It Could Happen Here Weekly 170
That's exactly the question I posed to the Deputy Attorney General. I asked him to look into it. I said, you know, I know through my career someone steps in front of you and between you and the person you're arresting, they're repeating, yeah, that's a violation. But at what point do you cross the line on saying you're educating people versus you're teaching them how to evade ICE arrest?
Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 170
So I've asked that question to the Department of Justice for clear guidance so I can share that with the officers of ICE. So we're looking for that response. clear direction so we can start taking action on people who want to help educate these people to evade ICE. So hopefully any day now we get that guidance sent out to the field.

Someone in the country committed a crime against you and sent you to jail. Why not give access to that person so when you're done with them, we can have them and do our job? Because releasing a public safety threat back in the public is just stupid. Victims and witnesses of crime don't want the bad guy back out there either.

This is not a game. When we show up at these sites, this is a dangerous job for the men and women of ICE and Border Patrol and all the DOJ agencies.

Part Of The Problem
Game Over For The Dems?
I don't care what that judges think. As far as this case, we're going to continue to arrest public safety threats and national security threats. We're going to continue to deport them from the United States. I understand this case is in litigation through the Alien Enemies Act, and we'll abide by the court order as litigated.
Part Of The Problem
Game Over For The Dems?
But my quote was, despite what he thinks, we're going to keep targeting the worst of the worst, which we've been doing since day one, and deporting from the United States.
Part Of The Problem
Game Over For The Dems?
United States through the various laws on the books. We're not making this up. The Alien Enemies Act was actually a federal law. It's a statute enacted by Congress and signed by a president. Now, that's under litigation.
Part Of The Problem
Game Over For The Dems?
But put that aside, we still have Title VIII authority to remove illegal aliens from the United States, and we're going to continue to concentrate on those who are the biggest threat to our communities, the public safety threats.
Part Of The Problem
Game Over For The Dems?
Some were, some weren't. Some have been in custody for a little bit. And some on that plane were Title VIII removals, which means they were orderly removed by the immigration judge. And some other words were removed to the Alien Enemies Act. And I think about 240 on that flight were Benz and Wayland gang members, TDA. And I think we had... 21 MS-13 members and a couple of specific MS-13 cases.
Part Of The Problem
Game Over For The Dems?
But as far as the Venezuelans on that flight, every single one, according to the information given to me from the field, are members of the TDA. And TDA has been determined to be terrorist organizations. They are not classified as terrorists, so that plane removed 240 terrorists from the United States.
Part Of The Problem
Game Over For The Dems?
Look, there's various methods. I've noticed in the media, a lot of them don't have criminal histories. Well, a lot of gang members don't have criminal histories. Just like a lot of terrorists in this world, they're not in any terrorist database, right? We only know the information within databases based on, for instance, most terrorists we arrest that are identified as U.S.
Part Of The Problem
Game Over For The Dems?
government are later identified through a Title III investigation or through an undercover operation. They're not in any terrorist screening database. We know that. A lot of gang members, I started as a cop in 1984. Many gang members don't have a criminal history issue. We have a count on social media. We have a count on surveillance techniques.
Part Of The Problem
Game Over For The Dems?
We have a count on sworn statements from other gang members. We have a count on wiretaps and Title IIIs. Everything involved with criminal investigations come into play. So just because someone hasn't been arrested and charged with a crime yet doesn't mean they're a member of a gang.

Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
We're not just going to attack them on our southern border, we're going to attack them across the globe. Jalisco cartels in 43 countries around the globe. Not only are they moving drugs across the border, that's the way it used to be, now they have a presence in every major city in this country.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
So on top of smuggling narcotics in this country, they're taking over the interior distribution of narcotics within our largest cities. We're going to attack them on the border. We're going to attack them in the interior United States. We're going to attack them in every country there around the world with the assistance of the other countries. This designation is putting them on notice.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
We're going to use the whole might of the United States government. to take them out. The first thing we do is take the money. If they don't have money, they have no power. They can't buy the Mexican military. They can't buy Mexican legislation. They can't buy Mexican judges. So we're going to shut them down one piece at a time.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
What President Trump did by designating a terrorist organization, take the first step, avoiding these cartels off the face of the earth. You know who's going to be more grateful than anybody? The country of Mexico. I've said this many times, there's a lot of corruption in Mexico, whether it's the military, law enforcement, or government officials. Many of them
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
Didn't choose to be corrupt, but cartels will tell you, you are going to do this and we're going to kill you and your family. To take the cartels out of Mexico and demolish them and incinerate them and take them off the face of the earth, we're going to free Mexico. We want to be under the control of the cartels. They can operate in a free society.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
So I think no one is going to be more grateful than Mexico.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
I appreciate the thanks. Let's give the thanks to the men and women wearing the green uniform who are down there 24-7. While I'm sitting at this event tonight, there's some border police standing on a dirt trail someplace. It's going to take somebody on, whether it's just an illegal ant or a heavy armed drug smuggler.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
These are the men and women who sit on that board 24-7 while we're laying in bed sleeping safe at night. Thank the ICE agents who are out there with a Kevlar vest and a gun on their hip going to sanctuary cities arresting bad people because they couldn't arrest them in the jail. And we got leakers telling people where these operations are. Let's pray for the men and women.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
I said, they go home and save their families every night. There's the real heroes. I'm grateful to be in. I got a great president, but I want to thank the men and women on the front line who are doing the job. Steve Miller is the architect, brilliant, probably one of the smartest men I've ever met. We strategize. We come up with plans. We come up with the methods of what we want done.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
But the men and women carrying the badge and gun, God bless them. Let's keep them safe because they're doing God's work on the front line.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
I expect President Trump to educate American people on the facts of the border, that what he did in three weeks, Biden administration failed to do in four years. We had the lowest border numbers in the history of the United States border. And that's not an exaggeration. Last month, we had the fewest number of encounters in the history of this nation. And President Trump did that in four weeks.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
So think what he's going to do in the next 47 months. So we've got the most secure border ever right now. We've got a little bit more work to do. ICE has record amounts of arrests in the interior. So as the president secures the border, here's what I hope people take away tonight.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
When you have 97% less people coming, border patrols now on the border, 100% engaged, 100% on duty, not changing diapers, not making baby formula, not making hospital runs, means we seize more fentanyl, less Americans die from fentanyl. We arrest more traffickers, so less women and children are sex trafficked. We got less no-inspector terrorists getting away in this country. The gotaways alone.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
Under Biden, average 1,800 gotaways the day that we know of. The other day, it's 41. And we're going to get that down to zero. So we're going to have total operational control of our southern border. It'll be the first time in history.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
Exactly. They're counting the numbers of what was removed. Look, President Trump can remove 90% of people coming across the border. His deportation numbers are still going to be lower than Biden, even if Biden deported 10%, because they brought millions of people in. Understand in one month, a total of 8,000. 8,000 in one month. And under Joe Biden, we're doing 11,000 a day, right?
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
I don't mean... It's a big game changer. And I say every day, and I'll say it tonight, President Trump proves every day why he's the greatest president in my lifetime.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
Well, look, President Trump did it before. This administration knew how to fix it. They just didn't choose to fix it. What Biden did was not mismanagement. It was not incompetence. It's by design. They knew exactly what they were doing. He ran on open borders. He said he's going to shut down ICE detention. He said he's going to put a moratorium on deportations.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
He says he's going to give free health care to illegal aliens. The promises he made, we knew the whole country, the whole world's going to come to the greatest nation on earth when you're offering all these giveaways with no consequences. They knew how to fix it. They refused to do it. Again, what they failed to do in four years, Donald Trump did in three weeks.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
Don't tell me. Because, you know, I've been fighting with the Democrat side of the House for a long time, especially the last couple of days. There's going to be members of Congress sitting in the audience tonight who are educating criminal illegal aliens how to evade law enforcement. They say, well, we're educating them as a constitutional right. Okay, plan what you want.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
We all know what you're doing. You're educating those how to evade law enforcement. Don't open your doors. Don't answer questions. You know, hide. And these are Congress people... that begged that these people had a right to claim asylum. They got a right to see a judge. They got a right to due process. And that happened. They had that due process. But 90% have been orderly moved.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
So if we don't execute the final decision of the courts, there is no due process. It means nothing. You can't demand due process and ignore the final decision of the courts. If we do that, they might as well just shut down the immigration courts, take the border control off the border. There's no consequences. You can't ask... to implement a system of laws and ignore the final result.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
And that's why we're going to have a massive deportation operation because millions of people across this border, 90% would get an order of removal. We've got to remove them. So any member of Congress who wants to educate, we made it clear the Trump administration is going to concentrate on the worst of the worst, worst public safety threats, right?
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
I can't believe any member of Congress wants to educate an illegal alien who's been convicted of a serious offense He's got order removal at the due process at great taxpayer expense and wants to educate on how to date arrest. To me, they are resigned to position as member of Congress because they're doing the complete opposite with American taxpayers' expectations.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
They haven't crossed the line yet. But if they cross the line, they're going to be prosecuted. You can stand aside and watch ICE do your job. ICE is making their community safer. And I find it hard to believe every day there's any mayor or governor or city council person that doesn't want public safety threats removed from the public. It's their number one responsibility is community safety.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
If you want to help us, get the hell out of the way. Well, I've warned numerous... mayors and governors, don't cross that line. If you impede us, that's a felony. And Pam Bondi, we'll ask Pam Bondi to prosecute. If you harbor or conceal an illegal alien, annoyingly harbor or conceal an alien from ICE, that's a felony. In my career, I've arrested U.S.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
citizens for harboring, concealing an illegal alien in a workplace or a home. If I can prosecute a U.S. citizen for doing it, why can't we prosecute a politician who does that same thing? So, you know, I think we've got a strong AG in Pam Bondi, and if they cross that line, we should prosecute and make an example out of them.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
Look, I think a lot of what they did is treasonous. Take, for example, the Galloways, right? They overwhelmed the border patrol where many nights, 70%, 7-0, 70% of agents were pulled off the line to make sandwiches, change diapers, make baby formula, make hospital runs, dealing with this humanitarian crisis they created on purpose. And the border patrol is overwhelmed.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
So we got 30% of border patrols left on the line. Then the criminal cartels will send a group of 100 family units in one area, knowing that 30% are going to seize that opportunity to deal with a humanitarian crisis there, which the cartels create gaps. So you got 2.2 million known gotaways. You got to ask yourself, why did 2 million plus people pay more to get away?
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
Because you pay the cartels one amount of money to get to the border, the cartels job ends when you get to the border because you turn yourself into a green uniform. You get released within 24 hours, you get a free airline ticket to the city of your choice, you get put in a free hotel room, you get three meals a day and free medical care.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
After about three months you get work authorization, the very reason they came here. So why do two million people pay more not to take advantage of that giveaway program? Why do they pay more to get away? Because they didn't want to be vetted. They didn't want to be fingerprinted. These are going to be people who are trafficking women and children. They're going to be ones carrying a fentanyl.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
And they're going to be ones coming from a country sponsoring terror. Now, under Trump, in four years, we arrested a total of 14 people on terrorist watch lists. 14 in four years. This Biden administration had 14 in a day. I mean, they were up over 400. So the question is, border patrols arrested people from 181 different countries. Many of these countries are sponsored with terror.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
They've arrested over 400. How many of that 2.2 million came from countries sponsored with terror? If you think it's zero, you're a moron. So this is the biggest national security vulnerability I've seen in my lifetime. Even FBI Director Wray, who I don't like, even he agreed this is the biggest national security vulnerability. He's seen a lot of red flags.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
What they did when they purposely opened this border up is create the biggest national security vulnerability this nation's ever seen. And we know there's people here that want to do us harm. We know national security threats enter this country. We're monitoring some, some we don't know where there are. So when you use the word treasonous, I agree with you.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
Because they, on purpose, created this open border, which resulted in a significant national security concern, national security vulnerability. We all know something's coming. The intelligence community believes something's going to be coming. And thank God we got President Trump in the Oval Office to deal with it when it happens.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
No one celebrated that election more than the criminal cartels. They knew they were back in business. The reason there's so much violence in Mexico right now is because the cartels are making more money than they've ever made in sex trafficking of women and children, alien smuggling, and the smuggling of narcotics. Now...
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
There's a lot of discontent in Mexico because President Trump has taken billions of dollars out of their pockets when he secures that border. So I think you're going to see more violence on the border. I don't think they're going to go away quietly.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
I think President Trump did the right thing, designated them terrorist organizations because these cartels have killed more Americans than every terrorist organization in the world combined. But what they did to the border was on purpose. I agree 100%. Here's why I know it's on purpose. We never talk about this. Let me just mention this.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
When Barack Obama was president, Joe Biden was vice president, Secretary Mayorkas was a deputy secretary. We had a surge of family groups coming across the border. How did we stop it? We built family residential centers. We held them long enough to see a judge. Ninety-one percent lost their case. We put them in an airplane and sent them home, and the border number is dumped.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
So Mayorkas knows how we fixed it, and Biden knows how we fixed it. What did they do when he becomes president, Mayorkas becomes secretary? They don't contain him. They don't make him see a judge. They don't deport him. They did exactly the opposite of what proved worked when he was vice president, the secretary of my office, the deputy secretary. So this wasn't an accident.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
They did the exact opposite of what they knew we succeeded with when President Obama was in office. So this wasn't, again, this was by design. They knew exactly what they were doing. And the reason they didn't detain them is because when an alien's in detention, they get a hearing within 40 days at top, which means in 40 days, that 91% be ordered to move and they go home.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
That's not what they wanted. So they released them to NGOs, put them in a hotel room, because once you're out of ICE custody, it's called a non-detained docket. Non-detained docket takes anywhere from three years to nine years, depending on what city you're in. And they knew in that three to nine years, They'll get one or two U.S. citizen kids.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
They'll get equities here, and hopefully a Democratic Congress and Democratic president that will reward them in amnesty. This is why they didn't detain them. They don't want them removed, so they figured they'd put them on the non-custody docket with the immigration court. Their cases are so far down the road that there'll be a change in the administration, and they can award them in amnesty.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
That's exactly what was their plan, and thank God we changed that in November and got President
The Ben Shapiro Show
Daily Wire Backstage: Trump’s Address to Congress
If you're involved in cartels anyway, if you're transporting for them, if you're moving money for them, if you're helping these cartels in any way, then you are part of a terrorist organization and we'll charge you with terrorist-related crimes, which has significant penalties. Being designated terrorist brings a whole of U.S. government, I'm including the military.

