'A ridiculous thing to say!' Tom Homan loses it on MSNBC over 'disappearing' immigrants
Donald Trump’s “border czar’ Tom Homan lost his temper on MSNBC on Tuesday morning after he was confronted about his masked agents snatching immigrants off the street without warrants and then fleeing with them in unmarked vehicles.
Appearing on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” the tense interview took a turn for the chaotic when co-host Mika Brzezinski accused the Department of Homeland Security of ‘disappearing” immigrants, many of whom have committed no crimes, which set off the already argumentative Trump appointee.
With Homan repeatedly asserting that DHS has “data” supporting the street snatchings, the MSNBC host asked, “A lot of these people have been disappeared. You say you have data, we would love to see it, the American people should see this data.”
“Well, here's the kicker again, right? You just said ‘disappeared.’ That is a ridiculous thing to. say! Because ICE is doing the same thing we've done for decades,” he insisted despite there being no history of masked ICE agents swarmed cities with the National Guard providing support.
He continued, “But because of the last four years, ICE wasn't allowed to enforce the law. ICE was told to sit back and you can't arrest an illegal alien for simply being here legally. You got (sic) to wait till they commit a serious crime and get convicted of that crime. That's what Secretary [Alejandro] Mayorkas instructions were and that's why you saw so much –– there's so much crime in this country coming from the illegal alien population!”
“We know exactly who we're going to arrest when we go look for them,” he insisted. “We have a case file in front of us, we have all those facts. This is not disappearing people. This is a targeted enforcement operation that we're doing and the comments that you just made is one of the reasons why these men and women are under threat every day, not just the men and women in ICE, but their spouses and their children.”
Brzezinski then, once again, invited him to share his “data.”
