Groups Blast Border Czar's Arrest Threat Against Governor as "Gross Overreach"

Tom Homan's aggressive comments directed at Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers prompted heated condemnation from advocacy groups, who described the remarks as a dangerous escalation in the Trump administration's efforts to undermine the rule of law. Evers had provided guidance for state officials on managing encounters with federal agents, which Homan suggested could result in his arrest. The groups, including the ACLU of Wisconsin, called this a gross overreach and a troubling warning about the normalization of fascistic behaviors in governance.

Tom Homan’s suggestion that Governor Evers could face arrest for guidance to state officials represents a serious threat to democracy and state autonomy.

Advocacy groups fear the rhetoric around Evers' directive is a dangerous escalation that threatens the foundations of democratic governance in the United States.
