On the day that the illegal immigrant Venezuelan gang member was found guilty of brutally murdering Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, FOX News turned for comment to Tom Homan, President-elect Trump’s choice as the new “border czar.”
During the past three and a half years, Homan has been a frequent guest on FOX News speaking the truth about the deadly consequences of the Biden-Harris administration’s open borders policy.
During a live interview with FOX News host Laura Ingraham on her prime time program The Ingraham Angle, Homan was emotional as he commented on Riley’s death and explained what President-elect Donald Trump has in store for the 12 to 14 million illegal immigrants who have been welcomed into this country during the Biden-Harris regime.
Homan, who is 62, has had a long and distinguished career in law enforcement.
According to his Wikipedia page:
Homan joined what was then called the Immigration and Naturalization Service in 1984, serving as a Border Patrol agent, investigator, and supervisor. He was appointed by President Barack Obama as Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s executive associate director of enforcement and removal operations in 2013.
Providing some insight into how the Democrats have betrayed their responsibility to enforce border laws in recent years, Homan’s Wikipedia bio notes:
In 2015, President Obama gave him [Homan] a Presidential Rank Award as a Distinguished Executive. A Washington Post article at the time stated, “Thomas Homan deports people. And he’s really good at it.”
Following is a slightly edited transcript, provided by FOX News media, of Homan’s interview yesterday with Laura Ingraham. A video of Homan’s interview can be watched here.
LAURA INGRAHAM, FOX NEWS HOST: Now, most Americans are still breathing a sigh of relief now that they know real change is coming to Washington.
Some of those who are not breathing a sigh of relief tonight, the family of Laken Riley, because they lost their beautiful daughter. And they lost her at the hands of a monster illegal alien from Venezuela.
Murderer Jose Ibarra got a life sentence without parole but it doesn’t seem like that’s real justice, not when you hear the words from Laken’s mom [addressing the judge before Ibarra’s sentencing].

ALLYSON PHILLIPS, LAKEN RILEY’S MOM: Your Honor, on February 22nd of 2024, our family and friends were given a life sentence without a chance of parole. Jose Ibarra took no pity on my scared, panicked and struggling child. There is no end to the pain suffering and loss that we have experienced or will continue to endure.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
INGRAHAM: If you don’t tear up listening to the heartbreaking words of that mother. But remember, Democrats, Kamala, our border czar, they knew that Joe Biden’s rescinding Trump’s border policies would result in thousands of criminals moving into our communities. They knew it
Joining me now, Tom Homan, the man tapped as Trump’s border czar. He’s going to oversee the enforcement of the border, the deportation of millions of migrants who game the system, many of them criminals who are allowed in under fraudulent circumstances.Tom, thank you for joining us.
This testimony — it was so hard to watch. I forced myself to watch it because I — we all as Americans — need to watch this.
Your reaction to what you just heard.
TOM HOMAN, INCOMING TRUMP “BORDER CZAR”: You know, Laura, a lot of people ask me, why I get so emotional when I do Fox News, and why I get — why I scream at members of Congress. Because I’ve seen so much tragedy, I’ve talked to hundreds of angels and moms and dads who buried their children because they’re killed by illegal alien. This is the latest.
You know, I’ve talked to little girls as young as nine years old that were raped multiple times by members of cartel, when he — when you look in her eyes and everything innocent and pure has been ripped from her soul, and her life will never be the same. I mean, it’s just — I’m tired of it.
The government failed the Laken Riley family. If President Trump was president, he [Rikey’s murderer Ibarra] would be sitting in Mexico and the “remain in Mexico” program, and if he did get to New York, and he was arrested for injuring a child in New York, ICE should be able to arrest him because the priorities under Trump where if you’re in the country illegally, you’re a target.
But because Secretary Mayorkas put the priorities so low, even the injury to the child didn’t meet the standards so ICE could even place a detainer on him. So this could have been prevented. This young lady’s dead.
And I want every mayor, every governor of a sanctuary jurisdiction to listen to that tape, listen to this young girl fight for her life, fight for her breath, trying to survive, terrified. I want you to understand what she went through, like the 5-year-old boy in the back of the tractor trailer that I held, I found him dead — that baked to death, I thought about what the last hour of his life was like.
You need to listen to this tape.
And for those governors and mayors who are saying they’re going to stop Tom Homan, they’re going to stop President Trump — shame on you. Your responsibility is protect your communities and that’s what we want to do is protect your community.

Ingraham next turned the discussion to the statements by Democrat governors and mayors insisting that they would continue to not cooperate with federal authorities planning, under Trump, to enforce the country’s immigration laws…
