Trump Border Czar Tells Fox & Friends He ‘Doesn’t Care’ if Judges Rule His Actions Are Illegal

Trump Border Czar Tom Homan declared that he “doesn’t care” what judges say about his actions in a stunning moment during a Monday appearance on Fox News.

At the end of a Fox & Friends appearance, co-host Lawrence Jones expressed concern over whether the actions of Homan’s team, who are working tirelessly to deport undocumented migrants — particularly those with a criminal record — from the United States, but are doing so in a manner that has raised serious legal questions.

“It doesn’t look like you’re getting support from the Democrats on this,” Jones noted. “You’re going against the judges now. What’s next?”

At issue is Trump’s recent invocation of the wartime Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to target violent, illegal immigrant street gangs, which a judge blocked on Saturday.

“Another flight every day,” Homan pledged. “President Trump has made a promise to the American people. We’re going to make this country safe again. I wake up every morning loving my job because I work for the greatest president in the history of my life, and we’re going to make this country again. I’m proud to be a part of this administration.”

“We’re not stopping,” he concluded. “I don’t care what the judges think. I don’t care what the left thinks. We’re coming.”

His open admission that he doesn’t care about judicial decisions might be the sort of machismo bluster has earned President Donald Trump’s admiration. But it’s also a rather significant thing to say out loud since federal judges are tasked with interpreting the law and Constitution.

Here’s the full exchange:

JONES: So Tom, what’s next because I’m getting a little worried about the manpower these guys are they have to be tired You got 30 guys in the stack going on different busts every single day. You’re gonna run out of money. It doesn’t look like you’re getting support from the Democrats on this you get you’re going against the judges now What’s next?

HOMAN: Another flight. Another flight every day. The teams are going to be out there every day. Every day the men and women of ICE are going to be in the neighborhoods of this nation arresting criminal, illegal, alien, public safety threats and national security threats. Lawrence, you’re not going to stop us. We made a promise to the American people. The President Trump has made a promise to the American people. We’re going to make this country safe again. I wake up every morning loving my job because I work for the greatest president in the history of my life and we’re going to make this country again. I’m proud to be a part of this administration. We’re not stopping. I don’t care what the judges think. I don’t care what the left thinks. We’re coming.

JONES: I just love seeing you going through these protesters just crunching on the apple as their liberal tears just flew out the hallway. Tom Homan, thanks so much for joining the program.

HOMAN: Yeah, thank you.
