During a recent interview on ‘The Ingraham Angle,’ White House border czar Tom Homan addressed California Governor Gavin Newsom’s new executive order that prohibits the use of masks by law enforcement during deportation operations. Homan criticized the policy, stating that it would make it difficult for agents to perform their duties effectively. He also questioned the practicality of the law, suggesting that it would not significantly impact the process of deporting individuals.
Newsom’s law, which was recently enacted, has drawn criticism from various law enforcement agencies and federal officials. The governor argued that the policy was implemented to protect the health and safety of law enforcement officers during the ongoing pandemic. Homan, however, dismissed these concerns, emphasizing that the primary objective of deportation operations is to enforce immigration laws, not to provide medical protection.
The discussion also touched on allegations of bribery against Homan, though the interview did not provide any specific details or evidence to support these claims. Homan maintained that he had done nothing wrong and that the allegations were baseless. The comments have sparked debate over the integrity of the border enforcement process and the role of political leaders in shaping immigration policy.
