i believe tom homan is doing right when it come says to americans first. to all cryers who are crying over undocumented immigrants who have been here for years, like selena gomez, tom homan has made this clear, if you are here illegally, you are not off the table. you are committing a crime if you are here illegally in america. >> laura: they want to say that does not matter. we have millions here, they told the world, if you come here illegally, you can stay, they broadcast that to the world and new york and st. louis, and little towns across america are suffering as a result. >> tom homan is right, he talked about the reason people don't come. consequence when they give free stuff, free healthcare and free school and life many of them hope for, more people are going to come. it doesn't take a genius to realize. eric adams tried to fly to south america to convince people this was not in their best interest. until we stop giving them everything they need for free, they weren't going to stop coming. that changed when donald trump took office on day 1 and i

>> right, tom homan is fundamentally right.e talked about consequences being the negative people don't come. consequences they are giving you free stuff and healthcare and schools and fund mentally the life that many of them do hope for of course more people are going to come. it doesn't take a jean yows realize it. even eric adams tried to fly down to south america during this crisis to try to convince people this wasn't in their best interest stop giving them everything they possibly need for free, they weren't going to stop coming that changed when donald trump took office on day one. and i suspect going to get better from here on in. >> laura: there is a lot of people that have to be removed. it's got to be a pace that it's going to be marred to maintain but we have to do it. vashon and joe, thank you so much. the president of the country of colombia not the university apparently thought that america had no right to return the colombian nationals living here illegally refused to many accept our repatriates flights. trump se

the border czar tom homan is here. right are you satisfied, tom homan, with the pace of migrant deportations? >> no. we've got to do more. we've got to open it up which we are going to do it was a good start the first week was unprecedented. one day it was 540 of never seen that we went from 10,000 a day to under 600. it's great, it's good but we need more deportations got a lot more deportations and that's what we are looking working on. >> as he mentioned it was 10,000 a day for many days under joe biden and eve as or basically on pays for just around 10,000 per week. once her biggest challenge is holding you back from capturing and deporting more criminal migrants? >> sanctuary cities. they are difficult to operate would much rather arrest one bad guy and a jail in 10 minutes but win they release him back in the community we get a team to find him don't want to be found and unsafe for the community because you're putting the public safety threat back to the public that's idiotic to begin with. it makes the job more

trump's border czar, tom homan, joins me now. tom, can we now say that the border is under control?little more work to do, but these are historic numbers. it wasn't too long ago we were dealing with 10,000, 12,000 a day under the biden administration, and if these numbers here -- i've been doing this 34 years. this is the lowest number i've seen. we're pretty close to having a secure border across the line, but we've got a little bit more work to do. stuart: your critics suggest that you're going to arrest migrants inside schools and churches. are you going to do that? >> if they're a significant public safety threat, if they're a significant national security threat, absolutely. i mean, we're not providing sanctuary for national security threats no matter where they are. fbi doesn't have those requirements, dea don't have those requirements, local police don't have those requirements. so we have to arrest a significant public safety threat or a national security threat. yeah, we're going to go into a college campus, we're going to -- we have to goarrest them. we've got to take thes

the biden administration, tom homan, you guys find hem and what happens?irst thing is mental health. a lot of what we're dealing with, finding their parents, their actual guardians because a lot of these children who have come into the country have disappeared into the homes where they're being sold, as bob has stated. so we need to locate their guardians. one thing i can say, rachel, i spoke with the el salvadoran president. we know that children have been trying to contact relatives. hhs has a hotline. some of these children have called that hotline. these children are going to find their way back to safety because tom homan is going to be leading that effort with president trump. and the people who are trafficking these children in the united states need to be held to the full extent of the law. they absolutely have to be punished. there is no way that we can allow this to continue to happen. we're a nation that is based on principles and morals, and we can't sit around and we can't accuse anyone if else of doing anything if we're not willing to take ca

we want to get to tom homan first. tom homan, the national border czar joins us now. o us, tom, about how you say democrats in the media are overreacting to trump's securing the border and deportations because europe is cracking down on illegal immigration. belgium, france, germany, italy, sweden, the uk. can you talk to us about the deportations coming tomorrow in sanctuary cities? >> look the president has been clear that right out of the gate, we're going to concentrate on public safety threats and national security threats so i can't believe any elected politician i don't care what party you're from, why would you not want public safety threats out of your community? that's your number one responsibility as elected official. liz: so the deportations are coming tomorrow? >> yeah, i.c.e. is going to start doing their job tomorrow. they haven't been able to do their job the last four years and now they start enforcing law like they should be. liz: and which sanctuary cities? >> it's not specific sanctuary city. it's throughout the country and we have officers througho

