Tom Homan Reacts To Selena Gomez Crying Over Deportations: ‘No Apologies’

President Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, reacted to the viral video of actress Selena Gomez shedding tears over the mass deportations that began last week.

In the now-deleted Instagram video, Gomez filmed herself crying while saying, “All my people are getting attacked, the children. I don’t understand. I’m so sorry, I wish I could do something, but I can’t. I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise.” 

Homan appeared on Fox News yesterday and said he would make no apologies for the actions being taken by the Trump administration. He also denied Gomez’s assertion that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were targeting children. Homan reiterated that the main targets were illegal aliens with criminal records.

“I met with hundreds of Angel Moms and Dads who are separated from their children because they buried them because they were killed by illegal aliens,” Homan said Monday during an appearance on “Hannity.” “We got a half a million children who were sex trafficked into this country, separated from their families, put in the hands of criminal cartels to be smuggled into the country. This administration can’t find over 300,000. Where’s the tears for them?”

Homan explained the benefits of these arrests in a separate Fox News interview, saying national security is the main goal.

“If they don’t like it, then go to Congress and change the law,” Homan said. “We’re going to do this operation without apology. We’re gonna make our community safer. It is all for the good of this nation. And we’re gonna keep going. No apologies. We’re moving forward.”

President Trump signed multiple executive orders after his inauguration, which included designating drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and declaring a national emergency at the southern border.

TV host Dr. Phil went on a ride-along with Homan on Sunday and said he and his team witnessed the arrest of a criminal illegal alien from Thailand who was previously convicted of sex crimes against children. 

As of Monday, ICE reported having made 1,179 arrests.