The Charlie Kirk Show
What's Driving the Democrat Death Spiral?
Well, let me start with this first, if you don't mind. So during CPAC, I made a statement that I was going to go to Boston and bring hell with me because child rapists, illegal aliens that were walking the streets of Boston because of the sanctuary policies, not only in Boston, but the entire state of Massachusetts.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's Driving the Democrat Death Spiral?
Well, I went up there and started, as promised, I went to Boston last Tuesday and we started a five-day operation. We arrested 370 illegal aliens. most of them criminal threats, including child sexual predators, murderers, gun traffickers, drug traffickers. So kept our promise. So once again, we're proving that Massachusetts is a sanctuary haven for the worst of the worst.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's Driving the Democrat Death Spiral?
So follow through on that promise. As far as the border, as the numbers are down right now, we're at 96% decline in illegal entries. It's the most secure border we've ever had. We've got more to do. The most... What I like the most is the number of gotaways. Under Joe Biden, we were averaging 1,800 gotaways a day. People that entered the country, weren't arrested, weren't vaccinated, got away.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's Driving the Democrat Death Spiral?
We went from 1,800 to double digits, like 42. So that's a good number. Of course, illegal deaths that went down, American deaths from fentanyl is going down as we secure the border. As far as interior enforcement operations, We've arrested more criminals in the first two months of the Trump administration than Joe Biden did all last year. So our numbers look good on the interior. I want more.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's Driving the Democrat Death Spiral?
I'm happy the numbers are high, but we need more. So I'm asking ICE to target more people, increase the targeting, and remove more public safety threats out of this country. Boston was a great operation, but we need more.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's Driving the Democrat Death Spiral?
My side, you know, I've talked to the highest levels of ICE. I talked to the officers that are involved with that manifest and putting those targets together. They guarantee me that every one of the Venezuelans I've fought with is a TDA member. Doesn't surprise me that any family member of TDA are going to say they're not TDA because they certainly don't want them in El Salvador in prison.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's Driving the Democrat Death Spiral?
But look, this was based on a lot of investigative work. Anything from scraping social media to surveillance to intelligence briefings to criminal investigations, just because a gang member doesn't have a criminal record doesn't mean they're not a gang member, just as most terrorists in this world aren't in any terrorist database.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's Driving the Democrat Death Spiral?
So I'm going to believe the men and women who do this for a living before I believe any member of TDA. I've been told they're all members of the TDA. TDA has been designated a terrorist organization. MS-13 has been designated a terrorist organization. Everybody on those flights are terrorists that were removed from this country. President Trump keeping his promise to the American people.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's Driving the Democrat Death Spiral?
It pisses me off because you're talking about the men and women of ICE who strap a gun to the hip every day, put a badge on their chest and put themselves in harm's way every day to protect this public, to remove public safety threats and national security threats from the streets of this country. To compare them to the Nazis, for God's sakes? Are you kidding me? To the annihilation of the Jews?
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's Driving the Democrat Death Spiral?
That's an insult to everybody that wears... That should be an insult to every American, to compare what ICE does every day to Nazis. It's incredible what's coming from a judge. These people, a lot of these people on these flights had due process because some of them were Title VIII, were removed to Title VIII. They already got removed by a federal judge. But the terrorists...

What's Driving the Democrat Death Spiral?
to the Alien Enemies Act, a law that was enacted by Congress and signed by a president. We're enforcing the law on the books. We're not making this up. President Trump, by proclamation, took the steps he could take to remove terrorists from the country as quick as possible, and that's exactly what we did.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's Driving the Democrat Death Spiral?
So I'm shocked but not surprised that somebody would say something like that, but it's disgusting.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's Driving the Democrat Death Spiral?
No, she's not. Look, I'm a native New Yorker, born in New York, raised in New York, went to college in New York. I got a home in New York, and she's an embarrassment to the position she holds. She's lying. First of all, we don't need a warrant. Under an Immigration Nationality Act, we go with administrative warrant. She's talking about a criminal warrant.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's Driving the Democrat Death Spiral?
No, the Congress says in federal law, all of these administrative warrant, she won't honor them. And here's a woman who says, a governor who says, well, we want to help. She stood on national TV after illegal aliens Benzo Williams beat up NYPD.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's Driving the Democrat Death Spiral?
She stood on national TV after a woman was burned alive by an illegal alien on a subway, making a statement that I believe criminal aliens should be deported too. And what's the first thing she did? She flew down into New York and tried to remove Mayor Adams, who wants to work with ICE, getting us to Rikers Island. Rikers Island is where they hold criminal illegal aliens.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's Driving the Democrat Death Spiral?
He wanted to remove them because he wants to work with ICE to go on to Rikers Island. So she's speaking on two sides of her mouth. She believes in sanctuary policy. She ought to go talk to citizens in upstate New York, like Buffalo and Syracuse, where illegal aliens have killed young girls, American citizens. Again,
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's Driving the Democrat Death Spiral?
she's an embarrassment to the position she holds and she needs and i just you know i was up in new york just two weeks ago called her out a press conference but her misstatements law enforcement the cops the law enforcement the guys working the front line they want to work with us because they know not only can we remove the public safety threats from the community we can move them from the country which means law enforcement officers don't have to rescue an illegal alien five or six times over and over again which means they spend more time on public safety issues
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's Driving the Democrat Death Spiral?
So absolutely, she's lying to the American people. She's lying to the taxpayers in New York.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's Driving the Democrat Death Spiral?
First of all, Pam Bonney's already suing some of these sanctuary cities. I think she's going to sue a lot more. But in the meantime, we're going to keep coming. They're not going to stop us from doing what we're doing. I'll tell you the same thing I said in New York at the press conference in New York about HOCO. You want to embrace these sanctuary policies?
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's Driving the Democrat Death Spiral?
Will you knowingly release a public safety threat illegal alien back into the public? That's just plain stupid. But if you keep doing that, what does that mean? That means we send more ICE officers to your communities. That means more collateral arrests get made. The big thing they keep saying, well, you're arresting non-criminals. No kidding.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's Driving the Democrat Death Spiral?
If you want to release a public safety threat criminal back in the community, it means I got to send agents in the community to find him. When we find him, most likely he's with other illegal aliens. It may not be a criminal investigation. be a criminal convicted or a public criminal threat. However, they're in a country of legal. Well, guess what? We're not going to tell ICE to turn a blind eye.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's Driving the Democrat Death Spiral?
They're going to enforce the laws. They've been took an oath to enforce. We're going to arrest those collateral illegal aliens. So sanctuary city is going to get exactly what they don't want. More officers in the community and more collateral risk because you force us in the community. And if you are a sanctuary city is concerned, we'll double the manpower there.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's Driving the Democrat Death Spiral?
We're not going to stop doing what we're doing. American people gave President Trump a mandate. His number one issue was illegal immigration, border security and removing the worst of the worst. And that's what we're doing. And no one's going to stop us.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's Driving the Democrat Death Spiral?
That plane was full of people designated as terrorists, number one. Number two, every Venezuelan migrant on that flight was a TDA member based on numerous criminal investigations, on intelligence reports, and a lot of work by ICE officers.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's Driving the Democrat Death Spiral?
Matter of fact, two days after that flight took off, I even had a discussion with the acting director of ICE, and he reiterated that every person, every person that went on that plane was a known member of the TDA.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's Driving the Democrat Death Spiral?
Well, as far as Mayor Wu and her comments, you know, well, we got 370 of them and we're coming back. We're going to come back again and again and again to remove public safety threats from Boston and from Massachusetts. And the governor and the mayor can say what they want. We're going to keep coming. As far as Congress, we need money, Charlie. We need money to buy more beds.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's Driving the Democrat Death Spiral?
We need money for more flights. The more money we have. the more we can do. Look what we've done already. Border crossing down, like I said, 96%. We're arresting three times more people than Joe Biden did in the same time period. But we got a lot of public safety threats. Last count, about 700,000 final order public safety threats. We need to find these people, but it takes money.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's Driving the Democrat Death Spiral?
It takes money to do operations. It takes money to detain them. It takes money to transport them and fly them out of the country. So Congress needs to come to the table and fund this mandate for the president. We're going to keep the president's promise. But again, the more resources we have, the more successful we're going to be.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's Driving the Democrat Death Spiral?
Thank you. Thank you for doing what you're doing, Charlie. I appreciate you.

