President Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, has made it clear that having U.S.-born children does not grant undocumented immigrants automatic immunity from deportation. In a recent statement, Homan emphasized that while the presence of citizen children may be considered during immigration proceedings, it does not override violations of immigration law. During an interview on CBS News’ Face the Nation, Tom Homan reiterated that having a U.S. citizen child does not make undocumented immigrants "immune from our laws." “Having a U.S. citizen child after you enter this country illegally is not a get-out-of-jail-free card,” he said. “American families get separated...

“Average day under Joe Biden, more than 1,800 got-aways. Yesterday, 38,” he said. “Thirty-eight too many? We’ll get that to zero, but we went from 1,800 to 38.” “From January 20 to April 1 last year, 184,000 were released under Biden. Under this administration, nine,” Homan explained, adding that of those nine, four were material witnesses in criminal trials, four had extreme medical emergencies, and one was a humanitarian case.

The Biden administration released millions of illegal immigrants into the U.S. interior “on purpose,” Tom Homan, President Donald Trump’s border czar, said during a press conference Monday morning. “And as far as releasing so many people — you know why the Biden administration released millions of people United States?” Homan asked. “No one ever talks about, I’ll talk about it.” “Why did they release people into the interior United States rather than put them into an ICE bed? Why not put them in an empty ICE bed, $127 a night, rather than a hotel at 500 bucks a night?” Homan...

🚨🔥Holy Smokes: Tom Homan just absolutely obliterated ABC’s Jon Karl over “concern" for Abrego-Garcia: "What bothers me more than that is a U.S. Senator travels on our taxpayer dime to meet with a MS13 gang member." "What concerns me is Van Hollen never went to the border last four years, when Joe Biden had a 600% increase in s*x trafficking of women and children." "What shocks me is he's remained silent about the travesty that happened our southern border — many people died." 🔥🔥🔥 This is EXACTLY the contrast that needs to be drawn.
