Borderland Border Area Tom Homan on Tuesday denounced a “radical” Obama-appointed judge who claimed “the Nazis received better treatment” after the Trump administration pushed the alleged score of Venezuela's Tren Aragua Gangbangers from the United States.
“We follow all the procedures of the alien enemy law. They need to read the act. We did the right thing,” Homan told Fox & Friends after the Trump administration was criticised for its massive deportation.
“They [Tren de Aragua] It is a designated terrorist organization and I am tired of these radical judges. Why don't they talk to Laken Riley's family? He added, referring to a 22-year-old Georgia nursing student who was killed by illegal immigrants in Venezuela last year.
“We keep President Trump's promises and we're going to arrest all of these people,” Homan continued.
“We're going to do this every day in this country 24/7 without apologizing. We'll continue to do what we're doing.”
His response comes after Judge Patricia Millett, who had been on the bench since 2013, made a Nazi comparison when he grilled Justice Department lawyers on Monday to banish members of the Venezuelan gang who were trying to lift a temporary block to the use of the 1798 law.
During the hearing, Millett blows up Trump's use of massive wartime acts.
“There were a lot of people. There were no steps to notify people,” Millett said at one point. “The Nazis received better treatment under the alien enemy laws. [during World War II] More than what happened here.”
However, Homan argued that all deported people have some connections with the infamous gang. It noted that the “highest level of ice” was based on decisions regarding the time of the investigation and witness statement.
“They put a lot of effort into this and I have been guaranteed that all of those Venezuelans are members of the TDA,” Homan said.
Alien enemy laws are rarely used in US history. It was recently used in the 1940s by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to arrest 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II.
But Trump critics argue that the law requires the United States to go to war with another country.
So far, the Trump administration has flew 260 illegal immigrants into brutal, huge prisons in El Salvador amid deportation.