There are thousands of, tens of thousands of people in the world that really are escaping fear and persecution from the Holman government because of race, religion, political affiliation, that are sitting in the back seat.

No, it's been discussed. It's an option. We're looking at what the pros and cons are. But you're right. It would save the taxpayers some money. And there are other things, you know, helping them get their affairs together, you know, given a window of 30 days, the non-immigrants, non-criminals to put their affairs together and supply transportation back to their homeland.

The Megyn Kelly Show

This has been done, billions and billions of dollars being sent to these countries to create opportunity zones so that people don't feel like I leave the country, come back. That money doesn't get where it needs to go because of corruption of government officials and so forth. So that needs to be drilled down on the Department of State. We're talking about this.

We know they're here. It's not a guess. We got images. Over 2 million people crossed the border and got away. They paid more to get away. They didn't pay the cartels less money because cartels were charged one fee to get to the border. You see a green uniform, turn yourself in, cartel's job ends.

Well, if you want to get away, you want to get to New York, Chicago, or into the United States without being arrested or processed, that costs a hell of a lot more money. So the American people need to ask themselves, why did 2 million people pay more to get away?

And terror watch list suspects being arrested on the border. Under Trump administration, four years, we had 14. There were 400. And that's just the Southern border. So... It's a huge national security vulnerability, so I think DOD is doing exactly what they should do. It's a national security issue. They need to secure this country and protect our national security.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Next Deportation Actions, RFK's Nomination Battle Ahead, and New Baldoni Audio, with Tom Homan, Mark Halperin, and Dan Turrentine | Ep. 993
And so I said from day one, they're a great asset, right, because they can do things that don't require an immigration authority, immigration officer that has a badge and gun. Transportation, for instance. We can take ICE officers who have immigration enforcement authority out of a bus or out of a plane and Let DOD do that.

Next Deportation Actions, RFK's Nomination Battle Ahead, and New Baldoni Audio, with Tom Homan, Mark Halperin, and Dan Turrentine | Ep. 993
That releases more immigration officers to the streets, the rest of the bad guy. They can help us with infrastructure. Down there in Constantino, we're having border barriers. They're doing denial of entry. So they're being a great asset. I've done this since 1984. I started in Borbato since 1984. This weekend, for the first time in my life, I saw an Army plane

a military plane, removing inland and southbound.

And as I said earlier, when President Trump has You know, illegal immigration on 90%. How many women weren't being raped? How many Americans didn't die from fentanyl? How many women and children were in sex trafficking? And they unleashed it.

And I knew when Biden became president, I knew he was going to destroy everything we did, the most secure border in my lifetime, and open it up, which means more women are going to be raped, more Americans are going to die, more rapes, more sexual slavery. So I've been angry for four years that any commander in chief would come into office and unsecure a border on purpose.

I worked for six presidents starting with Ronald Reagan. Every president I worked for, even Clinton Obama, took steps to secure the border. They clearly understood you can't have national security if you don't have border security. Joe Biden's the first president in the history of the nation who came into office and unsecured the border on purpose. So I was four years pissed off.

The night of the election, I wasn't more alive with the president. That's the first morning I woke up excited that we're going to save lives. And I couldn't wait to get back. Matter of fact, when the president did call me, I was the first person he called. I think I was his first election. He called me up. His first words were, No, you've been bitching about it for four years.

Exactly right. Look, ICE is really good at this. These people don't want to be found, but there's ways to find them. I can't speak to the specifics because the law enforcement is sensitive, but they could have found these people last year, but the administration simply tied ICE's hands. And first time in the history of my career, starting back in 1984, ICE had handcuffs on them.

So President Trump, he kept his promise to American people. We cut ice loose day one. Day one, we're out there. And they're able to go arrest targets they could have arrested the last four years but weren't allowed to. But we've opened that aperture and they're out doing the job now.

Next Deportation Actions, RFK's Nomination Battle Ahead, and New Baldoni Audio, with Tom Homan, Mark Halperin, and Dan Turrentine | Ep. 993
Actually, I think it's going to be easier. The reason I say it's easier because criminals... They're street smart. They know how to hide. They know how to play the game. They don't cat and mouse game.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Next Deportation Actions, RFK's Nomination Battle Ahead, and New Baldoni Audio, with Tom Homan, Mark Halperin, and Dan Turrentine | Ep. 993
But as we open that aperture up, as we look for the 1.4 million illegal aliens in this country who had due process at great taxpayer expense, they've been ordered removed by federal judge, but simply didn't leave. They're not as street savvy as the criminals are. So I think the arrest will increase as the aperture widens.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Next Deportation Actions, RFK's Nomination Battle Ahead, and New Baldoni Audio, with Tom Homan, Mark Halperin, and Dan Turrentine | Ep. 993
But again, we want to take every public safety threat, every gang member off the streets. So we're really concentrating on that right now. But the aperture will open and the operation will expand throughout the nation.

Over 600,000 illegal aliens are walking the streets of this country with a criminal conviction. So we have a big tranche that we need to go find. So there's no lack of business. And that is why President Trump's vision was all of government. That's why we have DOD with us standing shoulder to shoulder soldiers on the border. That's why we have DEA, FBI, ATF, U.S.

Marshals helping on these operations throughout the cities because the more resources we get from the other agencies, the more teams we can create. Each team, you only need one or two people with immigration enforcement authority, Title VIII authority, to actually make the arrest legally.

To arrest someone can be law enforcement officers that cover the back door, address officer safety concerns, because it takes a whole team to arrest somebody on their turf where they have access to who knows what weapons. So it's just exactly what we're doing. We're not hiding it. I mean, I've been talking about this since day one. We're out there. We're not going to apologize for doing it.

All the government approach, it makes sense. Especially, I just got back from Chicago. I actually was up there on that operation. And it was great to see. We find the alien with dope. We got DEA to prosecute his case. We found TDA members with guns. We get ATF to prosecute the case. And of course, ICE, they prosecuted their own immigration rather than re-entry at the deportation, which is a felony.

If I get to live in their minds rent-free, that's kind of cool. But look, the whole thing in Chicago, you got the governor Pritzker on social media. talking about ICE agents raiding an elementary school. And he says, I'm putting fear in the community? What a ridiculous statement to make.

As a governor, you think he'd make a phone call and ask on the truth on this because he's the one that's scaring the immigrant community. He's the one that's scaring children and thinking we're going to raid elementary schools. Look, I've made it clear. We have taken a sense of location policy and flushed it down the toilet. Why? Because ICE is the only law enforcement agency in the nation

who had these type of requirements. We can't operate in a hospital or a school or other central, a courthouse, for God's sakes, right? I've been in courthouses many times throughout my career, and I watched a father getting arrested in a courthouse for not paying child support, but you're not gonna let ICE in a courthouse arrest a public safety threat or a national security threat?

Totally ridiculous. And as I said last night during my interview with CNN, there is no safe harbor for a national security threat or public safety threat in this country. If they're on a college campus, we're going to go get them. If it's an MS-13 gang member that's sitting in a high school someplace and he's a significant public safety threat, he's going to be arrested. So there's no safe harbor.

There's no sanctuary for criminals, public safety threats and national security threats in this country. And that's why we got rid of that sense of location policy. No one's going to raid a school. No one's going to raid a hospital. But we will make arrests when we need to on a significant case.

No, they don't owe me an apology. They owe the men and women of ICE an apology. It's like I hear last night, I forget who it was, talking about the Holocaust and connecting us with the Holocaust.

enacting laws and passing laws they don't want to enforce. Not only are they enacting the laws that tell ICE what to do, they're budgeting. They give us the money to do that. So they owe the men and women of ICE an apology. Because men and women of ICE put their lives on the line every day across this country.

