Homan touted how illegal border crossings have gone down by 93% since President Donald Trump returned to the White House, whom he called “the game changer” in securing the border and prioritizing national security. Homan assessed, however, that there is still more work to do amid deportations, in which just under 5,000 illegal immigrants were arrested in Trump’s first week in office, most of whom are criminals.
“The noncriminals — and the media’s talking, ‘Who are these noncriminals?’ — the noncriminals are arrested in sanctuary cities because you force us into the community rather than arresting the bad guy in jail,” Homan said on Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. “And when we find that criminal, he’s most likely with others, and they’re going to go too. So if you want to be a sanctuary city, you’re going to get exactly what you don’t want: more agents in the community and more noncriminals arrested.”
Homan also detailed the Trump administration’s plan to house illegal immigrants in Guantanamo Bay, explaining that there has been a migrant processing center at the bay “for decades.” He added that “the worst of the worst” will be held in his location.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem assured that illegal immigrants sent to Guantanamo Bay would not be held there indefinitely and that Congress will help ensure Guantanamo Bay is used “appropriately.” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, meanwhile, has called the bay “the perfect place” to house criminal illegal immigrants.
Last week, Homan rebuked Hispanic singer Selena Gomez for posting a viral video of her crying over deportations, in which she said “my people are getting attacked.” He contended that only “public safety threats” have been arrested so far and ICE would enforce the law “without apology.”
