Tom Homan Tears Into Newsom for Not Thanking Trump for Cleaning Up His Mess

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Border czar Tom Homan eviscerated Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday for lacking the “integrity” to support Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s efforts to keep his state safe.

During a summit held by Politico, Newsom accused ICE on Wednesday of being a “private police force” that is showing its allegiance to President Donald Trump over the U.S. Constitution. Homan told “America’s Newsroom” that the California governor is an “embarrassment” and vowed to continue his crackdown on illegal immigrants with heinous criminal records.

“It’s disgusting. He’s an embarrassment to the position he holds,” Homan said. “If he had an ounce of integrity, if [Democrat Los Angeles Mayor] Karen Bass had an ounce of integrity, they’d be thanking President Trump for making California safe again. You just listed all the bad people we’ve taken off streets. We’re going to be there today, we’re going to be there tomorrow, we’re not going anywhere. President Trump made a promise to the American people that we’re going to make this country safe again, and that includes L.A. That includes California.”

ICE has made about 200,000 arrests and deported about 350,000 illegal immigrant criminals since Trump took office in January, Homan said. The border czar stated that Newsom can “just sit back and watch” as ICE agents make his state safer.

“Gov. Newsom can just sit back and watch us make his state safe again because they’ve done nothing. We’ll do it for them,” Homan continued.

U.S. Border Patrol and ICE have made 5,000 arrests in Los Angeles since the beginning of their operation in June, the Department of Homeland Security reported on Tuesday. The agents arrested gang members, child predators, murderers, and other heinous illegal immigrant criminals off California’s streets.

Newsom has attacked the Trump administration for cracking down on the presence of illegal immigrants in his state. After a raid on a marijuana farm resulted in violence, Newsom framed ICE’s search as an assault on innocent children and labeled Trump as “scum” for allowing agents to allegedly make kids watch their parents be “taken from the fields.”

Bass signed a sanctuary order in July to prohibit local officials’ cooperation with ICE.
