Tom Homan Annihilates MSDNC’s Smears, Lies on Border Security
The White House highlighted Border Czar Tom Homan’s interview on “Morning Joe”, where he pushed back against media criticism of the Trump Administration’s border policies.
Key Points:
- 70% of ICE arrests involve criminals, national security threats, or gang members. Data show that 35.7% had criminal convictions, 30.5% had pending charges, and nearly 70% of deportations involved individuals with criminal histories.
- Not racial profiling. Homan stressed that the Supreme Court upholds ICE’s authority under the Immigration and Nationality Act to question suspected illegal immigrants, calling such encounters “well-settled law.”
- High-profile case rebuttal. He countered claims about Narciso Barranco, saying the man resisted identification, disobeyed commands, and assaulted officers with a weed whacker before fleeing.
- Assaults on ICE agents rising. Homan condemned accusations of ICE “disappearing” people, noting a 1,000% surge in assaults on ICE agents, which the administration blames on inflammatory rhetoric from Democrats.
The article framed Homan’s comments as proof that opponents distort facts on border security, while the Trump Administration is committed to law, order, and public safety.
