President Donald Trump’s Border Czar, Tom Homan, told Fox News that ICE has already arrested 308 criminal illegal aliens in the past 24 hours.
LAWRENCE B. JONES: Let’s talk about ice visiting folks because when I look at it, I look at the law, people that have final deportation orders, people that are criminal aliens. What would a person have to do to get a visit from ICE?HOMAN: Be in the country illegally, first of all. I mean, there’s nothing in the immigration law that says you got to be convicted of a serious crime to be removed under the law. So if you’re in the country illegally, ICE can visit you.But right now, as we said repeatedly, in the present, Trump’s been clear, we’re concentrating on the worst. First, the public safety threats and NASA security threats.And just yesterday, in the last 24 hours, ICE arrested over 308 serious criminals. Some of them were murderers. Some of them were rapists. Some of them raped a child, some were sexual assault of a child.So ICE is doing their job. They’re prioritizing just as the president said they would. So ICE is performing excellent right now out in the field, and they’re going to continue every day.
Homan also had harsh words for the sanctuary cities and those trying to interfere. From Fox News:
“We’re just trying to help public safety in your community,” Homan told Lawrence Jones during “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday.”Help, work with us because you’ve forced us in the community. Here’s what’s going to happen. We’ll find the bad guy, but when we find him, he’s going to be with others, others that may not be a criminal priority. But guess what? If they’re in the United States illegally, they’re going to be arrested, too.””Sanctuary cities are going to get exactly what they don’t want, more agents in the communities, more people arrested, more collaterals arrested. So that’s a game they want to play? Game on,” he continued.
Homan then called out Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes who said she would push back and not work the Trump administration to weed out illegal aliens. I guess that even means the criminals:
Homan called her remarks “insulting” and a misrepresentation of the truth.”We said right out of the gate, Lawrence… we’re going to concentrate on public safety,” he shot back. “So she’s saying that she doesn’t want public safety threats out of the community? I also am insulted by the term concentration camps. Are you serious?””We just lost a Border Patrol agent to a shooting up in Vermont yesterday, and they’re the Gestapo? Are you serious? Concentration camps? ICE has detention centers. They have the best standards in the entire industry,” he continued. “I’ll compare ICE detention standards in any state or federal facility or any county facility in the entire world. We got the highest detention standards, so that’s an insult, and it’s a lie.”
Homan added:
“I want to save lives. Secure border saves lives,” Homan said. “When President Trump locks this border down, less women and children will be sex trafficked in this country, less aliens would die making that journey. Under President Biden, we’ve had a record number of people die crossing that border [and a] 600% increase in sex trafficking.””You can’t have strong national security if you don’t have border security,” he continued. “So we need to know who’s coming in, what’s coming in, where it’s coming and why is coming in. So, again, President Trump [is a] game-changer. [He] already made a significant difference on that border. This country’s already strong because of President Trump.”
