Homan, speaking to an audience of conservative leaders and supporters, outlined the aggressive border security measures undertaken during his current tenure under President Trump.

He emphasized that these efforts were directly commissioned by Trump himself with a clear focus on enhancing the security of the U.S. border.

Comprehensive strategies credited

According to Homan, the Trump administration's strategy included not only bolstering physical security but also implementing widespread deportations and targeting sanctuary cities, particularly Chicago.

These measures, he suggested, were integral to the purported decrease in illegal migration figures.

Homan staunchly defended these policies against critics who have labeled them as racially motivated or overly aggressive.

He dismissed such accusations outright in his speech, declaring his indifference to public opinion regarding his role and decisions in the administration.

Adding to his defense of the administration’s policies, Homan highlighted a specific directive from Trump to locate and address issues regarding unaccompanied migrant minors who had gone missing within the U.S. immigration system -- a task he framed as both a security and humanitarian concern.

Rigorous enforcement takes center stage

During his address, Homan was vocal about his disapproval of the current administration under President Joe Biden, accusing it of deliberately failing to secure the U.S. border. He argued that this alleged negligence has led to increased risks and threats, including higher numbers of immigrant deaths and American fatalities linked to drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl.

Further illustrating his point, Homan detailed how the loosening of border security under Biden has purportedly facilitated the operations of cartels and increased incidents of sex trafficking. These statements were made to contrast what he views as the efficacy of the Trump administration's stringent border policies.

Homan’s allegations extend to the characterization of the Biden administration’s border policies as intentionally lax. He suggested that these policies were established by design, not by mistake or incompetence.

Prioritizing removal of dangerous criminals

Homan praised the efforts of DHS under both administrations for actively removing dangerous criminals from American communities. He underscored the ongoing actions against individuals involved in serious crimes, such as gang violence and murder.

A senior DHS official supported Homan’s assertions, highlighting that agencies like ICE and the CBP are tirelessly working to apprehend and deport criminals -- efforts that include tackling gang members, murderers, pedophiles, and rapists, according to the official’s statement.

The official detailed that these operations are key in fulfilling a mandate to make America safer, echoing Homan’s sentiment about the necessity of robust law enforcement activity targeting criminals who are unlawfully present in the country.

Homan's bold statements, future commitments

In a particularly decisive part of his speech, Homan used the phrase “flood the zone” to describe his approach to dealing with sanctuary cities like Chicago, indicating a no-tolerance policy towards jurisdictions that resist federal immigration enforcement.

Despite the controversy surrounding his tenure and the policies he helped implement, Homan remains a figure of significant influence in discussions about border security and immigration policy in the United States. His recent speeches continue to stir debate and bring national attention to these issues.

Homan concluded his presentation with a reaffirmation of his unwavering stance on immigration, emphasizing that safety and security were at the forefront of his efforts during his time under Trump, and asserting that these should remain priorities in the ongoing discourse on national security.