They put a gun on their head, they wear a Kevlar vest, they're out there taking on the bad guys. And it's already a dangerous job. With sanctuary cities, it's even more dangerous, because now, rather than arresting The bad guy in a jail where we know he doesn't have weapons, we know it's a safe transfer.

So all the risks that these ICE agents take and all the other agencies that are involved, DEA, FBI, ATF, the rest of them, they deserve the apology because if they did anything in Chicago, I was there. We didn't scare children. We saved children.

At the last count, when I left that command center, we had like seven sexual predators, mostly child sexual predators, that we took off the streets of Chicago. So ICE protected children.

Well, there's a lot of plans in the works. I'm working on a lot of plans, a lot of strategies. But we've got to bring, like I said, the whole government to the table, right? We've got 3,000 sheriffs across this country that we can easily delegate authority, give them 287G authority, both the jail model and the task force model. That is a huge force multiplier, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Next Deportation Actions, RFK's Nomination Battle Ahead, and New Baldoni Audio, with Tom Homan, Mark Halperin, and Dan Turrentine | Ep. 993
So if we can give them 287G authority and they can act as ICE agents. Every county in this country, those deputies could not only arrest illegal aliens based on a database check thing and simply run through our law enforcement support center, they can actually do 287G jail models, which means everybody that goes books in the jail. That's what 287G is. It's colorblind.

Every person that's booked into jail, if I get arrested and I get booked into jail, my prints will be run through NCIC. At the same time, they're running against DHS databases. So if I have any history with it, Border Patrol or ICE, it's going to pop up. And if the 287G train facilities, they can actually process that person, hold them for immigration holdings. and we can arrest them.

So we can certainly expand immigration enforcement throughout the country. That's one plan. Another plan is we need to be out there messaging to the illegal immigrant community that, look, if you're in the country illegally and you haven't received a deportation order yet, or you haven't been arrested yet, you need to leave the country. Because if you don't,
The Megyn Kelly Show

If we have to put you in the court and get a formal order removal, there's a bar that's put on you. So whether it's from anywhere from five to 20 years that you can't reenter this country, you can't get a business visa, you can't get a tourist visa. If you have a U.S. citizen child here, he can't petition for you. So you are locked out.

So if you're here illegally and don't have an order of removal yet, leave. Do things the right way. If you have a U.S. citizen child, they can petition for you down the road. But we need to keep pushing that message out. We also at South Depot, we need to push worksite enforcement.

Number one reason they cover it, look, 9 out of 10 people that come to the board that claim asylum, 9 out of 10 is actually 86.7%. People that claim asylum at the border will get an order of removal because they simply don't qualify for asylum. They're coming here for a job or a better life. And I get that.

But they're not escaping fear and persecution from their home government because of race, religion, political affiliation. So that 9 out of 10 are here for a job. Worksite enforcement, we're going to hit that hard. So we're going to arrest a lot of people at worksites. We need I-9s. We need to e-verify and I-9 enforcement. Congress needs to get to the table.

I'm not going to share all that with you, but whether it's through social media, through the activities, through the criminal records here and abroad. So this has done a very... The review of this issue was at the highest level I've seen. And I think, again, I stand by everything we did this weekend.

Trump Suffers Badly as It All Backfires on Him
And I think the president keeping his promise to the American people. We removed terrorists from the country this weekend. I can't believe any media would question the president's ability to remove terrorists from this country.

Trump Suffers Badly as It All Backfires on Him
We made a promise to American people. The president Trump has made a promise to American people. We're going to make this country safe again. I wake up every morning loving my job because I work for the greatest president in the history of my life, and we're going to make this country safe again. I'm proud to be a part of this administration. We're not stopping. I don't care what the judges think.

Doesn't make, don't mean anything anymore. Take the border, draw off the border because there's no consequences for entering this country illegally. We'll give you due process, but when you're order removed, you're going to be removed. Or if we don't, we send the message to the whole world. You can enter the country illegally, which is a crime.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
You can see a judge or not see a judge, get an order removal. No one's looking for you. And that's what the Democrats are doing on this administration. They have overwhelmed the system. released the millions of this country. Immigration, the court doc has pushed back seven, maybe as much as nine years, like in New York. By that time, when they get an order removal, they got two or three U.S.C.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
kids, right? And everybody's complaining, you can't remove that guy. He's got three U.S.C. kids. When I was vice director, I got calls from Republican senators. Why'd you remove that person? He has two U.S.C. children. Well, he didn't have two U.S.C. children to enter the country legally. He didn't have two U.S.C. children. You got calls from Republican senators? Oh, absolutely. They're the worst.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
And I said, I said, well, What's my option? He had due process, a great taxpayer expense. He was already moved by a federal judge. The option is a slight mistake, and if we're going to do that, how many more do you want to stay? Then we've got to send a clear message. We're in national laws. You get already moved, you're going to be removed. If not, we send a message to the whole world.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Enter illegally, commit a crime, go have a U.S. citizen child, and you're off the hook.

