Tom Homan on Migrant Shootings and Border Security Failures

Shooting of CBP Officer

• 🏥 The CBP officer shot is in critical condition, heavily sedated to manage swelling before potential surgery.
• 💔 His family and friends are in shock, with his mother and a friend present during the attack.
• ⚠️ The incident is highlighted as another example of illegal aliens attacking citizens and law enforcement, similar to events in Times Square.

Border Security and Release Policies

• 🛂 The shooter illegally entered the U.S. in 2023 and had an active deportation order but was released on his own recognizance.
• 📈 Both the shooter and his accomplice entered under the Biden administration and were released without proper vetting, leading to 10.5 million people entering the U.S.
• ⚖️ The law clearly states that illegal entrants without proper documentation shall be detained, a policy enforced under President Trump by ending "catch and release."

Criminal Alien Policies and Sanctuary Laws

• 🚨 The shooter had prior arrests for robbery and stabbing in New York City and Massachusetts, yet was released.
• 🏛️ Governor Hochul is criticized for supporting bail reform laws that allow individuals to be released from custody.
• 🚫 The NYPD is restricted from working with ICE due to sanctuary laws, which also prevented ICE from having arrangements to detain individuals at Rikers Island.
• 🏙️ The city council is blamed for creating sanctuary city laws and blocking efforts to detain criminal aliens, prioritizing these laws over community safety.
