Tom Homan: DUIs and Illegal Immigration Pose Public Safety Threats

ICE Arrests and Public Safety

• 🎯 70% of individuals arrested by ICE are criminals, countering media claims that arrests primarily target non-criminals.
• 💡 Even DUIs are considered a public safety threat by ICE, as they result in over 10,000 deaths annually.
• ⚠️ Not all illegal immigrants are public safety threats, but many pose significant risks when they are deported, making cities safer.

National Security and Criminality

• ⚡ The remaining 30% of ICE arrests include national security threats, many of whom avoid criminal history by staying under the radar.
• ⛓️ Gang members are also apprehended, with some lacking prior criminal records.
• ⚖️ ICE also targets individuals with final deportation orders who have ignored federal judges' rulings after due process.

Border Security and Consequences

• 🚀 The current secure border is attributed to the work of Border Patrol, executive orders like Remain in Mexico, and ending catch-and-release policies.
• 🌍 A message is being sent globally that illegal entry into the U.S. is a crime and ignoring deportation orders will have consequences.
• 📈 ICE operations nationwide are designed to deter illegal immigration and reinforce the message that there are consequences for violating U.S. law.