Well, we know that we can document over 10 million, I count it as 10.5, that we can document that. then we can document over two million gotaways, right? These are known gotaways. What is a known gotaway? These are people we capture an image on drone video.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Well, absolutely. Look at what the Martha's Vineyards did. They put them on there.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Governor Abbott done more to secure this border than anybody in this administration. Guy's great. DeSantis is the same. Do you know who first came up with the idea of busing people to sanctuary cities? It was President Trump. I remember sitting in the Oval Office one time. He said, why don't we do that? So we started putting plans together.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
But the Remain in Mexico program was such a game changer, we couldn't fill a bus up if we wanted to. So we beat the problem before we actually got to that.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
10.5 have been encountered. Over two, we know they're a gotaway because there's a... We captured on drone traffic, video traffic, or sensor traffic, and Borg chose over one that couldn't respond. So we know there was at least 12.5 million people at that border.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
You know, moving the illegal aliens right outside of the vice president Kamala Harris' residence, that was a game changer, too. So I think not only those who... How about the politicians who are pushing back against any form of enforcement of our border laws?
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Oh, absolutely. As I said earlier, they're like a Fortune 500 company. They're well-financed. They're diversified in their funding. And look... I've seen a lot of intelligence reports. They have access to military-grade weapons. They'll take the Mexican military on, the Mexican law enforcement. They do all the time. And it's just not my opinion.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
They have control, operational control over the southwest border. And I've talked to chief patrol agents who agree with me. They've lost operational control of the southwest border. One chief patrol agent used the term broken arrow. I was on the phone the one time. He goes, Tom, I can't contain what's coming across. I'm lucky I'm catching 10% of it.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
The criminal cartels, knowing this administration caused this huge humanitarian crisis and overwhelmed the border, as we discussed earlier, and whatever assets is left on the border, left to patrol, The criminal cartels, you think 100 family units or 200 family units show up accidentally at the same place at a certain time? No, the cartels control that.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
They'll send a group to one area, knowing whatever left on the border was seized to that humanitarian crisis, right? They have to go deal with that. They create gaps in the system. That's when they move the fentanyl that's killed a quarter million Americans. That's why sex trafficking is up 600%. The cartels... They create gaps in our system, and that's where they operate.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
And for the Democratic representatives up on Hill saying, well, most fentanyl comes through the port of entry. That's just a bunch of garbage. Most fentanyl is seized at a port of entry because every vehicle stopped, and based on the CBP targeting system, which is law enforcement sensitive, and based on the responses to the questions, chances are they'll get secondary and they'll find some things.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Between the port of entry, we're maybe touching 10%. So if I'm a criminal cartel, I'm going to use a route of least resistance. I know my vehicle is going to be stopped at a port of entry. Will it be secondary or not? I don't know. But between a port of entry with 70% of the agents off the line, that's when I'm going to move my product. I mean, it's not rocket science.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Just right over the open border. Absolutely.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
It's a historic number, which is one of the reasons why I wake up pissed off every day because we went for the most secure border in my lifetime. I started in 1984. I was a board trail agent. I worked for six presidents.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
and they're going to auction it off. And now, you know, Texas is talking about buying it back. Shouldn't have to buy it back. We bought it once before, right? This administration's out. They're out in a couple more weeks. Why would they continue to set us up for failure? That's what they're trying to do, right? President Biden's signing all these secular borders.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
They want to sell the border product. I thought the American people on election day gave this country a clear mandate. They want to secure a border. But this administration's going to stop it. They won't stop at anything to slow us down. It's not going to slow us down. We're going to get that border wall finished.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
But the mere stupidity of selling the stuff on pennies on the dollar, every taxpayer should be... What's an act of hate toward the country? Of course. Well, I've said it many times. They hate Trump more than they love the country. For sure.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
I used to respect him. Under President Obama, I got a presidential rank award under President Obama because I oversaw the removal of well over a million aliens during that three-year period. Mayorkas actually accompanied me on operations in New York City, targeting criminal aliens and illegal aliens, both. Jay Johnson approved the family operation.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
A lot of families were coming across during the Obama administration. And I told Jay Johnson, look, nine out of 10 of these families are going to be already removed. Are we going to remove them? He said, absolutely. Jay Johnson stood by that. Ali Mayorkas, Alejandro Mayorkas went on operation with us. He backed me up on it a lot.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
The main thing we disagreed on is the transgender policy where you wanted special treatment for transgenders in ICE detention. I was ordered to sign that policy.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
I was a board trail agent in Campo, California, San Diego sector.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Making sure they're identified as being a transgender, they're protected in our facilities and separated and get medical attention whether it's hormone therapy or whatever it was.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
And we got in a huge argument over that, and I was ordered to sign a memo, and that's kind of where I had fallen out.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
You'd be surprised how many we run across. And they just, you know, they wanted certain protections for them in our facilities. Well, Alejandro Mayorkas went and operated with me. He shook hands with officers who were enforcing the immigration law. I remember we went to New York City on a huge operation, arrested a lot of illegal aliens.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
But to go from the most secure border of my lifetime under President Trump, based on data, right? That's just my opinion. That's data. Go from the most secure border of my lifetime to historic illegal immigration in one administration. That's by design. That's not mismanagement. That's by design. What do you think the goal was? You know, I ask that a lot. Why would anybody open a border up?
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
And when he was nominated to be secretary, I thought, okay, we're in the middle of this crisis again, right? He knows how we stopped it. We stopped it by building detention facilities, including family residential centers, you know, the so-called cages, right? He knew how we stopped it.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
We stopped by building more detention facilities, detaining people, making them have a hearing, because if you're in detention, you have a hearing within like 35 days. Nine out of 10 lost. We put them in an airplane, sent them home, and the board of numbers tanked. So I'm thinking, okay, he knows how to fix it. He might be able to do this job. He got into the job, it's a complete 180.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
I don't recognize him anymore. He's about not enforcing law. One of his first instructions to ICE is that being in the country illegally on its own is not enough for you to go make an arrest. You gotta wait till they're convicted of a serious criminal violation.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
It's illegal. I mean, the Fifth Circuit judge, a federal judge in the Fifth Circuit said not only are they ignoring the law, they're actually violating the law. Again, that's when we need to hold these people accountable in the incoming administration. I believe they violated the law.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Well, they went through the impeachment proceedings, and I said at the time, I think we had five or six Republican congressmen that didn't vote for impeachment. I couldn't believe it. And I thought they lost the right to be a congressman at that point. I mean, if they can impeach President Trump for making a phone call, you can't impeach Alejandro Mayorkas for what he did to this border?
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
The biggest national security vulnerability this nation's ever seen? Look, me and Christopher Wray, I'm not a friend of his. I don't really respect the man much, but he agrees with me that the border has become the biggest vulnerability this nation has ever seen. He sees more red flags than ever before, and they continue with the open border, even to this day after the election.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Now they're going to sell border wall material that we're going to need, and day one we're getting in there. The illegal behavior, the treasonous behavior of this administration has not stopped.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
You know, as an agent since 1984, I think we study people. That's what we do. Either he fooled me under the Obama administration that he actually believed in enforcement. Either I was hoodwinked and just thought he was behind enforcement or he always felt that way. And just he played the role under the Obama administration.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Then when he came back, he actually did what he always truly believed and opened borders. I know the NGOs and he has a very close relationship. He worked with some NGOs before he came back. So I don't know what happened. All I know is a man who I once respected, I have zero respect to now because of what he's did. Again, not because of incompetence. This is by design.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
They knew exactly what they were doing because he'd been there before. He knows how we shut it down. He knows how we secure the border at a high level. Not as high as Trump. We secure the border at a pretty good level. He did everything he could to unsecure the border, which is a complete 180.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
He's lying under oath, which is a felony too. If I lie under oath, you don't think they, they would love to prosecute me for lying under oath.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
He's lied many times. One of the biggest statements he made was, for those who don't immediately qualify for asylum, they'll be immediately removed. Really? You've got the lowest number of removals in the history of ICE. At the same time, you have historical immigration.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
I think Joe Biden's the first president in American history who came into office and unsecured a border. I worked for, you know, six presidents. Obama and Clinton took steps to secure the border because they understood you possibly can't. There's no way you can have strong national security.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
So, you know, you're supposed to have a hearing a couple weeks ago, and I asked a couple of congressmen to ask that question again. Well, there's a lot of anti-Trump, anti-Homan rhetoric out there that we shouldn't have a mass deportation operation. Do you stand by the statements you've made numerous times that if they don't qualify, they need to be removed?
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
because you can also help send a message to the American people, we're doing this deportation operation, it has to be done, and you said it. Would you say that again? Of course, him and Ray backed off the hearing, never had the hearing, but for the American people, we don't, here's my biggest issue, I read it every day, racist, inhumane, to have a mass deportation operation.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
We just went through four years of historical immigration, again, we're nine out of 10 to get order removal. We don't have a choice. That's the way the law is set up. They lose the case, they're going home.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
That's exactly what they think. I was up in Chicago last week. I met with hundreds. I met with black pastors. Black pastors are upset. Yeah.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Yeah, they feel like, you know, people who are not supposed to be here enter the country illegally, which is a crime. I'm going to keep talking about that. Are getting massive amounts of care, right? Free hotel room, three square meals a day, free medical care.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
And the black community feels left behind because a lot of these people are, you know, they could use some of that tax money in Chicago to help them. And they're taxpayers. They should have the first chance to get some of that help. But the mayor of Chicago, he's ignoring his own community. And I was up there just over a week ago, and I met with hundreds of people that were up there.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
If you're on border security, you need to know what's coming, who's coming in, where it's coming in, why it's coming in. Joe Biden's first president came into office and unsecured the border. And people ask me all the time why. I think they see a future political benefit. I think they think these people will be future Democratic voters, number one.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
And they're suffering because of the decisions to take care of these illegal aliens. I mean, I saw city transit buses parked running fuel as warming buses. How about taking care of the homeless people in that city? Let them get on a warming bus. Of course.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
But they'd rather put these illegal aliens in a hotel room at 500 bucks a night in the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City and give them three meals a day and give them free medical care rather than take care of their own people. We got homeless vets. You've been to Washington, D.C. many times. Less than a mile from the Capitol, you got homeless vets living in tents.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
They don't have a free hotel room. They don't get a hot shower. They don't get three squares a day. They don't have access to free medical care. But you got people who are in the country illegally, you got all that stuff.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
And then the violence in these communities, and we're trying to address the violence. Mayor Adams finally gets it, I think, and we'll see what he actually does. But you got the mayor of Chicago. Chicago, the crime rate is extremely high in Chicago, right? We know the shootings are outrageous. And what we're saying to him, President Trump and myself have been very clear.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
We want to prioritize those illegally in the country that are public safety threats. That's what we want to target first, because they're the most dangerous to our community, public safety threats and national security threats.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Why would any elected mayor of a city with a crime rate as high as they have not want public safety threats taken out of their communities, especially if they're here illegally? You would think the mayor of Chicago's number one responsibility is the safety of his community. Why not help me take those public safety threats out of the community?
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
ICE agents aren't allowed to take a step into Cook County Jail, one of the biggest county jails in the country, where we used to get hundreds of illegal alien criminals out. We can't even step foot in that. They won't honor an ICE detainer. They'd much rather release that public safety threat back in the community to re-offend, and where is he likely to re-offend?
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
