Listen To Story Above

During an appearance on ABC’s “This Week,” Trump border Czar Tom Homan discussed the administration’s approach to deportation, emphasizing their commitment to following legal procedures while maintaining focus on removing criminal elements from the country.

When confronted by host Jonathan Karl about his previous statement regarding judicial opinions, Homan clarified his position. Karl directly quoted him, saying, “You said, I quote, I don’t care what judges think. Now, I know you have since said that the administration will abide by court orders. We heard Donald Trump say the same thing. So what do you mean when you say, I don’t care what judges think?”

Lawrence Jones asks Tom Homan , “you’re going against the judges now, what’s next?”!

Homan’s response, “ANOTHER FLIGHT!”.

In response, Homan explained, “I don’t care what that judge thinks as far as this case, we’re going to continue to arrest public safety threats and national security threats. We’re going to continue to deport them from the United States. I understand this case is in litigation through the Alien Enemies Act and we’ll abide by the court order as litigated, but my quote was, despite what he thinks, we’re going to keep targeting the worst of the worst, which we’ve been doing since day one in deporting from the United States to the various laws on the books. We are not making this up. The Alien Enemies Act was actually a federal law, it’s the statutes, enacted by Congress and signed by a president. Now that’s our litigation. but put that aside, we still have Title 8 authority to remove illegal aliens from the United States and will concentrate on those who are the biggest threat to our communities, public safety threats.”

To ensure absolute clarity on the administration’s stance regarding judicial authority, Karl pressed further, asking whether they would respect court orders while pursuing their appeals. Homan’s response was unequivocal: “No.”
