Tom Homan Just Declared ICE Will Never Wait For The Next Crime Again

Maura Healey has denied being a sanctuary governor for months even as her state shields illegal immigrants from ICE.

Now Tom Homan says ICE just broke every arrest record in the book because of governors exactly like her.

Homan just declared exactly why ICE will never again wait for the next crime.

ICE Just Broke Every Arrest Record In The Book

Tom Homan sat down with Laura Ingraham on Fox News and did not hold back.

He confirmed ICE arrested more than 10,000 illegal immigrants in less than five days.

That is the fastest pace of arrests since President Trump returned to office.

Homan credited a surge in agents and new federal funding for the jump, including dollars set aside specifically to hit sanctuary jurisdictions harder.

He said ICE now has more agents and more resources than at any other point in this administration.

The Department of Homeland Security backed him up, vowing that anyone here illegally will be found, arrested, and removed.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt added that roughly seventy percent of those swept up had already been convicted of a crime or were facing criminal charges.

Homan says that number is going to keep climbing.

Homan Says Healey Has Lied About Sanctuary Status For Months

Ingraham asked Homan a pointed question about Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey.

She wanted to know if Healey ever acknowledges the American families destroyed by crimes committed by illegal immigrants.

Homan's answer was blunt.

He said no, she never does.

He accused Healey of publicly denying sanctuary status while quietly running one anyway.

Homan has tangled with Healey before, after ICE agents swept through the Boston area and arrested hundreds of people there.

Healey stood in front of cameras afterward and insisted her state cooperates fully with federal law enforcement.

Homan sees it differently.

He says Massachusetts courts have blocked local jails from holding people for ICE, which forces his agents into neighborhoods and workplaces to make arrests instead.

To Homan, that is not compassion.

That is a governor making his job harder while pretending she is not.

Why Waiting For A Crime Is No Longer The Plan

Here is the line that should stop every reader cold.

"We can't wait for them to commit another crime to find them," Homan told Ingraham.

Think about what that actually means.

Homan is done waiting for the next stabbing, the next hit and run, the next name added to a memorial wall of angel parents.

He said meeting with hundreds of grieving mothers and fathers is one of the top reasons he came out of retirement twice to serve Trump.

Those parents did not get a warning before their children died.

Homan is not going to give illegal aliens one either.

That is the entire philosophy behind the new 2,000 arrest per day standard driving this surge.

ICE is not sitting back and reacting anymore.

Agents are hunting down people with final orders of removal and expired legal status before another family gets the phone call no parent should ever receive.

The Supreme Court's recent rulings on Haitians who lost their protected status only added fuel to that fire.

Homan made clear his agents are turning up the heat on that population specifically, right now, with the resources Congress just handed him.

Every Democrat governor who thinks distance and denial will protect their state is about to learn otherwise.

ICE's own workforce has more than doubled in just the last few months to keep pace with that doctrine.

More agents on the street means fewer illegal aliens who get to wait around for their next opportunity.

This Is Not Just A Massachusetts Problem

Healey is far from the only Democrat governor getting this treatment.

Homan has spent this year sending agents into sanctuary cities from coast to coast.

ICE detention numbers have climbed past 63,000 people during this surge.

That is what happens when a border czar stops asking permission from local politicians and starts spending every dollar Congress gave him.

Massachusetts is simply the latest state to test his patience, and it will not be the last.