the immigrant community where he lives.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Two, but we don't even have to get there, right, Tucker? I mean, when Biden signed over nine executive orders, getting rid of everything we did, he also overturned the Trump census rule, where millions of illegal aliens will be counted in all these sanctuary cities, which is going to result in more seats in the House for the Dems and reproportionate seats in the House.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
And that's why I've been out there taking a lot of hate the last three weeks saying, okay, well.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Yeah. which I'll wear as a badge of honor. I've been out there saying one thing to the mayor of Denver, right? To the mayor of Chicago and to Governor Pritzker and the rest of them, you cannot help, you can choose not to help us, stand aside, because we're going to do it. However, there's a line you can't cross. If you're going to impede what we're doing, That's a felony.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
If you're going to annoyingly harbor and conceal an illegal alien from ICE agents, USC 1324-III, that's a felony. And we will prosecute. We're done playing the game. There are federal statutes on the books, written by Congress, enacted by Congress, signed by a president, said this is a felony to do these things, and we're going to take that seriously.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
And we got a strong AG coming in, Pam Bondi, I think will back me up on this. You can sit aside and watch us do your work for you. Fine, you do it. But here's the message. No one's asking you to be immigration officers. What we're asking is give us access to the taxpayer-funded jail where you already locked somebody in a jail cell because apparently they're a public safety threat.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
When you're done with them, simply give them to us. And we're removing not only from the community, from the country. Because when you don't, and here's what they're going to get. They're going to get exactly what they don't want by taking this stance.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
You don't let me into jail to arrest a bad guy where one agent can arrest a bad guy in a safety and security of a county jail where we know he don't have access to weapons. You're going to release him back in the community. You're endangering the community, the immigrant community, because most likely to reoffend in that community.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
You're endangering our officers and you're endangering that alien because things could happen when you make an arrest in a public setting. We have access to who knows what weapons, right? Yeah. So what's Tom Holman going to do? We're going to send more agents to the community. We're going to find a guy. So that means I got to send a whole team to the community to find him.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
We send a team because of officer safety concerns. I'm going to send a whole team to find him. When we find him, he's probably going to be with others. Others are not necessarily an operational priority, but guess what? ICE agents aren't going to be told to turn their back on any illegal handling. So we're going to find the bad guy and anybody else around him.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
So by your actions of not letting me in that county jail means more agents in your neighborhood, a lot more agents in your neighborhood, and a lot more arrests and many non-priority arrests. You want to play the game, we're going to play the game. That's the result you're going to get. But I can't believe to this day that any elected governor, Governor Pritzker says, you got to come through me.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Okay, no problem. We can do that. Why would you not want to help remove public safety threats? I mean, this should be no question. You're going to have your opinion on illegal immigration. We're talking about criminals.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Oh, yeah. I think President Trump, when he gets back in, when he needs to establish the other census rule, illegal animals should not be counted in the census.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
President Trump administration will not put up with it. And that's why I've been sending a warning shout out. This is not going to be tolerated. We're going to take action. American lives are at stake here. And, um, This president, I think, has been given a mandate by American people. Apparently, the results of the election has no influence on many of these people.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Mayor Adams reached out to me, and I actually went to Mayor Adams. He understands it, and I think he realizes that we're taking it seriously. Eric Adams from New York reached out to you. Reached out to me. Good for him. I went and sat down and met with him. He believes he should take public safety threats out of his communities, too. He's offering to help us.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
He's offering to let me in the Rikers Island Jail. We've been kicked out of Rikers Island Jail for years. Again, we used to arrest hundreds of illegal animals with criminal convictions there. Eric Adams says he's going to go as far as writing an executive order to get us back in Rikers Island because he agrees with me that Mary de Blasio did a lot of harm.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
that affected the public safety in New York City. So he's getting a lot of pushback from the city council. I saw him the other day. He says, you know, you can cancel me if you want, but this is the right thing to do for public safety in New York. He also said he would assist me in finding over the 300,000 missing children, which many of them are going to be in New York City.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Exactly. I think President Trump will reinstitute the game-changing policies he had during the first administration so we can secure the border. We did it before. This time we're going to finish the job.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
I absolutely do. Yes. And when I sat down with him, It was all about public safety. Other stuff never came up. The cop in him came out. And look, I've been calling him out for two years, saying he forgot what it's like to be a cop and became a politician. He's not helping with this crisis. But when he reached out to me, I sat down with him.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Do you know? I don't have it off the top of my head, but I know the number, depending on what sector you look at, is 600 to 800% increase on the northern border. specifically in upstate New York where I grew up. And I still have a home up there. So I'm very familiar with that area. And I talk to Border Patrol chiefs up there all the time. Northern New York has a huge problem.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
I saw the, first time ever, I saw the cop, the career cop come out and said, look, this is, this is, this is, this shouldn't be controversial at all, Mr. Obama, I want to work with you on this. He goes, we're not going to be immigration officers. I'm not going to help you round up illegal aliens. I said, I don't want, I don't want to be an immigration officer.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
I want cops to work with cops to remove public safety threats. He gets it.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
and uh he says he's going to take some executive actions and so i hope he does because that's going to make new york city much safer not only for the community but for my officers yeah my biggest threat is you're going to force us in the community arrest bad guys when we could arrest them in a safety and security of a jail that puts our guys at great risk so uh and the same with the border patrol agents the criminal cartels can be put out of business by president trump which means the violence is going to rise on the southern border
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
And these men and women, they're going to put their lives on the line every day. Again, I can't believe any politician, left, right, middle, would want to put these officers at risk when there's a better way to do this. When I first started in this game back in the 1980s, I never heard a word of Sanctuary City. We got in every county. Everybody worked there. I can't believe we're at the time now.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
My father was a cop. My grandfather was a cop. Your grandfather was a cop? Yeah. I knew I was going to be a cop.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
In upstate New York. So... In my day, cops were respected. Police officers were respected. Now, fast forward now, and these politicians, if you enforce law, all of a sudden you become the bad guy. And if you break the law, you're the victim. That's truly the way it is in some of these cities.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
President Trump's going to take a hard stance. I think he'll take your, one of the things, take your federal funding away. I think that's going to bring a lot of people to the table because they need that money. And plus, I think it gets down to if they MP, if they normally harbor, I think we need to, you know, prosecute members.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
And, you know, I said this back, I said this when I was ICE director, that they don't need to be held accountable and DOJ needs to look at criminal prosecution. Of course, the media went crazy. Homan's calling to lock up politicians. What I called for is DOJ, if I'm not an attorney, but I, as an agent, many years ago, I have arrested United States citizens
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
for annoyingly harboring, concealing an illegal alien in their home. I arrested a US citizen for harboring, concealing an illegal alien in the place of business. If I can arrest a US citizen for violating those crimes, why can't I arrest the mayor or a governor who's given his staff explicit instructions to impede us and to hide from us?
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
I mean, the Mayor Adams came around the city, he would have the police force at the city boundaries preventing us from coming in, right? That was one of the comments he made. Now, he's walked in back because he made a statement he's willing to go to jail, and I responded, well, I'm willing to put you in jail if that's what it comes to.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
I'm not looking for a fight with these people, but I'm not going to run away from one either. We're going to enforce this law. We're going to do what the American people wants us to do. We're going to enforce the law. We're going to run this deportation operation. If you don't want to help, get the hell out of the way. But if you impede us... We need to prosecute these people and send a message.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
And the problem with northern border, a lot of SIAs come through the northern border. They can afford to fly to Canada and cross the northern border, which is wide open because there's a lot of border and very few agents. So a lot of Indians, a lot of Pakistanis, a lot of Turkish come through the northern border.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
This is no longer acceptable to anybody. Should never have been acceptable, but under the Trump administration, we're not playing that game.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
lake and riley would be alive today if we had a better relationship in new york city she was arrested he was a killer was arrested new york city for injury to child if we had the relationship we used to have they would have turned them over to ice ice would have detained them removed them yeah but instead he went to georgia and you know if if president trump was president
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
He wouldn't even be in the United States. He'd be in Mexico in the Remain in Mexico program, would have never been released into the United States, given a free hotel, given a monthly stipend for food and expenses. Free cell phone, airplane tickets. It's just incredible where we're at today. But I got full confidence in myself and in President Trump. And I'm working very close with Steve Miller.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Brilliant. The architect of the most successful border policy this country ever had.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
He's the deputy chief of staff.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
I'm a senior advisor to the president. Term. Borders are. Not my term, but that's what they nicknamed it. But I can guarantee you, Tucker, and to your listeners, this borders are... It's going to do a hell of a lot better than our last borders are. I've already been to the border three times, and I'm not even in the office yet.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
I don't know. I've talked to people in the intelligence community. Some think it's, some are from an Iranian ship, but I haven't got access to intelligence reports. I know one thing. Maybe the news is right. Maybe they're surveying, maybe they're all legal. I just find it hard to believe. I can't believe this administration has taken action on it.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
I guarantee you if President Trump was in the Oval Office, everyone would have blown out sky by now. I don't know factually because I don't see the intelligence reports. I'm not in yet. But I find it highly suspicious that the administration is saying they're all legal and lawful and that they pose no harm to the communities. I don't buy it.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
I do not know. I'm hoping they have. I mean, they should have, but I don't know. I just saw one congressman from New Jersey said he got information from...
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
iranian um summer yeah and i've also talked to friends in the intelligence community that off the record taught the same thing but i have no direct knowledge of it that's bizarre um by guarantee within a few days of trump get a white white house won't find out yeah i think that's uh i i believe that i believe that to be true um so of the so you've described i think really well the problem
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
We know right now we got over 1.7 million with final orders of removal already been ordered removed that haven't been removed.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
That's easy. We got 700,000, 780,000 illegal aliens with criminal convictions. They're going to be priority one. Then we got, you know, like I said, we got criminals, national security threats, and fugitives. These are the ones I talked at one point about. I think the last number was, of people who had due process, a great taxpayer expense order removed. They need to go. We'll find them.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Then we take the rest. I mean, everybody says, how many illegal aliens can you remove in a year? I don't know. I'll find out when I get into office, how many positions do I have? What does my money look like? How much money do I have to buy beds? Because we need detention beds. People don't understand, you don't arrest somebody and just deport them that day.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
We have to detain them and work out arrangements for their home country to get travel documents. And they have to accept that, yeah, they're a national of ours. And there's a process we go through anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. So we have to detain these people. So how many beds can I afford to buy? Because if I don't have beds, it's going to be hard to do this.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
How much money do you have for transportation contracts, whether over the ground or in the air? And can other agencies be involved? I know I specifically have requested that DOD be involved. They can do non-enforcement duty, What that does is, so the officers wearing a badge and gun with immigration authority, they shouldn't be driving a bus.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
They shouldn't be building infrastructure on the Southwest border south side of facilities. They shouldn't be doing the intelligence. They shouldn't be doing the targeting, right? As much non-enforcement work as possible, contract that out, have DOD do a lot of it, and that releases those badges and guns to the street where they're really needed. So what other agencies are involved?
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Is DOD going to be a part of this, take off the non-enforcement duties off our shoulders? So hopefully I'll find out really fast what we have. I know right now my source is at ICE. They're already $300 million in the hole. So I'm hoping Congress will provide us with huge funding through the conciliation process. That's my hopes. And I know I talked to Lindsey Graham yesterday. Or deportation.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Yeah, Lindsey Graham yesterday said he's working on an astronomical bill. It'll be more money than we've ever seen before. I hope that's true. I just don't want to be held up in this tax bill because that's going to take six or eight months and it gets watered down by the time we get it and it's just ridiculous.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
