Homan, who has been tasked by President Trump to deal with reinforcing border security and cracking down on unlawful immigration, vowed in Fox News' "Hannity" to "look into" the governor's comments. Murphy taunted the administration to come and "get" the sheltered migrant he suggested was staying in his home.
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy told a progressive group that he and his wife discussed hosting a migrant in their house. It sparked criticisms from conservative media and Republicans in the state. Harboring a migrant in the country illegally is a violation of federal law.
The New York Post reported that Murphy is now cleaning up his comments after heavy criticism and mockery aimed at him. A representative of Murphy said his comments have been "misinterpreted" because he was actually referring to a friend who is a legal resident and was worried about Trump’s second term. The representative added that "no one’s ever lived in the home” under the circumstances Murphy described.
