Donald Trump’s ‘border czar’ Tom Homan vowed to continue deportation of migrants they consider to be dangerous even when the courts disagree.
“We made a promise to the American people, President Trump has made a promise to American people, we’re gonna make this country safe again,” Homan told “Fox & Friends” co-host Lawrence Jones on Monday. “I wake up every morning loving my job because I work for the greatest president in the history of my life and we’re gonna make this country safe again.”
“We’re not stopping. I don’t care what the judges think. I don’t care what the left thinks. We’re coming,” he said.
Homan’s comments came after U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg ordered a halt to the effort to deport hundreds of immigrants allegedly affiliated with Venezuelan gangs after Trump invoked a controversial 18th century wartime law over the weekend.
But, the Trump administration ignored the order and loaded up two planes full of the immigrants and deported them to El Salvador anyway, according to Huffpost.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement that the judge’s order “had no lawful basis” and was issued “after terrorist [Tren de Aragua] aliens had already been removed from U.S. territory.”
Speaking to reporters later on Monday, Homan again defended Trump.
“The plane was already over international waters with a plane full of terrorists and significant public safety threats,” he said, adding, “The president did exactly the right thing.”