They're spending money defending the Ukrainian border, but it would be nice if they gave us just a piece of that action because they got a lot of money. I'm hoping – I'm praying that this is going to be different than the first Trump administration when he had the Senate and the House for the first two years. I'm hoping they come to the table and help this president succeed.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
So funding is paramount. We're only going to be as successful as the funding we're given to get this job done.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
You know, we're still looking into it. I think under the Trump administration, it needs to be an investigation on what happened, who was involved. I know I've had numerous conversations with Mark Green, who is the chairman of Homeland Oversight. He plans on having some oversight hearings on this, specifically when it relates to the NGOs.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Yeah, I believe I was.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Yeah, there's a lot of media outlets right now. I think they're trying to shame us in how expensive this operation is going to be. It's just incredible.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
First of all, what price do you put on national security? What price do you put on Lake and Riley's life and so many other little girls? It's going to be a cost savings for American people. Right now, we're spending billions of dollars on a free airline ticket, free hotel room, not even mentioning the cost of schools and trauma centers and hospitals and social services and perpetuity.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Yeah, it's going to be expensive.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
It'll be expensive. We're out of the gate. But in the long run, we're going to save American taxpayers billions of dollars by getting this country back to the rule of law.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Well, that's why president Trump won this election. He's put America first. That's why I can't look. This is the second time I came back from retirement. Uh, to serve this president because, like I said, I've been doing this a long time, and I'm at the point now where I wake up every day pissed off.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
The first day I woke up with a smile on my face was the day after the election because I knew we can fix this. I knew by fixing it, you save lives. Secure borders save lives, right? Even when you get 100% of the agents on the line doing their job rather than changing diapers, making baby forms, making hospital runs, more fentanyl Cs means less fentanyl deaths.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Less people, less gotaways, which means less sex trafficking on women and children, less known as suspected terrorists. Even the wall saves lives. And people say, oh, Trump's vanity wall. No, that's America's wall, first of all. Every place they build a border barrier, illegal immigration reduced, illegal drug flow reduced. What people don't want to talk about is how many lives it saves.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
The most vulnerable of those that come into the country, the women and children, can't get over that wall, which means they're going to a place where there's not a wall. And what's waiting on them? The men and women wearing that green uniform, the finest 1% this country has, who are going to take care of their medical needs first, because they're in a lot of bad shape when they get there.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
You know, I think they were complicit in a lot of this illegal immigration. And certainly the United Nations, we're south of our border working on this global illegal immigration to the United States. So I'm counting on the new Congress, which we now have control of both the House and the Senate, to conduct oversight hearings and hold people accountable.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Men and women in the border patrol save thousands of lives every year. Of course, the left wants to calm, you know, haters and stormtroopers and they want to, you know, slander the men in the horse patrol for what they did. And still no policy to stay. Men and women in the border patrol save a lot of lives. Border wall saves lives.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
And under the Trump administration, the number of deaths were very, very low. Both Americans and Americans. Illegal aliens. Under Joe Biden, I think we're just short of 4,000 aliens have died crossing the border. While you and I are talking right now, while you and I are having this discussion, women are being raped by members of the cartels as a part of the crossing through that border.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
A child's going to die today. Either drown in a river or be lost in the ditch or abandoned by these cartels. And they think that the government's getting close to them. They'll dump people and save their own skin and put these, look how many children have been abandoned at the border. Border patrols found a lot of them. I guarantee border patrol didn't find all of them.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
There's some toddlers they're going to find someday.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Yeah. Yeah, they worship death. Like, formally worship it, though. Yeah, yeah. There's... I won't call them religious. Some places, even the Texas DPS have found some of these places where the cartels were operating. They got statues, statutes there and memorabilia worshiping death as a consequence of not allowing them to do their business.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
I got a video on my phone. showing a member of the cartel skinning a man alive, skinning him alive on video to send a message to anybody. If you push back on the cartels, if you snitch on the cartels, they're not going to just kill you. They're going to make you suffer immensely.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
I got sent this video by someone in the intelligence community, and I'm a pretty tough guy, but I can't watch a whole video.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
When they skin somebody alive. and the pain that man went through. This is what they do. That's why MS-13, they don't just shoot somebody, they hack them up. Me and President Trump, remember when we did Operation Matador in Long Island, we arrested just short of 500 gang members and a lot of MS-13. During the press conference, President Trump referred to these people as animals.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
And of course, Nancy Pelosi arrested people as nuts. These are people he refers to as animals. She's an animal, actually. Then they came to me and I said, I don't know what President Trump has against animals. But animals kill to survive. MS-13 kills for pleasure. They're much worse than animals.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
So... But turning to Agua and the rest of them, they're on notice. There are days of coming over here and committing crimes and victimizing this country over. And a lot of people are pushing back, saying, well, you can't remove them to Venezuela. They're going to be removed. And if Venezuela don't take them, we'll send someplace south, but they're not staying here.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
There's no way, again, there's no way this is mismanagement or incompetence. This is by design. And do I think Joe Biden had the expertise to do it? No, I think someone's pulling his strings. So this is something that needs to be fully investigated. People need to be held accountable because- Oh, they need to go wreck the country.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
So, turning to Iowa, it's done a lot of harm in this country, as you know. The rape, murder of little girls, and the theft, and the organized crime they've instilled in major cities in this country. President Trump put them on notice. Our gang is bigger than their gang. I hope so. Take them out of business.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
It's a shame. I mean, DOD's helped a lot of administrations. They helped the Obama administration. They help the Clinton administration.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Well, I think we've proven that the Southwest border is a huge national security vulnerability. I think it's a perfect place for the military to be. Yeah, bigger than Syria, I would say. It's more of a national security vulnerability than Ukraine or Syria or anyplace else. So I think President Trump's not going to take no for an answer. He is the president of the United States.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
He's going to make this work. And DOD will be a part of this operation. We need him. We can make a bigger impact if they can do some of the things that don't require a badge and gun for us, and that puts more badge and guns on the street than the rest of the bad guys. They're an imperative part of this operation. Other agencies, when we need help from, you know, I'd like to see the U.S.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Marshals be a part of that, the FBI be a part of it. You know, I've gotten, I've actually shut down my LinkedIn account because I've gotten thousands of, thousands, Retired Border Patrol agents, retired ICE agents, retired police officers, retired military, all want to come back and help this operation.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
They created the biggest national security vulnerability this nation has ever seen. We got a record number of people on terrorist watch lists being arrested. We got 2.2 million people. And this is my biggest issue I brought up for the last two years. It's just not about illegal immigration anymore. You cause a crisis this big that overwhelms the border patrol,
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
And I'm hoping we can rehire a lot of these people, rehire the new ones, put these, you know, especially the retired Border Patrol and ICE agents. They know the Fourth Amendment. They know they can do and don't do. A lot of them speak Spanish. They know how to use the processing systems. They know the game. They're good at it.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
So one of the first thing I'm going to be working on is bringing a lot of these retired agents back and let them help us do this job. They're educated in immigration enforcement. They hit the ground running.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
181 different countries.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Mexican still, National Mexico still lead. Oh, really? Yeah. El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, close second. I mean, those four countries make up a majority. But what concerns me is the country that we never had much activity from. 46,000 Chinese. What's that? It scares the hell out of me because a lot of them are military age males.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
46,000 military age males don't leave China without the coordination approval of the Chinese government. That just don't happen. Russians, we got over, I think last look I have is 27,000 Russians. People from Turkey, Syria, Iran, Iraq. Big Africa, too. It's just... How many from Africa do you think? I don't have that on top of my head.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
But special interest countries, numbers like we've never seen before. And we can't properly vet them. That's one thing I've been screaming about for two years. Secretary of Minerals gets up there and says, they're all properly vetted. Vetted against what? Because we don't have criminal data from El Salvador or Turkey or Syria.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Do you think China's going to give us any national security data on their people or Russia? So you vet them against NCIC, which we have. So unless you've been convicted or arrested in this country before and your fingerprints were taken, you're going to come back clean because we don't have access to most countries' criminal data. A lot of these countries don't have criminal data, right?
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
You think Haiti has an NCIC? Absolutely don't. So they say they vet them and they don't vet them properly. And when it comes to terrorist vetting, Beyond the criminal vetting, how about terrorist vetting? You and I both know most terrorists in this world aren't in any database.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
where many times 70% of agents were pulled off the line dealing with this humanitarian crisis, right? Changing diapers, making baby formula, making hospital runs, doing that humanitarian mission, leaving 30% of our Homeland Security officials left secure in the border.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Unless they were part of a T3 operation or caught on chatter or encountered on a battlefield by a soldier and biometrics were taken, we don't know who they are or where they're at. And so even they say they vet them through these terrorist databases don't really mean a lot. But here's one thing that has been talked about a lot, and I've talked to several whistleblowers in Border Patrol,
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Well, look, we had a discussion that night, and he gave me three rails, three things he wants me to do. Number one is secure the border. Yeah. Shut the border down. Number two, run the biggest deportation operation this country's ever seen.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
So they arrest somebody from one of these countries, they vet them through the Bureau. But there'd been such a push by this administration, process quick, release quick, because there's nowhere we're crawling, there's nothing to see here, border secure. They process and release so quickly, sometimes the vetting came back after they released and they were hot.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
At least two occasions this has happened. ICE actually found one later on.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
They're a positive hit on the terrorist database. Person of interest. So that's going to change. I mean, we have to detain these people. The Trump administration won't end catch and release. Either you're going to be sent back to Mexico or we detain you. The only thing that I'm concerned with is the Zabados Supreme Court ruling. There's a ruling called Zabados versus U.S.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
that says you can only hold somebody up to six months for a significant likelihood of removal. So if we have a country that absolutely will not take them back, at the end of six months, we got a decision to make. Either we move them to a cooperating third country but we have to release them unless we can prove. Why not send them to Mexico? If they came through, why don't Mexico deal with it?
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
That's part of the plan. The Claudia lady deal with it. That's part of the plan, and we're hoping to do that. But the Zabadas ruling is terrible, and we're hoping that now we've got a better Supreme Court, that needs to be relitigated.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
To say we can only hold somebody for six months, and they're a significant public safety threat, just because this country says, no, we don't want them, there's got to be a better way.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Venezuela has.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
I don't think so. I think China, these people came here for a purpose. As you know, you've done a lot of reporting and they got land around military bases. They're setting up a shadow business here. I think China, between all these people they sent, plus continuing to create the precursors that make fentanyl, they're trying to destroy this country. That's my personal opinion.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
And what has the Biden administration done to China about creating these fentanyls that he sold to cartels in Mexico? What have they done about the cartels? Nothing. President Trump's going through.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
There was times in the last two years where 100%, 100% of border police were pulled off the line, such as in El Paso, because when they got overcrowded, this administration said, wait, we can't have overcrowding. That's a bad optic. So let's pull every agent off the line, process as quick as possible, release as quick as possible, because if there's no overcrowding, there's nothing to see here.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
I wonder it every day. I can't wait to get in powder and start drilling down these files. Who are these people who you release? What kind of vetting did you do? Did you take biometric, biographic data?
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
But it's been very, you know, they don't talk about it. And it's very, you know, but when we get in power, we're going to have to pull all those records. You know, like that's over 300,000 missing children. We got to pull those records from HHS.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