tom homan, as border czar, is essentially white house staff. stephen miller is white house staff.he senate confirmed presidential. and bory exists wholly within the responsibility of the secretary of dhs. so if tom homan calls her up and says, i want you to do x, does she have to respond and comply with the direction from someone who's white house staff? and i'm not sure. we got a whole lot of clarity on that today. >> and, michael, as we look at these hearings, it does look as though right now at least hegseth has the votes. some of these more controversial choices. we haven't yet had a hearing for tulsi gabbard because they haven't finished the background check, apparently, and there may be some problems there. nor for rfk jr is one scheduled, i think, as of now. so there is still a couple of controversial choices. and kash patel, of course, at fbi. but so far, pam pam, bondi, hegseth and others, certainly marco rubio, who is not controversial in terms of the republican majority and many democratic senators who admire what he did on the intelligence committee and think he's a 14

you mentioned tom homan was out over the weekend on abc. he was asked about that, particularly the question of schools of children and whether they are really criminals who deserve to be deported. >> how many. >> ms 13 members. >> are at aged 14. >> to. >> 17, many of them. so look, if it's a national security threat, public safety threat. and what what you need to understand is a case by case name another agency, another law enforcement agency that has those type of requirements that they can't walk into a school or or a doctor's office or a medical campus. no other agencies held to those standards. >> jeff. >> look. this is one of the first. proposed changes last week. and when it came across, it seemed like it certainly could be significant. and now we're seeing it obviously play out. i mean, i guess he's not wrong in the sense of other agencies. if it's the fbi or if it's someone else, but the the level of threat is different. i mean, it's not necessarily a criminal on the run or someone who's possessing a gun or whatnot. so i'm not sur

so why they would pick so hard at it is going to be in charge, you or tom homan?an will work with the president is that the policy in combination with the secretary. it will be her job to make sure it is executed to. >> sandra: karl, i know you are riding about that your most recent piece in "the wall street journal" getting through ambitious policies on the part of the president-elect. you write how trump can start his term off right. successes with executive orders been uncomfortable realities await. how impressive his victory was, he won a plurality and not majority of the popular vote with margin of only 1.5 percentage points. our politics remain deeply polarized. the g.o.p. paper-thin health margin makes passing important legislation difficult. your point, karl. >> the point is, it is a very tough situation. frankly, it is reminiscent what we came into 2001. we had a significantly larger majority in the house, but we had 50/50 senate that quickly turned into 41-49 republican senate with jim jeffords that left the republican party. we had to deal with very clo

he told tom homan he'll be cooperative best he can in sanctuary city rules. there was meetings yesterday how to new york city and no one told the mayor. he has low approval ratings and a couple indictments, he seems to have one over donald trump, they are going through similar legal battles. >> lawrence: this is mayor adams spokesperson. mayor adams made it clear willingness to work with president trump on behalf of new yorkers and partnership with federal government is critical to new york city's success. the mayor looks forward to having a conversation on how to move our city and country forward and tom homan, we had him on after the meeting with mayor adams. he said he sounded like a cop again, talked about cleaning up the city. that famous meeting. that guy is over ice for new y york. i don't think we've seen a photo with ice in new york, they don't honor it right now, they don't do deportations, ice is not able to do that. >> ainsley: there are rumors the indicted mayors trying for a pardon, that is why he's meeting with the president-elect. his teams it

tom homan saw it and responded.o he put them together so you see celina and then tom talk about what is going on down south. >> my people are getting attacked. the children. i don't understand. i'm so sorry. i wish i could do something but i can't. i don't know what to do. i will try and be there. >> a quarter million americans dead from fentanyl across the border. where is the tears from them. i met with hundreds of angel moms and dads separated from their children because they buried them because they were killed by illegal american. sex trafficked in this country. put in the hands of criminal cartels, to be smuggled in the country. this administration can't find over 300,000. where is the courage for them? >> i just commend tom homan for staying out front because he knows part of the reason part of the things they got to do is not only do what they are supposed to do secrets military plane. there is the roundup. who is doing it? ice, atf. where are they doing it? we will tell you any time you want to bring a repo

