Tom Homan on Arresting Non-Illegals: If They‘re in the Country Legally, They Got No Reason To Be Afraid
RUSH EXCERPT:
HOMAN: "If they‘re in the country legally, they got no reason to be afraid. Ice is looking for those in the country legally, and we‘re still prioritizing public safety threats to national security threats. That‘s the priority. But like I said, you know, we do have collateral arrests in many areas because we‘re out looking for those public safety threats, but we‘re going to enforce immigration law, too. I mean, it‘s not okay to be in this country legally. It‘s not okay to enter this country legally. It‘s a crime. But legal aliens shouldn‘t, and U.S. citizens should not be afraid that they‘re going to be swept up in a raid. We we know who we‘re looking for. And that‘s where the agents are out there seeking. And they again, they use a lot of lot of information. Most of the operations we conduct are targeted enforcement operations. When we go out, we know exactly who we‘re looking for. Most likely we will find them. Many times we have a criminal history and and immigration history. When we go out looking for that person. So if you‘re in a country legally, you shouldn‘t fear ice. What you should fear is a criminal. Aliens walking the communities and sanctuary cities."
