Tom Homan: Does the Nat’l Guard Arrest Illegal Aliens? No, But They Do Provide Protection

‘They’re a force multiplier there on the table’

RUSH EXCERPT:
HOMAN: "Look, the National Guard are always on the table. We use them in in Los Angeles, and we use them in Washington, D.C.. They‘re a force multiplier. Now, do they arrest illegal aliens? No. The ice officers, border patrol agents who have title eight authority, illegal criminal aliens. But the National Guard does provide protection for us. It does provide us infrastructure, provides U.S. transportation, provides us additional processing capability that allows the ones who immigration authority the badges and guns on the street continue arresting the bad guy. So yeah, there are force multiplier there on the table. I mean, they‘ve been used by every administration since I‘ve been working for the government starting in 1984, every administration has used the guard or the military on the border. And, and and they‘ve been very beneficial. Look, look at the crime change in Washington, D.C. look what they‘re able to do in Los Angeles. I was in Los Angeles when that all started. We were serving criminal warrants on money. Money fraud, tax evasion, money laundering and cartel funding. We‘re serving criminal search warrants and all hell broke loose because, you know, the left said we‘re doing immigration raids and just arresting people that look different from us. And for two days, I.c.E. agents are under extreme threat. We‘re being attacked. The facilities are being attacked. Thank god President Trump called the National Guard in to bring peace. So the National Guard is beneficial."