here is trump borders are tom homan. i didn't see any postings of tears for all of the women and american citizens murdered. all the people that were including children, all the other victims of violent crime. the american taxpayer is putting out billions of dollars. i didn't see tears on any of those issues, what was out all about? >> that was the best monologue i've heard you do in years. i can't say it better myself. we've got a quarter million americans dead from fennel pouring across the border. wears the tears for them? i've met with dads and moms... we've got half a million children who are sex trafficked into this country who are put in the hands of criminal cartels to be smuggled into the country. this administration... >> how many children do we think are missing? some 350,000, how many known terrorists do we know in this country are do even no? how many known cartel members are in the country are do we even know or gang members do you know? >> we have no idea. we have 2.2 million known got a ways. 2.2 million

and in the front of the curtain will be tom homan, as we mentioned. so i think kristi noem, i'm not saying she's going to cede power, but she's going to be taking direction from those two people, make no mistake. >> so, seth, you know, noem talking about taking direction, she is in lockstep, i mean, verbally, in lockstep, not just generally saying the same thing specifically and explicitly saying the same thing when it comes to trump's plans at the border. listen to what we put together here as we focus on the southern border and what we're seeing as far as the invasion there. >> this is an invasion. >> it is a war zone down there. >> this is now a war zone. >> our nation is a nation with borders, or we're no nation at all. >> without a border, you cannot have a nation. >> so, seth, i mean, do you think there's any situation in which she would be willing to stand up to trump on on anything as dhs secretary? >> probably not. you know, one of the most striking parts of the hearing today, i think, was when senator blumenthal pushed her on this kind of an

members of ms-13, some wanted for homicide were scooped up in boston, tom homan says it was a good day they are just getting started. >> getting back to those in military flights going south, we have never seen that before. would that be a constant commitment from the u.s. military every single day to take deportees out? >> yes. >> after you do that then you go after everybody who is there illegally? >> if you enter the country illegally you are on the table. >> jesse: trump wants the removals to go faster, pushing tom homan to hit quotas, 1500 and day, almost the end for the month, got to hit your numbers tommy! he plans to make the president a lot happier, haitians in springfield are hunkering down waiting for homan to drop the hammer, no where to run and nowhere to hide. >> what criminals are hiding in schools? elementary schools, are you going to go into those? >> how many ms-13 members are aged 14-17? many of them. it is a national safety threats, public safety certain it is case-by-case, name another agency that has those types of requirements they cannot walk into a school or do

today, border czar tom homan joined i.c.e. and dea agents in chicago where officials say they conducted targeted operations. the u.s. military flew several deportation flights this week with troops and border patrol agents escorting shackled migrants onto massive c-17 cargo planes. and more troops continue to arrive at the southern border. an additional 1500 active duty personnel have been deployed. all of this comes as the trump cabinet takes shape with several of his picks facing potentially contentious hearings this week. abc's senior white house correspondent selina wang leads us off. >> reporter: tonight, president donald trump retaliating against colombian president petro with a blitz of tariffs and sanctions, after he says the country refused to accept two u.s. military planes carrying recently deported migrants. trump announcing the u.s. will impose 25% tariffs on all colombian imports, threatening to raise them to 50% in a week. a move that could raise consumer costs for the billions of dollars worth of goods that the

but beyond that issue of accountability, do you have issues about tom homan?> well, first of all, you know, we don't have the ability to talk to him and be able to engage more deeply. but what i see it as is a it's a another example of a fundamental undermining of our government system. the work that we're trying to do that i'm worried about, you know, for instance, we had before the homeland security committee, russell vote, who is seeking nomination for omb. you know, again, somebody who was one of the lead authors of project 2025, somebody who came up with the idea of schedule f, which, again, would allow the president incredible capacity to be able to fire anybody in the executive branch. and i say that as someone who used to be a civil servant. so what we see is just efforts to try to undermine the systems that we have in place that i just find to be really alarming in terms of the amount of control that it's giving to president-elect trump to be able to do, really, whatever he wants without the kind of oversight and checks and balances that our founding

