During an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday, Border Czar Tom Homan addressed questions about the use of ‘reasonable suspicion’ in ICE detainments. Homan, who oversees U.S. immigration enforcement, stated that he was taken out of context during the discussion. He reiterated his stance that the policy is necessary for national security and border control.
Bash probed Homan about the policy, which allows immigration agents to detain individuals without formal charges if they have a reasonable basis for suspicion. Homan defended the policy, emphasizing that it is a standard practice in law enforcement and necessary to prevent potential threats. He also highlighted the importance of balancing security concerns with individual rights.
