Border czar Tom Homan said Thursday on Fox News that illegal immigrants who were recorded screaming that they would not be sent back to Haiti would actually be returned to their home country.
Video footage aired on FOX News shows a Haitian immigrant praising former President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama while being arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Boston, Massachusetts. Ta. “I’m not going back to Haiti!” a migrant could be heard shouting, but he asked for his thoughts.
Homan said immigration was wrong.
“He’s going back to Haiti. I can tell him that,” Homan said.
“Look, I’ve been saying that for four years on this network. Joe Biden opened these borders on purpose. It wasn’t mismanagement. It wasn’t comprehensive. He knew exactly what he was doing. He kept those promises while he was running for president. At least you have to give him credit for that. They opened this border.”
President Trump “is going to secure the border,” Homan said. [at] Highest level ever. ”
“Did you think we had a secure border before? Look at what’s going to happen now. It’s going to be the toughest border in the history of this country,” Homan said.
“ICE agents are finally taking off their handcuffs and are handcuffing bad guys across the country.”
The number of encounters with illegal immigrants has reached an all-time high under the Biden-Harris administration. President Donald Trump has said he will close the US southern border and carry out mass deportations during the 2024 presidential campaign. Following President Trump’s inauguration and immediate reversal of Biden’s policies, ICE officials began arresting “criminal aliens” across the United States, including rapists and murderers.

According to FOX News’ Bill Melgin, the Haitian immigrant seen in the video is a gang member with 17 recent convictions. Homan went on to say that under a Biden-Harris administration, Americans will start to feel a difference at the border, adding that security will be increased and ICE agents will have more authority to carry out their duties.
“You will see a border wall being built, where you will see many soldiers blocking progress and setting up the Constantine wire, the border wall. National Defense. You will see the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications [the Department of Defense] It’s there,” Homan said.
“You’re going to see ICE agents assigned there for human trafficking investigations. Instead of Border Patrol agents making sandwiches, changing diapers, making formula; They will be on the front line, performing national security missions and protecting our borders.”
Ahead of President Trump’s inauguration on Monday, Democratic lawmakers and officials criticized his plan for mass deportations. The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit against ICE in November challenging its deportation strategy. Despite the backlash, Homan has remained steadfast in his commitment to the president’s pledge, warning Democrats of possible legal repercussions from attorney general nominee Pam Bondi.