tom homan was one of them. he was very definitely pro enforcement. uh, kevin mcaleenan, who was number two at cbp. but i also had two advisers, one of whom worked for ted kennedy. the other one worked for zoe lofgren. and between the four of them, i thought we devised. smart, balanced policies. the other thing i'll say, i was very interested in your interview with with senator andy kim, my senator. um, he asked her he asked the nominee, kristi noem, today. all right. are you going to take orders from tom homan? he's white house staff. he's not a presidential appointee. he's not senate confirmed. what is the relationship? and i think that's a good question. you know, to the extent we have a border czar in this country and this government, it's the secretary of homeland security. it's not a person on the white house staff. so that's an issue that she and he and president trump are going to need to work through on the politics of this. >> you, as dhs secretary and president obama, were more aggressive on border enforcement than president biden was. um,

people up in a position where they're going to be competing with each other. >> we understand that tom homan czar at the white house, will be in charge of the border. homan has used those words. he'll also be competing against stephen miller, who has big plans for how he wants mass deportations to be carried out. then you have the soon to be, presumably secretary noem. she didn't seem to face much opposition today. she, of course, is dhs secretary, is going to be in charge of 250,000 people. big on their plate is the southern border. so how all that gets mapped out still has to be seen. but as we understand it, they really want to have immigration policy held within the white house. i'm right down here at a place where they will be doing deportation flights. in fact, the biden administration already runs about three planes a week out of this airport for deportations. we understand that could get a lot busier. but when it comes to the mechanics of those plans, how it's staffed, the security they have to get on these planes, the detention space they need for the migrants before they're deporte

but she also was asked about her dynamic with tom homan. this is going to be different than the first administration, because now he's going to have a border czar. he didn't have that when during his first term. so tom homan, she said, has a direct line to the president. and he has talked publicly about this. and what i have been told by sources is the one that is really at the helm when it comes to this mass deportation pledge. well, that's a point of concern for some of these lawmakers who have oversight of the department of homeland security because they wonder what where exactly she falls in that. and she said that she was going to work very closely with tom homan. but all of this to show that, yes, the immigration, the signature issue for the president elect is going to be something that they work on day one, hours after he's sworn in, if not sooner. and certainly the kristi noem should she be confirmed, would be someone who would be at the helm of that. >> and let's listen in to this confirmation hearing for kristi noem to hear what s

and tom homan is an operator. he is a veteran immigration enforcement officer. so it's going to be interesting to watch that dynamic. but even so, kristi noem is going to be someone that, if confirmed, would be charged with implementing this agenda. so she is going to be a key player, even if the policy is made mostly out of the white house. so certainly senators will have many questions about how all of this is going to unfold in the days and weeks to come. >> you bring up an interesting dynamic that is worth watching over the next several months. an extraordinary concentration of power inside the white house itself. really unprecedented. priscilla alvarez, thank you again for your reporting this morning, sarah. >> or ahead. new this morning, one of the last moves from the biden administration price negotiations over a new list of drugs through medicare coverage will. the popular weight loss and diabetes drugs. be on that list and is tiktok toast in less than 48 hours, the u.s. ban will go into effect unless the supreme court makes a decision against the ban ru

incoming border czar tom homan joins me now. tom, welcome. >> thanks for having me. so, these raids, multiple cities, chicago has been mentioned, what are your thoughts on that and do you worry about some of the sanctuary cities resisting your authorities? >> well, look, i won't categorize them as raids, they're targeted enforcement operations. ice goes out, knowing exactly where they're looking for and where they'll find them. it's a well-planned operation and possibly who is in the household including children. this well-planned enforcement operation, every target from this operation is well-planned and the whole team will be out there for officer safety reasons. sanctuary cities, it's unfortunate. the sanctuary cities if they care about public safety, care about the safety of the communities, they'll allow us at the jails. we want to arrest the bad guy in the safety and security of the county jail where the officer is safe, the community is safe and the alien is safe. and the sanctuary cities will release that public safety threat back into the community which is

i am excited to see tom homan come in and take office.says he's going to do. i also want them to begin paying attention. here in chicago, we would be remiss if we talked about, you know, you heard the gentleman talk about our mayor and talk about his lack of regard for the voices of the people. the people who have said we don't want sanctuary city, the people who have said that we don't want to fund migrants, the people who have said we want tom homan to come here and we want to the people who are here illegally, we want to those criminals were released from those prisons and released here in the city of chicago, we want them gone home. we want tom homan and his administration to really stand up and be prepared to fight against the city of chicago and the board of education who is right now working to use our tax dollars to keep these illegal immigrants here in chicago. we actually have people who are set in place to educate them on how to avoid being picked up by i.c.e. and what world is not okay? >> trace: in no world. foxnews.com write
