Trump’s “Border Czar” Tom Homan Threatens Surge of Immigration Agents to New York (original) (raw)

President Trump’s so-called border czar Tom Homan lashed out at Delaney Hall protesters in an interview with Fox News, claiming that government surveillance had revealed that most of the demonstrators were not from New Jersey.

Tom Homan: “Look, these are paid protesters. We got, you know, facial recognition of people from Portland. They’re at Portland riots, and many from the Minnesota. This is a well-planned, established thing they’re doing. This isn’t homegrown.”

In the same interview, Homan also laid out a plan by the Trump administration to deploy a massive surge of federal immigration agents to New York City in retaliation for new legislation recently signed by Governor Kathy Hochul that bans state and local law enforcement from collaborating with ICE and enacts other immigration protections. Homan’s announcement came just days before the start of the World Cup this week, with immigration activists leading campaigns nationwide to protect communities amid an expected rising presence of ICE agents during the soccer tournament.
