Trump’s Border Czar Tom Homan explains the circumstances of who has been deported so far, and how Chicago officials are lying about supposed ICE raids at an elementary school
by Edward Ulrich, January 28, 2025
In this Fox News broadcast, Trump’s Border Czar Tom Homan explains issues with the deportations that ICE has been performing in Chicago.
Homan explains that right now they are focusing on public safety threats and national security threats, where next they will be focusing on fugitives from the law, of which there are 1.4 million in the United States. Also explained is how Chicago officials and the governor of Illinois are falsely claiming that ICE had raided an elementary school.
Homan said in the interview:
Yesterday during the operation I was part of, I can tell you that we arrested more than nine TdA members, where a couple are being criminally prosecuted because one of them was selling weapons. Here is an illegal alien gang member in the United States who was selling illegal guns to other gang members. And some of these guns had what is called a “switch” which is added to the gun to make it fully automatic. It turns a Glock handgun into a machine gun.
We arrested a lot of TdA members, I know we arrested two illegal aliens who had murder convictions that were walking the street. We arrested at least seven sexual predators, most of which are child predators. We arrested people with extreme sexual assault allegations. These are all bad people, public safety threats, they shouldn’t be walking the streets of Chicago.
If [Chicago] wasn’t a sanctuary city, they could have been arrested in the safety and security of a jail, rather than them being released into the community, putting the community at risk of crime and assaults.
Also spoken about is an issue where two Secret Service agents went to a Chicago elementary school last week because they were checking on a threat that was made on TikTok, where the principal of the school then knowingly lied about the situation saying that it was ICE agents, with that lie then being reported on MSNBC by the Chief Executive Officer of Chicago Public Schools Pedro Martinez.
Additionally, the leftist Governor of Illinois JB Pritzker then Tweeted the following: “After a week of Republicans sowing fear and chaos, the first reports of raids in Chicago are at an elementary school. Targeting children and separating families is cruel and un-American.”
[Note that Pritzker’s Tweet is still up and he didn’t Tweet a correction about the matter.]
Homan additionally said:
I don’t think we’ve arrested any families. We’ve arrested public safety threats and national security threats, bottom line. And look, President Trump won the election on this one issue, securing our border and saving lives.
What happened on our southern border during the past four years is the biggest national security threat this country has seen at least in my lifetime, because we have over two million known gotaways, we have a 600% increase in sex trafficking, we got a record number of terrorists crossing the border on the terrorist watchlist. We have a quarter million Americans dying from Fentanyl coming over the open border. We’re going to do this job, and we’re going to enforce the laws of this country. If they don’t like it, then go to Congress and change the law. We’re going to do this operation without apology. We’re going to make our communities safer.
Once we lock down the border we’re going to have a continuous operation, where we are going to see Fentanyl deaths decrease, illegal alien crime decrease, sex trafficking decrease. It is all for the good of this nation and we are going to keep going. No apologies, we’re moving forward.
When Homan was asked about the fact that there are no repatriation agreements for aliens from Venezuela or China, he said that if those countries won’t take them then they will be sent to a third safe country, where several countries have already been lining up to take such nationals from any country.
