Border czar Tom Homan said Thursday on Fox News that an illegal migrant who was recorded shouting that he would not be sent back to Haiti will, in fact, return to his home country.
Video footage aired on Fox News showed the Haitian migrant praising former Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama while being arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Boston, Mass. On âThe Will Cain Show,â Cain played the clip for Homan, asking for his thoughts as the migrant was heard shouting, âIâm not going back to Haiti!â
Homan said the migrant was wrong.
âHeâs going back to Haiti. I can tell him that,â Homan said.
âLook, Iâve said it on this network for four years. Joe Biden opened these borders on purpose. It wasnât a mismanagement. It wasnât encompassing. He knew exactly what he was doing. He played the promises while heâs running for president. He kept those promises. At least you got to give him credit for that. Theyâve opened this border up.â
President Trump, Homan said, is âgoing to secure the border the highest level ever.â
âYou thought we had a secure border before? Watch what happens now. Itâll be the tightest border in the history of this nation,â Homan said.
âICE officers are finally getting handcuffs taken off them, and theyâre going to put them on the bad guys throughout the country.â
Illegal migrant encounters reached record highs under the Biden-Harris administration. President Donald Trump, during the 2024 presidential campaign, said he would shut down the U.S. southern border and carry out mass deportations. Following Trumpâs inauguration and immediate reversal of Bidenâs policies, ICE officials have begun to arrest âcriminal aliens,â including rapists and murderers, across the U.S.

The Haitian migrant seen in the video, according to Fox Newsâ Bill Melugin, is a gang member with 17 criminal convictions in recent years. Homan went on to say that Americans will begin to see a difference at the border under the Biden-Harris administration, adding there will be increased security and more authority for ICE officials to carry out their duties.
âYouâre going to see a border wall being constructed. Youâre going to see a lot of soldiers down there on the impediment progress and putting Constantino wire up â border barriers. Youâre going to see DOD there,â Homan said.
âYouâre going to see ICE agents assigned down there for trafficking investigations. Youâre going to see Border Patrol agents â rather than making sandwiches, changing diapers, making baby formula â theyâre going to be doing their national security duty and securing that border. Theyâre going to be on the line.â
Prior to Trumpâs inauguration on Monday, Democratic lawmakers and officials criticized his mass deportation plan. The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit in November against ICE, challenging the deportation strategy. Despite the pushback, Homan has remained firm following through with the presidentâs vow and has warned Democrats of potential legal repercussions from attorney general nominee Pam Bondi.
