White House border czar Tom Homan will be in Rochester on Tuesday.
Homan said during a White House briefing Monday morning that he'll be in town to visit the Rochester Police Locust Club. His visit follows his public criticism of Rochester City Hall and its sanctuary city policy following a traffic stop last month by the U.S. Border Patrol. RPD Chief David Smith says RPD officers removed and handcuffed some of the people in the vehicle, which city leaders say is against the city's sanctuary policy.
