The adults are about to be back in charge. And they aren’t taking any chances.
Now Trump’s border czar made a crazy announcement you won’t believe.
President-elect Donald Trump’s soon-to-be border czar, Tom Homan, sent a clear and bold message during an interview over the weekend: illegal aliens from Venezuela will be deported under the new administration, whether Venezuela likes it or not.
This decisive stance highlights Trump’s return to the White House as a game-changer for U.S. border policy.
Homan made these remarks during an appearance on CBS News’ Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan. When questioned about countries like Venezuela refusing to accept deportees, Homan wasted no time emphasizing the difference between Trump’s leadership and the weak policies of the Biden administration.
“Well, first of all, we got President Trump coming to the Oval Office, and he’s proven during his first administration, his leadership on illegal immigration was a game changer,” Homan said.
He pointed to past victories, such as Trump compelling El Salvador to take back MS-13 gang members in just 48 hours.
“It took President Trump 48 hours to get El Salvador to take back their criminal aliens into their prisons.”
Homan also praised Trump’s achievements in persuading Mexico to implement the successful Remain in Mexico program, which kept asylum seekers south of the U.S. border while their cases were processed.
“He was able to get Mexico put military on the southern and northern border,” Homan noted, underscoring Trump’s ability to bring other nations to the table and prioritize American safety.
The contrast with President Joe Biden’s approach could not be more stark. According to Homan, Biden’s lack of resolve allowed countries to refuse deportations without consequence.
“President Biden never forced these countries to take them back,” Homan said, calling out the failure to prioritize public safety during the current administration.
Under Trump’s renewed leadership, the days of such leniency are over. “If, for instance, Venezuela don’t take their people back, there’s other ways we can do it,” Homan declared.
“There’s other countries be willing to accept them.” He expressed confidence that Trump will apply the same pressure to Venezuela as he did with Mexico and El Salvador to ensure they cooperate.
But Homan made it clear: even if Venezuela refuses, deportations will proceed. “If they don’t, they’re still gonna be deported. They’re just gonna be deported to a different country,” he explained.
The focus, he said, is on ensuring the safety of American citizens, especially given the growing threat posed by criminal Venezuelan gangs.
“We’re not gonna be held up on removing public safety threats in this country,” Homan continued.
“We gotta put the safety of the American people first. We’ve had too many young women murdered and raped and burned alive by members of Venezuelan gangs.” He vowed that deporting such individuals would be a top priority from day one of Trump’s presidency.
Homan’s comments reflect the no-nonsense approach that defined Trump’s first term and will once again take center stage in his second. Under Trump’s leadership, border security will not be compromised, and the safety of American families will come first.