I've been told by whistleblowers.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Look, over half a million children have been trafficked into this country. And they get turned over to custody of HHS, Office of Refugee Resettlement, who finds sponsors and releases them to sponsors. I've talked to several whistleblowers who say they weren't even fingerprinting the sponsors on many occasions and not doing proper vetting.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
We have a whistleblower who's testified in front of Congress now three times. A lot of these children seem to be victims of trafficking. They're released to unvetted sponsors and many children will be released to one sponsor. The one whistleblower said there was 11 young girls released to one male, single male. Maybe it's all innocent, maybe it's not.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
No, and look, the CBP One app, they shut that down because of massive fraud. One of the insiders in CBP told me, for example, one dead man sponsored over 1,600 people. Been dead for years. Massive fraud, massive trafficking involved.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
And when they talked about opening CBP One app to do that, I said at the time, before they even implemented it, if you do this, it's going to create a huge trafficking network. Or if you're from Cuba, Nicaragua, Haiti, Venezuela, you wanna come to the United States under this CHNV program, you just gotta find a sponsor who wanna take care of you.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
How many sick pedophiles would be willing to sponsor anybody from one of those four countries to come live in the United States? Then after they get here, you own them. All you gotta do is use their official sponsor. Without you, they can't stay. And what are these, you know, sick sponsors, not all of them, but many of these are going to be predators and sick people.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
What are they going to do to these people who are trying to stay in this country? It's a huge human trafficking issue. I guarantee you.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Prostitution or forced labor, mainly those two things.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
The border's still secure. So when you overwhelm the border patrol, that's when all the bad things happen. That's when we got 2.2 million gotaways, right? That's when the fentanyl comes across to kill a quarter million Americans. That's why sex trafficking of women and children is up 600%. That's why the number of migrant deaths is at a historic high. So
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
We're not going to starting January 21st. Good. But I can tell you, look, of the over 300,000 this government lost track of, I guarantee you, as I sit here today, we'll find many in forced labor, we'll find many in forced sex trafficking. That's the sad thing, we won't find them.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
So that's why President Trump's saying, seriously, we gotta save, we gotta save these women and children that are put in this position. The immigration consequences will still come, but first we gotta save and get these kids, as far as the kids, over 300,000, we gotta save these kids. A lot of them are living the life of hell every day.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
And I guarantee you we're gonna find, HSI has already found some of these children in meat packing plants, cleaning up entrails on a midnight shift. We're gonna find some living with pedophiles. We're gonna find some are in sex slavery. Some are gonna be dead. But we gotta find these children, and President Trump made that a third rail of priorities. And it's something that needs to be done.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
This administration stopped the DNA testing. They stopped the proper vetting. Under the Trump administration, we were having the same problem in the beginning. We did DNA testing. You weren't a family unless DNA testing showed you're a family. And we did vetting. We didn't just vet the sponsor fully.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
We vetted everybody in their household to make sure there wasn't a pedophile living in that house, make sure there wasn't someone arrested with domestic violence in that house. This administration stopped all that because Becerra, the secretary of HHS, he gets on stage and brags And I saw him on a stage bragging how quick we released these kids from government custody. We got a machine here.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
It's like the Ford plant. We get them in and out of here. Yeah, because you stopped the proper vetting. You stopped DNA testing. And God help you for what you did to these children. Because a lot of these children are living the life of hell every day. So we got to find these kids. That's unbelievable.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Well, because I love my country, first of all. We made more progress on the southern border than ever before in the first Trump administration. I was vice director. I'm taking an 82% pay cut. Oh, I bet. And I'm going back to get my paycheck. And thank God my wife supports me.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
She said if I don't take the job, she's going to divorce me because she don't want to see me waking up every day mad at the world because I didn't come back.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
No, she's not. You know, I say this many times because of things I've seen in my career. I mean, I stood in the back of a tractor trailer. I grew up in a town of 2,500 people. Either you milk cows or you're a logger or you worked at Ford Drum. It's only three things you did where I grew up. So I grew up in town in 2500.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
I fast forward, I'm standing in back of a tractor trailer with 19 dead people at my feet that begged to death in back of that tractor trailer, including a five-year-old little boy who suffocated death. And on top of him was his father who was trying to protect him. During that investigation, they said that old boy begged his father not to let him die because he didn't want to see his mom again.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
This, what people call this innocent illegal immigration crisis, made a lot of bad things happen because the border patrol was strictly overwhelmed and couldn't do their national security.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Backed over and over again. Here's a five-year-old little boy who knew he was dying and asked his dad for help. And his dad can't help him, right? No. I've talked to little girls as young as nine that were raped multiple times by members of the cartel. Not once, numerous times. Grown men crawled upon this little girl, took everything innocent and pure from her. Her life would never be the same.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Look in her eyes. There wasn't life in her eyes. This little girl's devastated for life. And this happens every day. When they unsecure the border, on purpose. I wrote an op-ed for Fox News, and I says, if Joe Biden wins the presidency, we lose the border.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
And when you lose the border, trafficking, sex trafficking will skyrocket, child deaths will skyrocket, migrant deaths will skyrocket, American deaths will skyrocket from drugs coming across that border. I wake up ready to get pissed off for four years. And I've been on numerous networks complaining about it.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
So when President Trump calls me up, says, you've been complaining about it for four years. You want to come fix it? How do you say no? First of all, you don't say no to the president of the United States in Sacramento. I won't say no to secure. I love this country. I want to save some lives, secure borders, save lives. So I'm going to come back and do what I can.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
I guarantee you what we're going to do is going to save migrant lives. It's going to save American lives. It's going to protect our national security. That's why I'm coming back. Not for the pay. I'll tell you that. I'm coming back to this. After three and a half decades doing this job, do you understand it? Do you understand the tragedies that happen around it?
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
The more secure that border is, the more lives we save. So when I retire for the third time, I can say, I did my part to save some lives. And maybe less children are being exploited and women are being exploited by these cartels. And my number one goal is seeing these cartels wipe off the face of the earth. And I think President Trump's the guy to do it.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
I do not, but it's something that's going to be, I believe it should be investigated. I'm pushing people. I'm coming to the administration with it. We need to investigate it. Again, I've talked to numerous representatives on the Hill that swear they're going to have hearings on this. And we need to. American people need to know exactly what happened, who is responsible.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Well, the criminal cartels in Mexico, they were born out of the narcotics smuggling industry in Mexico, and they're powerful. Look, they're like a Fortune 500 company. This is not a gang anymore, right? Jalisco cartels, they're in over 45 countries of the world, right?
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
And third, he wants me to lead an effort to find the over 300,000 missing children that were trafficked into this country, and this administration cannot locate them.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
and not only are they responsible for moving narcotics in this country, they're currently in every major city in the United States, because not only are they smuggling the drugs in the United States, they're taking over the distribution within the United States, right? So, again... And I said this at the RNC, and President Trump agrees with me.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
These criminal cartels have killed more Americans than every terrorist organization in the world combined. And every war, more than the Second World War. So that's why they need to be designated terrorist organizations and wiped off the face of the earth. And it's going to take the United States to do it. Mexico has failed to do it, even if they tried to do it.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
The bottom line is much of the Mexican military, much of the Mexican law enforcement, much of the Mexican government is corrupt. That's just a fact.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Well, we are. President Trump has threatened terrorists, and the president seems to say she's going to help. We'll see if her actions match her words. But President Trump has a lot of power over Mexico. Look, the terrorists alone, Mexico needs us more than we need them, right? And look, I'm not saying every cop, every soldier, every politician in Mexico is corrupt, but many are.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
That's just a fact. When I was ICE director, we had vetted units we worked with. Law enforcement down there, we vetted them so we can work with them. But we didn't even tell the vetted units everything we know because we just couldn't be sure, right? But President Trump has a lot of leverage.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Remember, when I became board vice-president in 1984, one of my first assignments out of the academy was protecting a port of entry in Tecate, California, because we had a DEA agent that was tortured and murdered, Kiki Camerota. I think you remember that.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
And they wouldn't help us to identify and turn over the people responsible for it. Ronald Reagan shut down a port of entries. And what, it took him two days? All of a sudden, we know who committed the crime, and so President Trump can obviously do that. He can end all the visas now, end the tourist visas, the business visas.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
There's a lot of power he has over Mexico, and he needs, President Trump's willing to do whatever it takes to protect our sovereignty and to protect this country. And he's ready to do it. He proved it the first time, you know, when we made a Mexico program. Mexico didn't want to do that. 30 safe country agreements. Mexico didn't want to do that.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
They didn't want to put 10,000 military on their border. But President Trump threatened them with tariffs, and they came to the table.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
I'm 100% with you, and that's why I've been pushing for Mexico to come to the table and be accountable. It's against the law in Mexico to trafficking women and children, but they don't do anything about it. It's against the law in Mexico to transit through that country. If you're from another country, well, a transit visa, but they allow it.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
I mean, look at the beast, the big train that thousands of people came up every weekend. They didn't do anything until President Trump got in office and had them put a stop to it. I mean, but the good thing is a lot of countries are willing to come to the table right now. Mexico says they're going to. Let's see what they do. I'll be deeply involved in those conversations.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Panama, Panama wants to come to the table and help the United States secure our border by shutting down the Darien Gap. This administration said they're going to do it. Secretary Mayorkas said he was going to do it. Panama never got any funding to do it. They never got anything done with this administration. They were coming to the table again. We will shut down Darien Gap, but please help us.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
We will help them. Darien Gap, shutting the Darien Gap down would be a huge game changer on illegal migration to this country.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
It's going to be pretty quick. I mean, we're going to come to the table what we need Mexico to do. Remain in Mexico program, a game changer. That needs to happen quickly. That was a game changer. Because after about two months, they stopped coming. They stopped coming because they knew they weren't being released into the United States to not show up in court.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
And even if they show up in court, no one's looking to remove them because on this administration, ICE can't arrest somebody for simply being illegally in the United States. Secretary of Commerce has made that clear. They've got to have a criminal conviction before ICE can even look at them, even though they're illegally here. So the remaining mess goes to game until they stop coming.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
They stop selling... Everything they had, giving the cartels every dollar they had to come to the United States to be released. When the Remain in Mexico program came into place, they stopped coming. When they stopped coming, look at the lives that were saved. Look at the money that was saved.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
If someone is really escaping fear and persecution from their homeland, from their government, home government, if they're really escaping fear and persecution, they're gonna be willing to wait in Mexico for the hearing.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Well, that was the genius of the Remain in Mexico program, right? Because President Trump, I remember sitting in the Oval Office one day, we were talking about this, and I was trying to explain to him, and he understood clearly what the whole situation on asylum is. I told him that if you look at the data, immigration court data, about 9 out of 10 people who claim asylum at our border...
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
never get relief from the U.S. government because they simply don't qualify or they don't show up in court. Then you look at the Homeland Security Lifecycle Report, a report that's put up by Homeland Security, for instance, family units, for those that were already removed, only 6% leave.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
So when I explained to President Trump, 9 out of 10 don't even have a valid claim, but when that 9 out of 10 gets order removed, 6% leave. He says, you know, it didn't take him long to say, why the hell are we doing this? So let's not let him in. Let's have a Remain in Mexico program. If you really escape infirm persecution, you wait in Mexico.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
If you win your case, which are very few, welcome to the United States. But if you don't win your case, we don't have to go find you. And we're not putting this message out of catch and release so people keep coming, knowing they're going to be released in the United States, at the same time knowing when they lose their case, no one's looking to remove them. That whole dynamic's going to change.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
Yes. Right? Because I've said, I've been real clear since the day President Trump appointed me, if you're in the country illegally, you've got a problem. Right? If we don't take the judge's order, immigration court, when you order, you're removed. He gets a deportation officer, deportation order. If we don't execute those orders, then what the hell are we doing? Shut down the immigration court.
