Trump border czar Tom Homan admitted on Thursday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have most likely detained U.S. citizens while sweeping for undocumented migrants.

During a gaggle outside the White House, a reporter asked how Homan makes sure that U.S. citizens and legal immigrants are protected from deportation operations.

“We do our job,” Homan answered. “If you’re a U.S. citizen, you’ve got nothing to fear. We deport people that are going to be deportable. We arrest people that will be deportable based on suspicion. Have U.S. citizens ever been shortly detained based on suspicion? I’m sure. I’m sure,” he repeated.

“You know, if you have reasonable suspicion on aliens, and once you do that, you’ve got reasonable suspicion for a short detention. And once it is determined, Okay, you’re not the guy we’re looking for, you are released. But we don’t deport U.S. citizens.”. Earlier during the gaggle, Homan raged against New York Gov. Kathy Hochul for declaring she wanted no part of ICE in her state.

But we're just doing our jobs screwing with Americans, especially brown ones.

8. "Don't deport them".....right! American citizens will just be incarcerated there and die under deplorable conditions.

9. Homan and his ilk should experience unwarranted detention

Going through the anxiety of being temporarily detained by the American Gestapo would give them a new perspective of the stress they put citizens through. We have become a ‘Show me your papers’ society.

Peace ☮️
