"We do our job, Homan answered. If you're a U.S. citizen, you've got nothing to fear. We deport people that are going to be deportable. We arrest people that will be deportable based on suspicion. Have U.S. citizens ever been shortly detained based on suspicion? I'm sure. I'm sure, he repeated. You know, if you have reasonable suspicion on aliens, and once you do that, you've got reasonable suspicion for a short detention. And once it is determined, Okay, you're not the guy we're looking for, you are released. But we don't deport U.S. citizens."
"Earlier during the gaggle, Homan raged against New York Gov. Kathy Hochul for declaring she wanted no part of ICE in her state. Governor Hochul has said pull up her clips from the last year ICE should be concentrating on criminals.' I support that, Homan said. Well, how do you square that by locking us out of the jail? he asked. And it's all based on a bunch of lies. Lies from the left that says ICE is arresting people in churches, schools, and hospitals."
"And I challenge any of you to give an example where ICE has arrested someone in a church. One example where we arrested anyone in a hospital or elementary school. The only people who violate the sanctity of a church is Don Lemon and that group. We have not."
"On Wednesday night's Ingraham Angle on Fox News, Homan issued a warning to Hochul that he would flood the zone with ICE officers since she said she had no plans to invite federal agents into her state. Well, Governor Hochul, I'm not asking either. I said it. We're going to do it, he told host Laura Ingraham. Homan added, This is what we have to do because she forces this position."
ICE agents conduct sweeps for undocumented migrants using suspicion-based arrests and short detentions. U.S. citizens are said to have nothing to fear because deportations target people who are deportable, and releases occur after identity checks determine someone is not the intended target. Detentions of U.S. citizens based on suspicion are acknowledged as possible. ICE’s approach is defended against claims of enforcement in churches, schools, and hospitals, with examples demanded and denied. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s refusal to involve ICE is criticized, and a threat is made to increase ICE presence in response to her stance.
