Tom Homan on MS-13 Crackdown, Sanctuary Cities, and Border Security

MS-13 Crackdown in New York City

• 🚨 MS-13 members were indicted as a result of collaboration between ICE and state/local law enforcement in New York City.
• 💡 The operation utilized the RICO statute for underlying offenses including sex trafficking, gun trafficking, drug trafficking, and murder for hire.
• 👏 Mayor Adams is commended for cooperating with ICE, leading to the rescue of victims and the apprehension of criminals.

Sanctuary Cities and Lawsuits

• ⚠️ The New York City Council is criticized for filing a lawsuit to shut down a memorandum of understanding that would allow ICE access to Rikers Island.
• 🚫 This action is seen as an attempt to lock out ICE from housing MS-13 and other gang members, hindering their ability to take custody of them before they are released onto the streets.
• 🗣️ Homan asserts that sanctuary cities are for criminals and that collaboration is essential for public safety.

Deportation of Designated Terrorist

• 🇺🇸 An MS-13 gang member, designated terrorist, and public safety threat has been removed from the United States and is now 'home' in El Salvador.
• ⚖️ This individual had been ordered removed by two separate immigration judges and had received due process.
• 🇸🇻 The country of El Salvador is now considered safer, and the speaker questions the ability of courts to compel a sovereign nation to accept a citizen back into custody.

Border Security and Administration's Actions

• 📈 Homan contrasts the current situation with the Trump administration's border security efforts, claiming the border was secured in seven weeks.
• 💔 He highlights the deaths of over 4,000 illegal aliens making the journey to the U.S. under the Biden administration, questioning the humanity of the current approach.
• 📉 The construction of border barriers is credited with reducing illegal immigration and drug flow, saving lives by preventing dangerous crossings.
• 🚫 Despite court challenges, Homan states that operations to arrest and remove public safety threats will continue 24/7.
