Homan predicted that his productive meeting with Adams would create a “domino effect” and that other mayors troubled by the increase in illegal border-crossings under President Biden would want to meet with him soon.

Homan told Hannity that he hoped Johnson, Pritzker and other sanctuary-city supporters would follow Adams’ lead.
“I wish the mayor of Chicago and the San Diego City Council and Governor Pritzker all the best – I want them all to take a page out of Mayor Eric Adams’ playbook, because he – former cop, coming out of it today – he really cares. It’s about public safety, and they’ve put politics aside,” Homan said.
