Trump Administration’s Border Czar Vows to Eliminate Migrant Terror Groups

Trump Administration’s Border Czar Vows to Eliminate Migrant Terror Groups

Tom Homan, the Trump administration’s Border Czar, issued a stark warning to criminal migratory organizations during a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in National Harbor, Maryland. On Saturday, he declared that these groups would face severe consequences and boldly stated that anyone involved would face the wrath of the administration.

Homan, who formerly served as the acting director of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), emphasized the impressive reduction in illegal crossings, stating the number of illegal immigrant ‘gotaways’ has diminished by a staggering 95 percent. This drop reflects the effectiveness of current policies aimed at securing the U.S.-Mexico border.

In his remarks, Homan highlighted the significant decrease in daily border crossings. He noted that the number of individuals evading capture has dropped dramatically from about 1,800 a day in early 2023 to just 48 on a recent day. Homan remarked, ‘You’re talking about 2,000 miles of border, and only 48 people escaped. But that’s 48 too many. I’m not going to be happy until that number’s zero.’

Promise of Action Against Criminal Aliens

Further driving home the urgency of his message, Homan revealed that in the first month of Trump’s presidency, ICE apprehended around 21,000 illegal aliens. He expressed satisfaction with these figures but insisted that the mission would not be complete until every criminal alien and their associated groups, like the Tren de Aragua, have been eradicated from the country.

Intensifying his rhetoric, Homan addressed notorious criminal organizations, including Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua and El Salvador’s MS-13, both of which the administration has classified as foreign terrorist organizations. ‘He’s going to wipe you off the face of the earth,’ Homan declared. ‘You have killed more Americans than every terrorist organization in the world combined.’

Slashing Criminal Potential

Homan emphasized the administration’s commitment to safeguard American lives through stringent border policies. He reflected on how fewer individuals crossing the border could significantly reduce violence and crime rates. He posited, ‘When 95% less people are coming across the border, how many women aren’t being raped? How many Americans aren’t dying from fentanyl overdoses? How many terrorists aren’t getting in the country?’ He asserted that such measures not only protect citizens but also curb the tragic crisis of human trafficking.

Defending Law Enforcement Actions

When confronted with allegations from Democrats and the media that ICE is detaining individuals without criminal charges, Homan’s response was unequivocal. ‘Yeah, damn right we did. Because you’re in a country illegally, which happens to be a violation of our law,’ he asserted firmly. He reiterated that illegal entry into the United States is a crime, and that the actions taken by ICE must continue unabated.

Homan further challenged self-identified ‘sanctuary’ cities and states that do not assist ICE. In a determined tone, he stated, ‘Sanctuary cities are a sanctuary for criminals.’ This statement underlines the administration’s perceived duty to uphold laws crafted by Congress without apology.

A Call to Law Enforcement

During his remarks, Homan specifically called out Boston’s Police Commissioner, Michael Cox, for his refusal to aid ICE. He remarked, ‘I looked at the numbers this morning. I stopped counting at nine. Nine child rapists that were in jail in Massachusetts, but rather than honoring an ICE detainer, you released them back into the street.’ Homan urged Cox to reconsider his stance, emphasizing the dire consequences of such policies.

He also took a moment to commend the dedication of federal law enforcement officials, stating, ‘God bless the men and women of ICE. God bless all the DOJ components.’ His acknowledgment of the sacrifices made by agents in the field highlights the administration’s commitment to law enforcement and border security.

CPAC and the Future of Border Security

This year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) attracted a host of influential figures, including former President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and tech entrepreneur Elon Musk. The conference served as a platform for discussing pivotal issues facing the nation, including the ongoing challenges related to immigration and border security.

Homan’s address not only reflects the administration’s current approach to border security but also sets the tone for future policies aimed at addressing the complexities of immigration. With ongoing discussions within the political landscape, it appears that the Trump administration remains vigilant in its pursuit of stricter enforcement and uncompromising measures against criminal elements.

Looking Ahead

The messages delivered by Homan at CPAC provide insight into the aggressive stance the Trump administration plans to maintain against migrant terror groups and criminal organizations. As the political climate evolves, it remains clear that the focus on securing the U.S. border will continue to dominate national discussions.

Amid rising tensions regarding immigration policies, the actions and promises made during this conference could resonate significantly with voters as the nation prepares for forthcoming elections. Given the complexities surrounding immigration, the stakes are high, and the administration appears poised to take a hardline approach in the months to come.
