Wednesday on FNC’s “Hannity,” Trump border czar Tom Homan reiterated his intent to see alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia deported after echoing a statement from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem issued earlier in the day identifying him as a “gang member, human trafficker, wife beater, child predator and criminal illegal alien.”
“He’s a significant public safety threat. You got it right. He’s a gang member, designated terrorist, and he’s been ordered removed by two different federal judges,” Homan told Hannity. “He’s been indicted for human trafficking and alien smuggling. He’s a bad man. And I’m telling you, listen, I’m giving you my word. He will be deported from this country. I got my teeth in this thing, I’m not letting it go.”
“As far as the story now, he’s going to claim asylum — first of all, he’s beyond the required one year,” he continued. “He’s been here longer than that. So, he shouldn’t be able to qualify for asylum. If the judge rules on the law, the law is about asylum seeking, because you got to be escaping fear and persecution from your home government because of race, religion, and political affiliation. Well, he’s not going to his home country, right?
“So, he’s going to either Uganda or any other country we decide to send him to. What is the evidence that he can present that he’s going to be persecuted because of his race, religion, and political affiliation?” Homan said. “He’s got to present that evidence,” Homan added. “He doesn’t have any evidence. So, if the judge rules on the law, he’s gone.”
