In a heated exchange on ABC's This Week, Tom Homan, the border czar for President Trump, justified deporting individuals, like Kilmar Abrego Garcia, to a notorious prison in El Salvador. During his discussion with Jonathan Karl, Homan emphasized that the deportations were necessary to remove public safety threats and linked tattoos to gang affiliations. Homan argued that he has witnessed extensive violence and tragedy in his career, which shaped his stance that those involved with gangs, designated as terrorist organizations, deserved to be sent to such prisons under the Alien Enemies Act.
I believe we're removing public safety threats and terrorists, designated terrorists, to that prison in El Salvador, Homan said. Tren de Aragua, MS-13 have been designated terrorist organizations.
If people wore my shoes for the last 40 years, and seen the travesties I've seen, they would understand that the worst of the worst need to be sent to a prison like that.
You're talking like it's a Title 8 removal. This isn't a Title 8 removal. That's a different procedure written into law by Congress, Alien Enemies Act.
You need to read the Alien Enemies Act, Homan shot back.
