Homan: Thousands Of Former Border Patrol, ICE Agents Want To Come Back

President-elect Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, said during an interview on Tuesday that he has received “thousands” of messages from former border and immigration officials who want to return now that a pro-law enforcement administration is getting ready to come back into power.

Homan made the remarks during an interview with David Webb on SiriusXM’s “The David Webb Show” when asked about what additional government resources he needs to carry out Trump’s proposed mass deportations.

“A lot of guys retired early or left because they weren’t able to do the job they took an oath to do,” he said. “So we need more manpower. DOD has helped several administrations on the border. They could be a force multiplier.”

He noted that using manpower from the Pentagon does not mean that he will be sending the military into U.S. cities and arresting people.

“The DOD could be used to help relieve law enforcement officers from administrative duties so they can get on the street and do what they’re supposed to be doing,” he said. “For instance, DOD could help with transportation. They could help ground transportation, they could help with air flights out. They can help with infrastructure building. They could help with intelligence. Things that don’t require immigration authority. So if DOD can help me, great. Other agencies, we’d love their help.”

He said that it was unfortunate that Democrat governors were already digging in to shield illegal aliens from having to face U.S. law enforcement.

“I don’t understand what city or state would not want to assist in removing public safety threats from their community, removing national security threats from their community,” he said. “But I’ll tell you this, if they don’t want to help us, just get the hell outta the way. Because we’re going to do it. You’re not going to stop us. It’d be great if law enforcement would work with law enforcement.”

He said that in just the last two days, he has received “thousands of texts and emails from retired border patrol agents, retired ICE agents, retired police officers, guys that just got outta the military that want to come help.”

“And so we gotta see what we can do about bringing some more people on board,” he added. “And that’s all gonna depend on what kind of money we get when we get in there. But, you know, we’re gonna do the job. Despite the hate, we’re going do the job. Despite the resistance, we’re gonna do the job. Despite the roadblocks, we’re gonna do the job. You’re not gonna stop us. So either join us or get out of our way.”
