Border czar Tom Homan joined ‘Fox & Friends’ on Tuesday to address mounting criticism from California Democrats over the deployment of the National Guard under President Donald Trump’s administration. The appearance came as the Trump administration faced backlash for sending federal troops to the U.S.-Mexico border, a move that has sparked legal and political debates.
Homan, who oversees immigration enforcement, took the opportunity to assert that no one is above the law, directly responding to California Governor Gavin Newsom’s recent comments about the potential arrest of Trump for illegal activities. Newsom had previously called on his officials to take action against Trump, stating that there was a ‘dare’ to arrest him, a remark that Homan addressed during his segment.
The discussion underscored the polarized views surrounding border security and the use of federal resources. Homan’s comments were seen as an attempt to reassure the public that the administration’s actions were within legal bounds, while also defending the use of the National Guard as a legitimate enforcement tool.
