“I have not committed a crime”: Evers reacts to the comments from Border Czar | 1310 wiba

Madison (WKOW) – Governor Tony Evers indicates Wisconsinites after a federal representative threatened legal steps in relation to the guidance of the governor towards state employees, what to do if the federal immigration officers appear in a state building.

Last month, the administrative Ministry announced a memo in which the national workers consult a lawyer if federal agents appear with legal documents in state buildings. The Republicans criticized this as defiantly.

Tom Homan, the border of the White House, was asked about this guide on Thursday.

“Wait to see what's coming,” said Homan. “I said what I said – you cannot support what we do and you can support protective cities if you want to do this. If you cross these obstacles or knowingly accommodate and hide an illegal extraterrestrial alien, this is a crime, and we will treat it as such.”

On Friday, Evers replied to Homan's comments in a video message and described her as a “threat”.

“It should be important for every Wisconsinite and every American who takes care of this country and the values ​​we love”, of concern for every Wisconsinite and every American, “said Evers.” I did not broke the law. I have not committed a crime. And I have not encouraged or instructed anyone to break laws or commit crimes. “

Evers also said that he was not afraid of the acts of the Trump government and emphasized his commitment to his notice of office.

“I've never been discouraged to do the right thing and I won't start today,” said Evers. He assured Wisconsinites of his commitment to maintain the law and the constitution.

The situation shows the ongoing tensions between state and federal approaches to immigration policy.
