Tom Homan: “Trump Admin Will Investigate Progressive NGOs Behind Border Invasion”
Incoming Trump Border Czar Tom Homan laid out plans to tackle the border crisis left behind by the Biden administration, vowing to hold foreign governments, NGOs, and even elements of the United Nations accountable.
In an appearance on the Hannity show, Homan said the Trump administration is also coordinating with Texas Governor Greg Abbott to secure the southern border.
“Governor Abbott and I are not waiting until January 20th. I’ve been out in Texas. We’re already meeting and planning how we can work together to help Texas secure their border at the highest level ever,” Himan said.
“He’s done a great job. Illegal migration in Texas is down 86% because he has implemented many of Trump’s policies. He’s building border barriers like President Trump did, adding consequences for those who cross the border illegally, and arresting them for trespassing.”
“People need to understand the Department of Public Safety (DPS) has done a lot. Not only is the government taking action to protect Texas, but they are also protecting the United States because most of these illegal aliens aren’t staying in Texas; they are moving across the country.
“Every ounce of fentanyl intercepted means fewer overdose deaths. Every person arrested for trespassing is one less “gotaway.” They are fingerprinted, vetted, and at least we know they’re not terrorists. We’re going to follow this model across the Southwest border,” he added.
Homan said he plans to contract out non-enforcement work, such as transportation and administrative duties, to free up officers for frontline deportation operations.
“My plan, which I’ve been very vocal about, is to contract out as much work as we can—work that doesn’t require a badge and a gun—because I need badges and guns on the street for deportation operations.
“For example, transportation, whether it’s buses, ground, or air, as well as processing and administrative duties, should be contracted out. Right now, we have officers doing that work. I want to get them out of those administrative roles and onto the streets.”
“If these sanctuary states and cities keep pushing back, I’ll deploy extra resources and double manpower in those areas. When we can’t arrest someone in jail with one agent, it means we have to send a whole team out into the field to find that person, which increases risk.
“This is the plan we’re putting together. Governor Abbott was the first to come to the table, and I accepted, shook his hand, and said, “Let’s go. Let’s move forward.”
