Speaking during an interview on Fox News Channel, Trump Administration Border Czar Tom Homan revealed that the Trump Administration and federal law enforcement agencies generally are hunting for over 300,000 children who they suspect were trafficked into America and have since gone missing.
During the interview, Mr. Homan noted that the media is full of liars who are deliberately telling untruths about what ICE is up to, lies he has to see every single day. He said, “Every day, I get up and read the media posts at the White House, and 90% of stories are just fake. They’re lies.”
Continuing, he noted that those lies appear meant to get the American people to turn Americans against the president’s deportation policy, saying, “So, and people say, well, the polls are kind of turned against Donald Trump a little bit on immigration. First of all, I don’t believe it. If the polls turn it off, because all the fake news out there, they’re lying about what the President Trump is doing. They’re lying about what the men and women of ice are doing. And that kind of turns, you know, the tide against us a little bit, but that’s why you know members of administration are out there every day setting the facts straight.”
Giving an example of one such lie told about ICE, Mr. Homan noted that the media has lied and claimed those arrested by ICE aren’t actually criminals, which is just an outright lie. He noted, “The fact is, I read the paper the other day, [it said that] the majority of people we arrest are not criminals. Wrong. Look at the data. Go to ice.gov, look at data. But we got news. You got some media saying, well, it’s just a misdemeanor, it’s not a felony, not really criminal. Oh, they’re not convicted. They’re just charged. They’re not criminals. No, we’re prioritizing public safety threats and national security threats, and that’s a fact.”
Building on that later on, the Border Czar explained that the administration is hunting for hundreds of thousands of children who have gone missing after crossing into America, and has already found a few thousand of them. He said, “Look, we’re looking for over 300,000 missing children. We’ve already found 10,000.”
Adding to that, Mr. Homan argued that the media isn’t covering that massive success though theoretically saving kids should be a non-partisan matter. He said, “Have you heard that anywhere? No, the media is simply not covering it. And look, this should be a non-partisan issue. Arresting public safety threats and national security threats. Everybody should be on the same page on that, rescuing children.”
Emphasizing that point, Mr. Homan noted that the issue needs to be non-partisan, but isn’t because Democrats want Trump to fail more than they want to rescue kids. He said, “I mean, it should be a non-partisan issue. Everybody should be in lockstep on that, but they’re not. The media’s line the Democrats are take. They don’t want President Trump be successful. I got news for him. We are being successful.”
