Border Czar Tom Homan, the former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has been a vocal supporter of the agency and its agents. On Tuesday, he spoke to The Gateway Pundit following the indictment of LaMonica McIver for assaulting ICE agents at the Delaney Hall Detention Center. This incident has brought attention to the ongoing animosity and violence directed towards ICE agents by those who oppose the agency’s actions.
McIver, along with Democrat New Jersey Congress Representatives Bonnie Watson Coleman and Robert Menendez, stormed into the ICE facility in Newark earlier this month, and engaged in a physical altercation with federal agents. This disturbing incident is just the latest in a string of attacks on ICE agents, who put their lives on the line every day to protect our nation’s borders and enforce our immigration laws.
In an exclusive interview with The Gateway Pundit, Tom Homan expressed his disgust at the actions of McIver and the Congress representatives, saying, “It’s disgusting that a member of Congress and her colleagues would physically attack our brave ICE agents who are simply doing their jobs.” He went on to say that McIver should be thanking the agents, not assaulting them.
Homan also addressed the recent Supreme Court ruling that revoked the protected status of certain aliens, making them eligible for deportation. He said, “I believe this ruling will lead to more deportations in the coming months, and it’s about time. We cannot continue to turn a blind eye to those who have entered our country illegally and have no right to be here.”
The former ICE director also emphasized the importance of enforcing our immigration laws and securing our borders, stating, “We are a sovereign nation and we have the right to protect our borders. ICE agents are there to uphold the law and keep our country safe. It’s time for politicians to stop playing politics and start supporting our law enforcement agencies.”
Homan’s statements are backed by statistics, as ICE has reported a significant increase in assaults against their agents in the past year. These attacks not only endanger the agents but also hinder their ability to carry out their duties effectively. It is essential to remember that ICE agents are not the enemy, they are simply following the laws set by our government.
This incident at the ICE facility in Newark is just one example of the growing hostility and violence towards law enforcement officers in our country. It is time for politicians to take responsibility for their actions and stop encouraging these attacks. We should be thanking our law enforcement officers for their dedication and sacrifice, not vilifying them.
In the wake of this incident, it is also crucial to acknowledge the role of the media in perpetuating negative narratives about ICE agents. Homan expressed his disappointment in the way the media has portrayed ICE agents, saying, “The mainstream media has a responsibility to report the truth, but they have chosen to push their own agendas and demonize ICE agents. This needs to stop.”
It is disheartening to see public officials and media outlets demonize the brave men and women of ICE who put their lives on the line every day to protect our borders. As our nation continues to debate immigration policies, it is essential to remember that it is not the agents who are responsible for the laws, but rather our government.
In conclusion, Tom Homan’s interview with The Gateway Pundit sheds light on the ongoing challenges faced by ICE agents and the need for better support from politicians and the media. It is time for our country to come together and support our law enforcement officers who work tirelessly to keep us safe. Let’s show our gratitude and appreciation for their hard work and dedication to our nation.
