Border czar Tom Homan retorted to CNN’s Shimon Prokupecz’s accusations on Thursday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is instilling “fear” in American communities. “Well look, the border patrol, the last four years, Joe Biden, we have an open border or 10, 12,000 people a day are coming across the border, border patrol got overwhelmed, which means we sent thousands of ICE agents down there to help deal with that humanitarian crisis, to help secure the border. Trump enacted hawkish immigration policies that have led to more aggressive immigration enforcement operations and to record-low border crossings. New footage released on Wednesday showed Pretti spitting at immigration enforcement and breaking a taillight on their vehicle just 11 days before his death. While Noem faced scrutiny, Trump sent Homan to Minnesota to speak with officials and oversee ICE operations.
