"Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski slugged it out with Border Czar Tom Homan about ICE's detainments of migrants in a fiery debate Tuesday. In what turned out to be a testy interview during the show's 9 a.m. hour, Brzezinski confronted Homan about ICE's criteria for determining a migrant is a criminal who should be detained. Mr. Homan, how would you define a criminal? Brzezinski asked."
"From what you just told me, they're not a public safety threat, Homan responded. However, if they're in the country illegally, that is not OK. So should that person be put in a car surrounded by ICE agents wearing masks and dragged into a car and detained? Brzezinski asked. I don't know the specifics of that case, Homan responded. That seems to be the answer for any case that has happened that you don't want to talk about, Brzezinski said."
Mika Brzezinski pressed Tom Homan on ICE's criteria for labeling migrants as criminals and on specific detainment incidents. Brzezinski asked whether a person living in the country, paying taxes, holding a license and job, and with children serving in the U.S. military but awaiting legal papers should be considered a criminal. Homan said every case differs and later asserted that being in the country illegally is not acceptable, while also saying he did not know specifics of particular incidents. Brzezinski cited cases where detained individuals appeared not to pose public safety threats and accused authorities of avoiding answers.
