Trump administration border czar Tom Homan sat down for an interview on Fox News where he completely exposed the massive lies being told by liberal anti-ICE agitators concerning conditions at a New Jersey ICE facility, revealing he made a surprise visit to the location and found the detainees were receiving substantial meals, along with access to recreation and orderly housing accommodations.
“The Democratic politicians were lying. They’re enticing these protests with their lies,” Homan said during a conversation with Fox News host Lara Trump, referring to recent outrage at Delaney Hall. The border czar quickly dispelled rumors of a major hunger strike happening at the facility, stating that one individual tried to start a strike, but was unsuccessful.
Homan also pushed back against reports that the facility’s conditions are poor, providing details about what he saw during a tour of the center’s medical facilities, recreation areas, housing units, and bathrooms. “I even did a surprise visit on Saturday, unannounced, to eat lunch because I was told the food was bad,” Homan told Trump. “So I sat in the cafeteria right along with the detainees.”
According to a report from Fox News, Homan said he was served the exact same meal as the detainees, which included spaghetti with meat sauce, vegetables, rolls, and dessert. “I’m not a small guy. I couldn’t finish it off,” he recounted during the interview. “It isn’t about the quality of detention, it’s about detention. They [Democrats] don’t want these people detained, right?”
“They want to shut down detention centers, and they want to abolish ICE. That’s what it’s all about,” Homan added. Delaney Hall, located in Newark, New Jersey, is at the center of a political standoff after an illegal alien detained at the facility wrote an open letter claiming they are living in “inhumane” conditions and were being denied medical care and adequate food.
“Initially, we ask for forgiveness for the way we entered the United States, but given the circumstances we were living in our countries, which placed our lives and those of some members of our families in danger,” the letter goes on to say. “We feel vulnerable and, in a way, kidnapped — detained without justification — not to mention that we are being tortured physically and psychologically due to the poor food resources provided in these detention centers.”
The Fox report noted that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) denied all the allegations made in the letter, publicly releasing facility menus that it said showed detainees get three meals a day, including options like chicken fajitas and Salisbury steak. A video clip of the interview has gone viral on social media platform Facebook, with many commenters sharing their thoughts on the matter.

One individual wrote, “Better than silver blankets and cages,” making a reference to how the Obama administration handled detaining illegal aliens during the former president’s time in office. Someone else noted, “They are eating better meals than most kids get in the school cafeteria.” Another individual who served in the military said, “Sounds as good as we had in the Army. Toughen up buttercup.”
