Tom Homan set off another firestorm in the Swamp. 

He’s gotten the handcuffs taken off in one important fight. 

And Tom Homan made one decision about ICE that left Democrats seething with rage. 

ICE will decide which illegal aliens get deported 

Rogue District Court judges have been trying to throw sand in the gears of President Donald Trump’s effort to deport illegal aliens. 

Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport illegal aliens who are members of gangs designated as foreign terrorist organizations without an immigration hearing. 

D.C. District Court Judge James Boasberg – an appointee of former President Barack Obama – blocked Trump from using the law. 

The Supreme Court issued a 5-4 ruling with Justice Amy Coney Barrett joining the Left that allowed the Trump administration to deport gang members under the Alien Enemies Act but had to give them some due process. 

Maryland District Court Judge Paula Xinis – an Obama appointee – ruled that MS-13 gang member Kilmar Garcia who had been deported under the law because of an administrative error to a maximum security prison in El Salvador had to be returned to the United States. 

Chief Justice John Roberts blocked the order that the gang member be returned to America in a separate decision. 

Those rulings paved the way for “Border Czar” Tom Homan and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to ramp up deportations under the Alien Enemies Act. 

He told Axios that it would be ICE agents who decide which illegal aliens get deported. 

Democrats and the media create a hoax to protect illegal gang members 

The media has run with sob stories about Garcia and the other gang members deported under the Alien Enemies Act being a case of mistaken identity. 

Garcia was portrayed as an innocent Maryland father in the media who was torn away from his family and sent to a third-world torture prison. 

It was later revealed that he was twice adjudicated a member of MS-13 and was involved in human trafficking. 

Judge Xinis falsely claimed that the only evidence against Garcia being a gang member “consisted of nothing more than his Chicago Bulls hat and hoodie.”

Homan argued that ICE conducts a “deep dive” into illegal aliens who are suspected of being gang members. 

Social media posts, tattoos, criminal records, immigration records, human intelligence, surveillance, and other information are used to make that determination. 

“It can be one factor or up to 20 factors … It’s a case-by-case analysis,” Homan explained. 

He said that “ICE is the principal arbiter” of an illegal alien’s background. 

“There’s a Homeland Security task force and a lot of agents involved — But it starts with ICE,” Homan stated. 

The Trump administration is trying to deport as many gang members as possible using the laws on the books. 

“People who are enemies of the United States don’t have the same level [of] due process [as in] the normal process,” Homan said. “People keep saying they have no criminal history. I’ve been doing law enforcement since 1984. Many gang members don’t have criminal history. It’s more than criminal history.”

Democrats won’t be able to count on District Court judges to stop the Alien Enemies Act after the Supreme Court stepped in.
