‘No Apologies, We’re Moving Forward’: Tom Homan Dismisses Selena Gomez’s Tears Over Deportations

 

Tom Homan, President Donald Trump’s Border Czar, reacted on Fox News Monday to Selena Gomez’s tearful Instagram video lamenting widespread deportations in the U.S.

“All right. This new video just in. Pop singer and actress Selena Gomez appears to be responding to the Trump administration’s immigration raids over the weekend. Take a look,” began anchor Sandra Smith before playing the clip.

“That video has gone viral and it was on her Instagram. It has since come down. Stories last about 24 hours. So it is now down from her account,” Smith said of the video in which Gomez says, “All my people are getting attacked! The children. I don’t understand. I’m so sorry. I wish I could do something, but I can’t.”

“We had Tom Homan, the borders czar, on the top of 1:00 hour. And we asked him to react to that and he said this,” Smith continued, playing the clip of Homan:

I don’t think we arrested any families. We’ve arrested public safety threats and national security for us. Bottom line, if they don’t like it, then go to Congress and change the law. We’re going to do this without apology. We’re going to make our community safer. We’re going to save once we lock that borders on continuous operation, you’re going to see all deaths decrease, illegal alien crime, decrease sex trafficking decrease. It’s all for the good of this nation. And we’re going to keep going. No apologies. We’re moving forward.

“It’s getting a lot of reaction, as you can imagine, John. And the whole social media atmosphere, things like that can go quite viral. And you have to be reminded of the fact that a majority of Americans do support these deportations of those who pose public safety threats, criminals, members of this violent gang Tren de Aragua. There is a lot of public support for this happening. So I have noticed that she hasn’t put that video back up, but a lot of people are talking about it,” Smith then said to her co-anchor John Roberts.

“Maybe she has discovered that Tren de Aragua members are not, quote, her people. You know, I don’t know, but I just can’t figure out the whole social media thing. It’s because I’m old. I know. I just I don’t get why you post video of yourself crying,” Roberts replied.
