In a powerful interview that left the liberal press stunned, former Acting ICE Director Tom Homan delivered a strong defense of U.S. immigration law and the Trump administration’s commitment to law and order — making it clear that no one is above the law, even illegal immigrants who give birth on U.S. soil.
Facing a loaded question from a clearly biased reporter, Homan stood firm and exposed the hypocrisy and emotional manipulation that the left has used for years to undermine immigration enforcement.
The reporter opened with a predictable guilt trip, attempting to corner Homan by asking whether deporting three illegal immigrant mothers — along with their U.S. citizen children — was “denying due process.” She accused the Trump-era policy of moving too swiftly and possibly making “errors.”
Homan didn’t flinch.
“If you enter this country illegally, it’s a crime. If you stay here illegally and ignore a judge’s deportation order — that’s your decision,” Homan said. “If you choose to have a U.S. citizen child while in the country illegally, you knowingly put yourself and that child in that position.”
Let’s be clear: Homan wasn’t apologizing for enforcing the law. He was defending it — and reminding Americans that illegal immigration has consequences.
He continued, dismantling the leftist narrative that the U.S. government was “ripping families apart.” In fact, Homan made it clear that the exact opposite happened.
“The story became ‘Trump administration separating families again.’ No — we’re keeping families together,” Homan explained. “Those mothers requested that their children come with them. We honored that request. We don’t deport U.S. citizens. But when a parent says, ‘I want my two-year-old baby with me,’ we make that happen.”
And then came the line that every American who believes in sovereignty needs to hear:
“Having a U.S. citizen child does not make you immune from our laws.”
That’s the truth the media doesn’t want to admit — that birthright citizenship is not a shield for lawbreaking. These cases aren’t about compassion; they’re about personal responsibility and the rule of law.
When asked about current deportation numbers, Homan didn’t hesitate to praise the progress made under real leadership.
“We hit 139,000 deportations. Am I happy with that? Absolutely,” he said. “ICE removals are far beyond anything under Biden. But the media spins it — claiming deportations are down — because they include border removals. We don’t have 10.5 million people crossing the border like under Biden. We enforce the law the right way.”
Under President Trump, ICE wasn’t just enforcing laws — they were restoring respect for our borders. Under Biden, chaos has reigned, with millions pouring in and sanctuary policies shielding criminals.
Tom Homan’s unwavering stance is a reminder of what strong leadership looks like: unapologetic, principled, and focused on protecting the American people — not caving to the demands of illegal immigrants and activist journalists.
