Tom Homan Corners CBS Interviewer Over Missing Biden Migrant Death Data

EXCERPT:

MONTOYA-GALVEZ: "We looked at official ICE data, sir, and found that 57 people have died in the agency’s custody so far under this administration. In fact, somebody was just reported to have died in ICE custody today by the agency. 2026 could set a new record high in the number of detainees dying. What is being done to prevent that? And I know one partial explanation is that more people are being detained and so tragically more people are dying, but that can’t be the only explanation, can it be?"
HOMAN: "How many people died during the Biden Administration? How many people died in custody during the Biden Administration? Do you know?"
MONTOYA-GALVEZ: "A significant number."
HOMAN: "Do you know?"
MONTOYA-GALVEZ: "But this is going to be the highest year, in 2026, if the pace continues."
HOMAN: "I’m just asking you, do you know how many died during the Biden Administration?"
MONTOYA-GALVEZ: "I don’t have the data here, but -- "
HOMAN: "Of course you don’t. Again, it’s another loaded question against the Trump Administration. ICE has the highest detention standards in the industry.”
