Warning of Violence Due to Rhetoric

  • ⚠️ Tom Homan, former Trump administration 'border czar,' warns that hateful rhetoric against ICE agents, comparing them to Nazis and terrorists, is leading to bloodshed.
  • 🎯 He states he has seen this pattern before and predicted that either a protester or an officer would be killed, which unfortunately happened.
  • 🗣️ Homan emphasizes that this violence will continue unless Democratic leadership stops the rhetoric.

Enforcing the Law

  • ⚖️ Homan clarifies that ICE and Border Patrol are simply enforcing laws enacted by Congress.
  • 🏛️ He criticulates members of Congress for calling law enforcement Nazis while they are enforcing laws that Congress itself wrote and funded.
  • 📌 The agency is tasked with removing individuals with final orders of deportation, a job they perform at great taxpayer expense.

Dangers Faced by Law Enforcement

  • 🛡️ The men and women of Border Patrol and ICE are described as mothers and fathers who do not leave their hearts at home when going to work.
  • 🚨 The dangerous nature of their job is exacerbated by the current anti-law enforcement rhetoric.
  • 👮 Homan expresses disbelief that groups feel it is acceptable to shoot at officers, whom he regards as part of the national police force.

Commitment to Enforcement

  • ✊ Homan asserts that antagonists will not stop ICE from doing its job of enforcing laws and securing the border.
  • 🇺🇸 He states that removing criminal aliens and public safety threats makes the country safer, fulfilling a promise made by President Trump.
  • 🤝 The agency will continue its work without apology, supported by President Trump and most of the American people.

Sanctuary Cities and Enforcement Strategy

  • 🚫 Homan criticizes mayors of sanctuary cities like New York, Chicago, and Portland for policies that hinder ICE operations and, in some cases, advocate for defunding the police.
  • 🚨 He announces a strategy to double down and triple down on sanctuary cities by increasing enforcement.
  • 🏘️ If arrests cannot be made in jails, agents will conduct community sweeps, work-site enforcement, and collateral arrests, leading to more agents in communities and more arrests of individuals in the country illegally.
