Tom Homan, who President-elect Donald Trump has named as the next administration's “border czar,” has pushed back against critics of Trump's immigration ideology.
FOX Business' Elizabeth MacDonald said MSNBC anchor Nicole Wallace said Homan “has ties to Project 2025,” and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro said Homan had a “cowboy attitude.” and aired a recent video in which he said Trump's deportation plan “will require a lot of opposition.” “When he says, 'Yes, families can be deported together,' what he's saying is that U.S. citizens can be deported, too,” said Ana Navarro, co-host of “The View.” said.
“Are you saying that, Tom?” Mr. MacDonald asked Mr. Homan, referring to Mr. Navarro's remarks on the “Evening Edit.”
Homan responded by saying that “American citizens” and “legal immigrants are, by God, completely safe.”
Late last month, in response to a question from journalist Cecilia Vega on CBS's “60 Minutes” about the possibility of proceeding with “mass deportations without separating families,” Homan said, “That's a possibility.” , “It is possible to deport families together.''
Homan said at the beginning of the interview with “Evening Edit” that the Biden administration “deported families en masse.”
“I mean, look… if these people demand due process, they demand the right to claim asylum, they demand the right [to see a judge]and we give them to them [exorbitant] At the end of its due process, the taxpayer's costs will be paid if: [a] federal judge [says] “You have to go home. They have to go home,” Homan added. “If they don’t do that, what the hell are we doing?”
