that we have President Trump in the White House, and he’s going to give us direction on how we’re going to go after these individuals,” she added.

Noem emphasized the importance of transparency, stating that it is crucial to inform the public about how their leaders may protect wrongdoers under the pretense of local ordinances.

“The reality is, these sanctuary cities, their laws have caused us problems. They are limiting some of our tools that we want in our toolbox, but we’re going to continue to go in and use our operations and then show in other cities how it’s working and tell our story to the American people,” Noem said. “The people in their community need to hear how their mayors, their elected officials, are protecting the criminals.”
