Tom Homan, whom President-elect Donald Trump named over the weekend to become his “border czar,” sounded off on Democratic governors who have already vowed to push back on any major deportation and illegal immigration enforcement efforts.
“I’ve been on this network for years complaining about what [the Biden-Harris] administration did to this border,” Homan told “Fox & Friends” on Monday. “I’ve been yelling and screaming about it and what they need to do to fix it.
“So when the president asked me, ‘Would you come back and fix it?’ Of course. I’d be a hypocrite if I didn’t. I’m honored the president asked me to come back and help solve this national security crisis, so I’m looking forward to it,” he added.
“I know exactly what I’m doing, and this is the second time I’ve come out of retirement for this president because it matters,” Homan continued. “I was a Border Patrol agent, I wore that uniform, and I’m proud that I wore that uniform. I was an ICE agent. I was the first ICE director that came up through the ranks, so the 20,000 men and women that worked for me, I didn’t ask them to do anything I wouldn’t do myself, because I was one of them.”
He then took aim at Democratic governors like Gavin Newsom in California and Kathy Hochul in New York who have already vowed to try and block Trump administration enforcement policies.
“It’d be great to have local law enforcement assist ICE… I’ve seen some of these Democratic governors say they are going to stand in the way. They’re going to make it hard for us. I suggest if you’re not going to help us, get the hell out of the way — because we’re gonna do it,” Homan vowed.
“If we can’t get assistance from New York City, we may have to double the number of agents we send to New York City. Because we’re going to do the job, we’re going to do it with you or without you,” Homan added.
