- Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) ripped on the TERRIBLE conditions and former acting ICE Director Tom Homan responded that HE’S THE ONLY ONE WHO’S ACTUALLY BEEN DEALING WITH IT during a House Oversight hearing on conditions in migrant facilities on the southern border.
- Homan’s Fox News op-ed: Tom Homan: Democrats are lying to the American people about ICE and immigration — here’s why that’s dangerous. (By Tom Homan | Fox News) — What is going on in this country right now, especially on Capitol Hill, is nothing short of deceitful behavior which intentionally distorts the truth in order to win a political battle. I saw it firsthand when I testified on Capitol Hill this past Friday, in front of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform. Aside from the six minutes I was given to read my opening statement, there was an attempt by most Democrats on that committee to silence me. The issues surrounding zero tolerance and the conditions of confinement at Border Patrol stations is an important one and it is vital that the American people know the facts. But every time one of the witnesses or members of Congress said something that was downright wrong – a lie, an intentional mis-truth – and I attempted to speak up and correct the record, I was refused many times the opportunity to speak. They didn’t want to hear from me. They didn’t want the truth. They simply wanted to continue to push their false narrative about the Border Patrol and ICE. They wanted to continually attack our president. The hearing was nothing but political theater to misinform the American people. It was politics at its worse. Toward the second half of the hearing, I finally decided that I was not going to be silenced any longer. If they didn’t want to hear what I had to say, then I was going to interject, interrupt and speak to the American people. I refuse to be bullied, and I will not be silenced in my support of the Border Patrol and ICE or in support of the truth. Further, as ICE prepared to conduct a nationwide operation, Democratic leaders such as Nancy Pelosi held a press conference to instruct those who have violated our nation’s laws on how they can evade federal law enforcement. How they can evade the law. How what ICE is doing is un-American and they need to resist.
