Homan continued to criticize the Biden administration and their lack of immigration policies. Homan reassures he will be tough on the border.
Homan’s Criticism of Immigration Policies
Tom Homan expressed harsh criticism of the current administration during an emotional interview with Laura Ingraham on Fox News. He directly linked the immigration policies in place to the murder of Georgia college student Laken Riley, who was allegedly killed by Jose Ibarra, an illegal immigrant. The former acting ICE director condemned the lack of detention space, allowing Ibarra’s release after a minor offense.
Homan emphasized that Riley would still be alive under Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy, which requires migrants to wait south of the border. He tasked the sanctuary city leaders to reconsider their stance, asserting that the failure of current policies is evident in this tragic case.

Homan’s remarks towards Democratic policies highlight the failures leading to Riley’s demise.
Evidence during the trial was overwhelming, including DNA matches and security footage. Homan further called on sanctuary jurisdictions to review their policies, emphasizing the need for security reforms, and declaring the end of violence from Venezuelan gangs in the United States.
