Watch Tom Homan Completely Destroy CNN Reporter's Fake Narrative About Immigration

What this episode is about

Tom Homan outlines proposed changes to Minnesota's sanctuary policy aimed at enhancing cooperation between local law enforcement and ICE to efficiently remove criminal aliens from the community. He emphasizes the importance of notifying ICE about the release dates of dangerous individuals, asserting that this approach increases public safety and reduces the number of illegal immigrants in the area.

Key takeaways

• Trump's immigration pivot: a political lifeline amid plummeting poll numbers and growing public unrest.
• Reversing sanctuary policies may please some, but it highlights the complexities of local, federal law enforcement dynamics.
• While ICE’s new tactics aim for safety, they risk escalating fear among immigrant communities—an unintended consequence.
• Blaming Biden for 'open borders' ignores the multifaceted nature of immigration crises; accountability is a two-way street.
• Tom Holman's rhetoric reveals the high stakes: blending safety with strategy for a more efficient immigration crackdown.

Full transcript with timestamps

0:00 So, with all the negative headlines, the Democrat hysteria, and of course, the reported concerns now about tanking poll numbers on immigration, President Trump decided he had to do something. And unfortunately, um it appears to have been a change in his immigration policy. Again, they're not saying that. That's what it is. Tom Hman announcing a key part of Minnesota's sanctuary policy. may may be getting reversed or suspended. Watch.

0:33 I didn't ask him to be immigration officers. I'm asking them to be cops working with the cops to help us take criminal aliens off the street. I'm also pleased to announce I had a very good meeting with Attorney General, Attorney General Ellison, and he has clarified for me that county jails may notify ICE of the release dates of criminal public safety risks so ICE can take custody of them upon the release from the jail. All we want is to talk to the person that local and state law enforcement authorities locked in a jail cell. They chose to lock this person up. When we have these agreements, it takes less law enforcement agents to do the job. One agent can arrest one bad guy in the safety and security of a jail where he's behind the wire. We know we don't have weapons. But when you normally release that public safety threat, illegal alien back in the community, we have a job to do.

1:38 We're going to arrest them. So what could have been done with one person in the safety and security jail? Now we got 15, 16 people out there doing it. I know that causes stress in the community. This is common sense cooperation that allows to draw down on the number of people we have here. Yes, I said it. Draw down the number of people here. because we have the efficiency and safety of the jails and the prison.

2:07 Hopefully, I hope you I hope we do. But even if we do, let's be honest, how many how many of the illegals who are in Minneapolis are sitting in the local jails right now because they committed another crime? Again, not like state prison. That's where you go when you get sentenced. They ship you off to the state prison. the local the county jails. That's where they that's like a holding area where they hold you temporarily usually until you have a trial um or if you've been held without bail. And so like that that's a that's a temporary housing situation for people who have been accused. H like we're ignoring the vast majority of the illegals who are in Minnesota. We hadn't been, but now we are really limiting it as an accommodation to these lunatics who are assaulting ICE officers.

2:59 Again, we're still awaiting confirmation for even that sliver of a change from the local officials. Let's hear it from the mayor. If true, it will change things somewhat. ICE will be able to safely take custody of these violent criminals inside secure facilities. Tom H. moment has been saying this is a goal from the beginning making it a safer interaction for for everybody for for ICE border patrol for the illegal alien for the civilians everybody instead of out on the street where he explained today how they had to bring they got to bring all this back up they got to they got to have people for the front door they got to have him for the back door they got to have him in case the guy runs they got to like protect if there are children there that that has to be handled with more manpower and so on so like his point is totally valid I mean they should be cooperating on the jails obviously that's the best place to make

3:47 the arrests. But yeah, you get it. A CNN reporter asked Homeman today how how this operation has been allowed to to quote create such fear. And Tom Holman, this is not his first rodeo as you can hear in this response. Watch

4:08 Shimone Proz from CNN. Mr. Roman, how did we get here? Having border patrol agents in the interior of this country stopping US citizens, asking them for ID, creating this fear in places like Chicago and now here, and then finally, it took really the death of Alex Petty for us to get here. How did that happen? Who made the decisions to allow this kind of operation to proceed in this way and to create such fear?

