Border czar Tom Homan retorted to CNN’s Shimon Prokupecz’s accusations on Thursday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is instilling “fear” in American communities.
During the press conference in Minnesota, Prokupecz asked Homan who in charge is responsible for the current unrest in the wake of the death of Alex Pretti by a Border Patrol agent in Minneapolis. Homan argued that the massive immigration enforcement operations are in response to the release of millions of illegal aliens by former President Joe Biden’s administration and the need for officers to be protected while arresting public safety threats.
“And then finally, it really took the death of Alex Pretti for us to get here.How did that happen?Who made the decisions to allow this kind of operation to proceed in this way and tocreate such fear?” Prokupecz asked.
“Well look, the border patrol, the last four years, Joe Biden, we have an open border or 10, 12,000people a day are coming across the border, border patrol got overwhelmed, which meanswe sent thousands of ICE agents down there to help deal with that humanitarian crisis, to help secure the border. Now we have millions of people released in this nation, many unvetted.Now we got to find them.Before the big, beautiful bill, we had a total just under 5,000 deportation officers to lookfor millions of people, many in public safety threats.”
“So yes, we needed more to come and help on our mission now,” Homan continued. “And the reason for the massive deployment is because of the stress, because of the violence.Our officers need to be protected.
