Immigration Dispute: Wisconsin Governor Defies Federal Threats | JQJO

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers and President Trump's border czar, Thomas Homan, clashed over a memo advising state workers on interactions with federal immigration agents. Homan's comments were interpreted as threats of arrest for local officials, prompting Evers to defy what he called "chilling threats." The dispute highlights the ongoing conflict between the Trump administration and Democratic-led states regarding cooperation with ICE agents. Republicans urged Evers to rescind the memo, which instructed state workers to contact legal counsel if ICE agents visited their workplace.