4:41 The questions we've seen and why we here what started this four years of a open border where millions of people are let in this country unvetted. The politicians are continually attacking us. Where were they the last four years when the number of women children sex trafficker went alltime high? Where were they when a quarter million Americans died from fentanyl coming across the border? Where were they when women and children are dying making that journey? Where were they four four over 4,000 families making that journey died?

5:22 Historic record. Where were they? Not a word. Now we're just trying to respond to what happened last four years and keeping this country safe. That's exactly right. And honestly, the the Trump administration cannot say that enough. They're trying to fix a problem they did not create. This is created by Joe Biden. I mean, so millions of these illegals, they were they were welcomed here. There was a red carpet for them thanks to Joe Biden. And Hman kept kept making the point that he said it was 10 million who came in.

5:59 They think around 10 million that Joe Biden let in. Okay. And he said, "But there were two million gotaways." And what that means is that they were distracted. Like the the cartels initiated an operation. He made the the point that like they'll take a they literally took a baby and threw it in the Rio Grand knowing that the Border Patrol agents would go run to save the baby, which is a distraction technique, and then the illegals run across. So they don't they they don't want any interaction with Border Patrol. They don't want to claim fake asylum. They don't want to be caught. and then like allowed to come here after a hearing or not, you know, either way they're allowed to stay because we never deported anybody. But my point is simply they they just wanted to get out of the hair of law enforcement entirely. And he was saying those are the ones who scare him the most. What what was so bad about

6:47 those people that they needed to be they needed to sneak across quickly without any actual detection? He said it keeps him up at night. So he says he's that ICE is now going to target the most dangerous criminal aliens. But he also did say because he's and he's been committed to this mission for 50 years. But he did say anybody who cross anybody who crossed the border illegally should not consider themselves off the hook.

7:13 If you're in the country illegally, you're not you're never off the table. Let me say this. If the message we send is you can enter this country illegally, it's a crime. Don't worry about it. You can have your due process, show up in court, not show up in court, get order moved. Don't worry about it. Unless you commit a serious crime, you're good to go. If that's the message we sent to the world, you're never going to fix this problem. Uh I don't I don't I don't love where it's going. I mean, as you can glean, I don't love where it's going. Um and and what they're doing is giving these protesters their way. And um that's going to lead to more of this behavior. You know, I mean, any parent of a toddler understands exactly what happens when you give in and you give them the lollipop or the toy in the grocery store aisle because they're crying and throwing a fit. Going to get a whole lot more of it. The only way to handle that

8:11 as a parent is usually to distract your child. But if you cannot distract him or her from the thing, you cannot give up give in. You cannot give in. The only way is to show them when you say no, you really mean no. And uh we're about to give the child, the crying child, the toy in the grocery aisle. That's that's how this feels. I again, I don't question Tom Holman's motives. I think that President Trump is responding to the thing we've been discussing, which is his cratering poll numbers with independence on this issue. And the reason the poll numbers are cratering is because the left is looking to create conflict in the streets of Minneapolis.

8:49 And the media is too. The media wants to create a crisis for President Trump. You know, so far they've gone from Renee Good was just this loving mom dropping off her kid at daycare to now the 5-year-old boy was just seized out of the parents arms. He was abducted and sent to a facility. Um, and now we're on to just a sweet nurse who was there trying to help people uh has been murdered. Murdered. And and you know, like even the the headlines about what happened to Alex Prey are just ridiculous now. Like what was the word, Steve, that we were talking about this morning on the one headline? Like interaction. Alex Prey had previous interaction with law enforcement. Oh, is that all it was?

9:35 Okay. when he spat on them and assaulted them and and kicked in their vehicle tail light all committed several felonies and then resisted arrest just a sweet little interaction you know it's just like when I go over to like Joe Friday the officer on the corner and say thank you for your service that's all he that's all that happened so that's what's driving the numbers the dishonesty of the media and the agitation bought and paid for in part by the the Americans sitting in Shanghai great the George Soros wannabe who's paying these agitators as we've reported earlier this week. Uh and we're giving them their way at least in part. And the one accommodation we say we got from Keith Ellison has not yet been confirmed by the local mayor. So we'll see. Balls in Jacob Fry's court. A new year means new financial goals like making sure your savings are secure and diversified.

10:31 Will this be the year you decide to talk to someone from Birch Gold Group? They use an educational approach with a deep understanding of macroeconomics.
