There is no chance this arresting a state governor, in the “States Rights are king” USA, will go wrong…
And Tom Homan in that appointment can’t actually arrest or issue any arrest orders.
That’s just silly theatrics. If a governor were individually and directly harbouring an illegal alien, that would absolutely meet the elements of the offence enumerated under Title 8 U.S. Code, section 1324. It would not, however, subject them to criminal liability for being in a political leadership role in states that have legislation or regulation wherein they won’t provide any assistance at state level to certain immigration enforcement.
If Mr. Homan wants to threaten governors with Offences pertaining to illegal aliens, he should be live to the fact that that same section, in subsection (a)(1)(A)(ii), establishes as an offence, “knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, transports, or moves or attempts to transport or move such alien within the United States by means of transportation or otherwise, in furtherance of such violation of law”. A subsequent section includes any conspiracy to that end. This hearkens back to at least one Governor who was compelling illegal migrants to get on planes and/or buses and sending them up to other states.
The applicable section of U.S. law is here: 8 U.S. Code § 1324 - Bringing in and harboring certain aliens
