Homan is a no-nonsense kind of guy. He doesn’t want to waste time when fixing problems.
And Tom Homan put pressure on the Trump admin with this rant on Fox News.
On Tuesday night, viewers tuning into the Ingraham Angle on Fox News witnessed an exchange that cuts to the heart of America’s immigration enforcement crisis.
Border Czar Tom Homan didn’t mince words as he laid bare the failures plaguing efforts to remove criminal illegal aliens from our soil.
He pointed out that current measures against those who interfere with ICE operations fall woefully short of what’s needed to maintain order.
Homan stated that “we’re not doing enough” to charge individuals interferring with ICE officers, and “There needs to be zero tolerance on anybody impeding a law enforcement officer. We need DOJ to really step up on this and to focus on this, because we’ve got to send a message.”
Host Laura Ingraham drove the point home by questioning whether federal authorities are truly committed to holding these disruptors accountable.
“Do you think, right now, we are doing enough to arrest and prosecute those who are impeding ICE? Because they think they have the playbook down pat, Tom. They do what they did in Minnesota, and, eventually, ICE will pull back. They make a scene, and, eventually, the deportations will slow, at least a little bit. To me, these people have to do real time or this is going to continue.” she asked pointedly.
Homan backed her up completely, agreeing that the soft touch has only encouraged more boldness from the obstructionists.
“You’re right. And, no, we’re not doing enough. There needs to be zero tolerance on anybody impeding a law enforcement officer. We need DOJ to really step up on this and to focus on this, because we’ve got to send a message,” he answered.
“When they start seeing consequences, when they start going to prison for doing stuff like that, because not only are they putting the ICE officer’s life in danger, they’re putting the community in danger, because the child r*pist that we couldn’t arrest for a month later, how many little kids did he r*pe in that month that he was walking around?”
This tough stance comes at a critical time when American communities are bearing the brunt of unchecked illegal immigration.
Our law enforcement heroes in ICE face daily threats not just from the criminals they hunt, but from activist mobs who treat border security like some kind of political game.
Every obstruction puts officers’ lives at risk, turning routine operations into potential battlegrounds.
But the real victims are the everyday Americans whose safety is compromised when dangerous predators slip through the cracks.
Consider the horror of a child r*pist remaining at large for an extra month simply because some protesters forced ICE to back off.
Homan’s warning exposes the deadly consequences of this leniency, where political theater endangers our most vulnerable citizens.
It’s high time the Department of Justice treats interference with federal officers as the felony it truly is and starts handing out serious prison sentences.
