Tom Homan Dropped the Hammer on Delaney Hall Critics in New Newsmax Interview

Democrats spent weeks calling Delaney Hall a concentration camp.

Tom Homan just went on Newsmax and told them exactly what he thinks of that.

Now they have a bigger problem than bad press.

Border Czar Says Delaney Hall Hunger Strike Was a Lie From the Start

On Friday, the border czar sat down with Newsmax and rejected every allegation – overcrowding, inhumane conditions, inadequate medical care – as a coordinated political operation designed to undermine deportation enforcement.

On NewsNation earlier this week, he named it directly: "A lot of these complaints are stone cold lies. There's a huge effort to put out false information about ICE because they think it's going to help them with the midterms."

He added: "Bottom line, this is just political warfare."

That's not analysis.

That's Homan telling you the quiet part out loud – Democrats don't believe their own claims about Delaney Hall.

They're making them because they think it wins elections.

What Homan and a GOP Congressman Actually Found Inside Delaney Hall

Homan didn't just go on television.

He went to Newark.

He walked into the Delaney Hall cafeteria unannounced, sat down with detainees, and ate off the same tray.

Spaghetti and meat sauce, beans, green beans, bread, drinks, dessert – and he made sure his portions matched theirs exactly.

"The food was good," he said afterward.

Republican Congressman Jeff Van Drew made his own inspection tour and came back with specifics: a gym, a soccer field, a law library, clean dorms, on-site doctors, nurses, and dentists, and meals prepared to accommodate allergies, religious requirements, and medical restrictions.

Van Drew's conclusion: "So let's stop pretending this is about conditions."

DHS confirmed the facility holds 706 detainees in a 1,000-bed space.

The "overcrowded concentration camp" is operating at 30 percent vacancy.

Soros Paid for the Riots

The protests outside Delaney Hall weren't spontaneous.

Before a single demonstrator arrived, agitators had pre-positioned stockpiles of masks, duct tape, hard hats, and medical supplies near the facility.

Fox News documented the operation on the ground.

The group coordinating pressure on New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill was Indivisible – which received a $3 million, two-year grant from George Soros's Open Society Action Fund.

When Sherrill deployed state police to restore order, Indivisible turned on her, accusing the Democrat governor of spreading "MAGA propaganda."

That's what the left does to its own people when they won't burn everything down fast enough.

DHS Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis issued a formal response calling the claims about Delaney Hall false smears that were inciting riots outside the facility.

Her statement went further: detainees receive three meals a day, full medical care, and complete due process – and ICE holds its facilities to higher standards than most detention spaces holding American citizens.

Why Democrats Keep Running the Same ICE Detention Playbook

Homan told CBS News this week what the whole operation is actually about.

"This is about shutting down that facility. And the politicians on the Hill, it's about abolishing ICE."

The timeline proves it.

During COVID, advocacy groups filed coordinated hunger strike claims at ICE facilities across the country simultaneously – multiple states, within days of each other.

ICE called it then what Homan is calling it now: a "shameful, coordinated campaign against truth."

The goal was never better conditions for detainees.

The goal is to manufacture a crisis ugly enough to justify shutting down immigration enforcement entirely.

Homan just told Newsmax they're going to fail again.
