Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, a Democrat, expressed his belief that "violent criminals" who are undocumented immigrants in the U.S. should be deported, emphasizing the need to address serious criminal offenses committed by noncitizens.

Tom Homan, who President-elect Donald Trump tapped as his incoming "border czar," has indicated he plans to deport millions of undocumented immigrants with or without the help of local officials. But one Democratic governor is now saying Homan may not have the "authority" to do so.
