Tom Homan on Rising Violence Against ICE Agents and NYC Raids

Escalating Violence Against Law Enforcement

• ⚠️ Tom Homan expresses unprecedented concern over the rising violence and threats directed at ICE agents, stating he has never seen anything like it since starting in 1984.
• 🚨 He highlights that this rhetoric has led to real-world consequences, including the death of an agent attacking a border patrol facility and an officer being shot while people attacked an ICE detention facility.
• 🎯 Homan warns that the current rhetoric, if it doesn't stop, will lead to more agents being ambushed and killed, emphasizing the danger of revealing enforcement activities.

Prosecutions and Legal Accountability

• 📈 Prosecutions for impediment and interference with law enforcement have increased tenfold, reaching the highest numbers Homan has ever seen.
• ⚖️ He questions the accountability for those who criticize law enforcement for enforcing laws enacted by Congress and signed by the President.
• 🚫 Homan asserts that ICE will continue to do its job, enforcing the laws as written, and that there are consequences for illegal entry and other crimes.

New York City Raids and Criminal Aliens

• 🔍 The recent raids in New York City's Chinatown targeted individuals who were all deportable aliens, many with multiple criminal prosecutions beyond counterfeit goods.
• criminal histories included offenses like assault and leaving the scene of a crime.
• 🚫 Homan refutes the narrative that these individuals are victims, stating that approximately 70% of those arrested are criminals, and the remaining 30% are national security threats or fugitives who have evaded due process.

Combating Illegal Goods and National Security

• 💰 The sale of fake goods hurts American employers, manufacturers, and employees, and ICE is committed to enforcing laws against intellectual property theft.
• ⚠️ Homan points out that many national security threats do not have criminal histories, underscoring the broader risks associated with illegal immigration.
• 🌍 The message being sent globally is that illegal entry has consequences, and individuals who are ordered removed by a judge will be pursued.

Anti-ICE Tracker and DOJ Involvement

• 📱 A new tool called an "anti-ICE tracker" has emerged, which appears to be an app designed to thwart ICE operations and facilitate resistance movements.

• 🙏 Homan expresses his nightly prayers for the safety of ICE and Border Patrol agents, emphasizing the critical need for this dangerous trend to stop.
