Border Czar Homan Claps Back at Tough Questions
Border Czar Tom Homan wasn’t having it when a reporter tried to trip him up on using the Alien Enemies Act’ of 1798 to deport criminal migrants.
A sharp reporter demanded, “What do you say to those who claim you are using a 200-year-old law to circumvent due process?” Homan shot back quick and clean: “An old law? It’s not as old as the Constitution and we still pay attention to that don’t we?”
The reporter kept firing off questions, desperate to get an answer, but Homan wasn’t having any of it. He simply walked away, leaving no room for further debate.
Watch:
Things got even more interesting when The Gateway Pundit reported that President Trump activated the Alien Enemies Act’ of 1798 to deport criminals. This move is as bold as they come.
“Those subject to the Alien Enemies Act would not be allowed to have a court hearing or an asylum interview since they would be processed under an emergency, wartime authority — not immigration law. Instead, they would be eligible to be detained and deported, with little to no due process, under Title 50, the section of the U.S. code housing America’s war and defense laws.”
It gets even better. On Saturday, Chief Judge James E. Boasberg, an Obama-appointed leftist, issued a temporary restraining order to block Trump’s administration from deporting thousands of Venezuelan nationals under this act. This legal move is nothing short of a power play, targeting a law squarely within the executive’s constitutional rights.
The lawsuit, J.G.G. v. Trump, aims to upend Trump’s enforcement of immigration law. The plaintiffs argue that using the Alien Enemies Act—a wartime measure for handling dangerous foreign nationals—is “unprecedented” and “unlawful” in peacetime. But let’s be clear: real leadership sometimes means making hard, decisive calls.
