Trump’s Border Czar Fires Back at California’s Early Release Plan
California’s decision is turning heads. The state is set to release an illegal alien convicted of a deadly crime six years early. This move has stirred up plenty of anger.
Back in 2021, a terrible crash took two young lives. Anya Varfolomeev and Nicholay Osokin, both 19, were involved in a fiery car accident. Their lives were cut tragically short by a reckless, drunk driver.
Oscar Eduardo Ortega-Anguiano, an illegal alien from Mexico, lost control behind the wheel. He crashed into the couple while driving drunk. The crash left the Californians burned alive and devastated communities.
Ortega-Anguiano’s record isn’t clean. He was convicted on two counts of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and sentenced to 10 years in prison back in 2022. Now, California plans to let him out early.
That’s when President Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, stepped in. He isn’t holding back.
“I will work with [Homeland Security] Secretary Noem on this case, and I guarantee you, if they don’t honor the detainer, we’ll have ICE agents outside that facility to take custody of this individual and deport him,” Homan said Wednesday on “America’s Newsroom.”
The victims’ families are furious. They’ve sent letters to state officials demanding that Ortega-Anguiano stay locked up. They also worry that if released, he might slip back into the country illegally.
Homan is clear on his stance. “He’s been deported several times, which means he’s a felon,” he said.
“Re-entry to the country, deported.
“Deportation is a felony. We will prosecute him, and we will deport him.”
ICE isn’t surprised by his long criminal history. His past includes convictions for burglary in 2005, vehicle theft in 2007, and battery with kidnapping in 2014. Homan believes these repeated offenses make the case even more alarming.
California’s sanctuary policies now face serious scrutiny. Local officials might balk at ICE’s detainer request, but Homan isn’t willing to back down.
This isn’t just another case—it’s personal. Homan has seen the heartache of families torn apart by crime. “Everybody asks why I get so emotional on network TV, why I get emotional when I testify,” Homan said.
“I’ve met hundreds of angel moms and dads and hear every story.
“I’ll never forget any of those stories. It’s just a tragedy.”
The issue is part of a larger fight to secure America’s borders. Trump’s administration has faced tough legal challenges recently. From birthright citizenship fights to plans to expand deportations, the battle is on.
In May, the Supreme Court will hear a case involving attempts to end birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens. Homan also slammed recent rulings by U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who blocked the use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport illegal alien gang members to El Salvador.
But Homan isn’t deterred. “There’s a reason they’re district court judges,” he said.
“They’re not national judges.
“District court judges can’t overrule the president’s executive orders.
“This is what we got to fix right away in the Supreme Court so we can actually keep the president’s promise to the American people that we’re going to remove national security threats.”
