Video: Border Czar Tom Homan on Ilhan Omar Raid and Anti-ICE Rhetoric
Tom Homan joins Fox's 'The Big Weekend Show' to discuss the federal raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar's home and what he calls anti-ICE rhetoric from far-left candidates.
Border czar Tom Homan went on Fox News Saturday to talk about two stories at once: the federal raid on a congresswoman's home and the politics of ICE heading into the midterms.
This post summarizes a 16-minute video clip. We relied on the network's published description and not a transcript, so the details here are limited to what Fox News says about it.
According to Fox, Homan joined "The Big Weekend Show" to discuss the federal raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar's home, which the network says came amid a financial investigation. Fox says he also spoke about far-left candidates pushing anti-ICE rhetoric, and a longer description adds that the discussion covered the response of the White House and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin to the investigation involving Omar. The clip's title says Homan touted a "major ICE arrest surge." The published description does not give any figures, and we are not stating any.
Two things to keep in view. First, the description does not say what the investigation of Omar involves or what, if anything, has been charged, so we cannot report on it from this source. Fox's other coverage of the story is on its site. Second, Homan is an administration official speaking as an advocate for its enforcement policy, and the other side of the argument is not part of the clip as described.
