'The Alien's To Blame': Border Czar Tom Homan Defends Trump Admin After Deporting Migrant By Mistake

Source: Huff Post

Apr 12, 2025, 03:32 PM EDT


Border czar Tom Homan is defending the Trump administration’s decision to deport 29-year-old Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a brutal prison camp in El Salvador, even though the administration admitted his removal was due to an “administrative error.”

“The alien’s to blame. The aliens are to blame when they enter this country illegally,” Homan told Newsmax’s Chris Salcedo on Saturday, claiming that if Abrego Garcia had not unlawfully entered the U.S in the first place, he would not be held at the notorious Salvadorian prison.

Abrego Garcia, who is married to a U.S. citizen, was working in the country legally as a sheet metal apprentice under a permit. He was originally barred from deportation in 2019 after an immigration judge ruled that he would likely face persecution by local gangs back in his native country of El Salvador.

However, Abrego Garcia was deported last month after the Trump administration claimed he was a member of the MS-13 gang. Homan repeated the administration’s allegations on Salcedo’s show despite Abrego Garcia’s attorney saying there was no evidence he was in a gang.

5. Tom Homan is just like the state troopers who reacted violently to peaceful Selma marchers on Bloody Sunday.

To him, people he personally hates have no rights. He is not alone in this violent administration. Russell Vought, self-proclaimed Christian, said of people Musk was firing that he wanted them to be traumatized.

... psychotic scum like YOU are to blame. The vast majority of those coming to the southern border are doing so because of the rapacious destruction of their duly elected governments by that piece of shit, Reagan, who used funds gotten ILLEGALLY by selling weapons he'd promised to Iran BEFORE he was elected, and AFTER he'd ILLEGALLY sandbagged Carter's negotiations for the release of the hostages, and subsequently used to ILLEGALLY train and fund the death squads that turned Central America into the hellhole that it is today, all because those duly elected governments wouldn't bend the knee to American corporate interests that wanted to rape their countries for their natural resources, which they considered theirs by Divine Right of Thieving Assholes.
So shut your fuckin' mouth, you malignant warthog, and get on this plane. You just got a one-way ticket to sunny El Salvador.

Yeah, I know... a run-on sentence on steroids.

The lame explanations for not getting the guy back are an insult to common sense and of course, the Judges intelligence.
