Tom Homan lays out for Charlie Kirk exactly how he will secure border, conduct deportations


Incoming “border czar” Tom Homan has been making the rounds of news shows since being appointed to the post by President-elect Donald Trump, and while many have questioned his past comments or the ethics of the plans for mass deportation, Homan got a chance on The Charlie Kirk Show to detail what those plans are.

Homan, the first ICE director who “came up through the ranks,” said that at the federal level, there are four key things that must first be done.

1. To reinstate the Remain in Mexico policy, where those who seek asylum or entry into the US and arrive at the US-Mexico border submit their petition or claim for entry then wait in Mexico for their court date or for adjudication of their claim. Under the Biden-Harris administration, this was considered inhumane and those who arrived were processed and then released into the US. Reinstating this policy would be a task for the president and Homan said that it was a real deterrent to would-be border crossers. Nine out of ten people who claim asylum do not actually qualify once their case is heard in court.

2. The First Safe Country agreements must be reinstated, Homan said. This is the policy wherein to qualify to make an asylum claim at the US border, the applicant must have claimed asylum in the first safe country in which they arrived after leaving their own nation. This is an agreement that was made by the three Northern Triangle Countries of Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador and it is to ensure that the individual is actually seeking asylum, not simply using lax US asylum rules to enter the US and remain there until a court date.

3. “We’re going to stop Catch and Release day one,” Homan said. Under the Biden-Harris administration, those who were caught illegally entering the US were processed and released into the US to await a court date. Homan’s plan would be to ensure that illegal immigrants are either “immediately returned or detained,” but not released into the US.

4. The Border Wall is the final component of this strategy, he said. The Biden-Harris administration did not finish building that wall, Homan said, noting that the key components of that wall are the tech components that alert border patrol if the wall is being breached either under, over or through. There are also communications pieces of that wall that were not installed, which is “an officer safety issue.” He said that the border wall has proved to be a deterrent because when it is encountered, it actually stops people and that border agents are more easily able to manage the limited crossings as opposed to the lengthy US-Mexico border.

As to his plan to enact mass deportations to remove the 8 to 10 million illegal immigrants who came into the US over the past four years. Homan said that he intends to “kick off the largest mass deportation this country has ever seen.” He told Kirk his plans for that, too. Kirk noted that there are literally Venezuelan gangs taking over apartment buildings in both Colorado and Texas, and pressed Homan on what authority the federal government has to do.

Homan said that federal law supersedes state or local law when it comes to sanctuary cities. Under Trump’s first term, Homan said, nine out of ten of those illegal immigrants who were deported were convicted criminals or had pending criminal charges and that under the new term, ICE would start with those who were Convicted Criminals or have Charges Pending. “We’re going after the public safety threat and national security threats first,” he said. Homan said that in cities that refuse to aid ICE, he will “double the manpower for that city.”

He will also Enforce the Laws Enacted by Congress, including laws around arresting US citizens who are “harboring” illegal aliens. Homan intends to extend this principle to local jails that in sanctuary cities refuse to turn over illegal immigrants for deportation who have been charged with crimes.

Homan also cleared up just which illegal immigrants are and are not criminals, saying “Entry to this country illegally is a crime, every illegal alien in this country committed a crime to get here, so they’re all criminals.” For Homan, however, it’s not about the individuals, but what the massive influx of illegal immigrants facilitates: smuggling of human beings and drugs. When border patrol is overwhelmed at the border, he said, that’s when the cartels move in with fentanyl and other drugs that lay waste to American lives.

Chinese Agent Who Tried To Bribe IRS Against Shen Yun Sentenced To 20 Months in Prison

Chinese Agent Who Tried To Bribe IRS Against Shen Yun Sentenced To 20 Months in Prison

Authored by Eva Fu and Cara Ding via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

A Chinese agent who tried to bribe the IRS and manipulate the agency into advancing Beijing’s transnational repression of a U.S. nonprofit has received a 20-month prison sentence.

U.S. citizen John Chen, 72, was a principal actor in a $50,000 bribery scheme under the direction of a Chinese intelligence official to revoke the nonprofit status of New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts.

Shen Yun has long been on the Chinese regime’s target list. Founded in 2006, the company tours around the world to display the ancient Chinese culture that prevailed before the communist takeover of China, while highlighting the human rights abuses under the regime’s rule. It has often drawn attention to the ongoing persecution of the meditation group Falun Gong.

Chen pleaded guilty in July after reaching a plea deal with prosecutors. He has spent the 16 months since his arrest in May 2023 in detention, and he will spend another four months in federal custody.

He will also forfeit $50,000 and face three years of supervised release after serving the full prison term.

For several months in 2023, Chen had been trying to move a fraudulent whistleblower complaint to help the Chinese Communist Party “topple” Falun Gong, according to court documents. Prosecutors said the whistleblower complaint was “facially deficient” and invoked propaganda rhetoric typical of Chinese authorities.

During those conversations, Chen emphasized that Chinese leadership was “very generous” in financial support for the plan, according to the court filing.

“After this-this-this thing is done,” the court document quoted Chen as saying, “reward for work will surely be given at that time.”

Chen and another co-conspirator, Lin Feng, who served 16 months of detention, paid $5,000 cash bribes to an undercover agent posing as an IRS agent. They promised an additional $50,000 for opening an investigation along with 60 percent of any awards from the complaint if it went through.

It was “a significant bribe,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Lockard said at the sentencing hearing. He noted that the undercover officer didn’t specify an amount.

“The defendant chose the amount,” he said.

Both Chen and Lin had traveled to Orange County in upstate New York, where Shen Yun is based, to surveil Falun Gong practitioners there, according to a court filing.

Damian Williams, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, said the sentencing was a reminder that “the U.S. justice system will hold accountable those who attempt to engage in malicious transnational repression on American soil.”

“John Chen aligned himself with the PRC government and its goals to harass and intimidate the Falun Gong, a long-standing target of PRC repression. In doing so, Chen boldly attempted to bribe an individual he believed to be an IRS agent to corrupt the administration of the U.S. tax code and pervert the IRS whistleblower program,” he said in a statement on Nov. 19. “This Office will not tolerate efforts like this to repress free speech by targeting critics of the PRC in the United States.”

Both Chen’s son and his lawyer declined to comment after walking out of the courtroom.

While Chen’s son, three China-based siblings, two ex-wives, and fiancée have all written letters asking for leniency and describing him as a man who loves the United States, the prosecutors disagreed.

In a Nov. 5 memo, they argued that a 30-month prison sentence—the longest under the sentencing guideline—would be appropriate because of the seriousness of the case and the need to deter criminal conduct, “particularly in cases of a foreign power’s repression of a disfavored group within the borders of the United States.”

“The defendant has no mitigating motives or external factors justifying his offense,” the prosecutors wrote, noting that Chen was “not motivated by poverty” and that there was no evidence of Chinese officials’ pressure.

Prosecutors noted that Chen had repeatedly referred to Chinese officials as his “friends” and that during the bribery scheme, he “called them ‘blood brothers,’ and described how ‘we’—Chen and his PRC Government friends—‘started this fight’ against the founder of the Falun Gong ‘twenty, thirty years ago.’”

The memo displayed photos obtained from Chen’s electronic devices and online accounts showing him at a major military parade in Beijing celebrating the 70th anniversary of Chinese communist rule in 2019. Another photo showed Chen shaking hands with communist leader Xi Jinping.

“Chen was extraordinarily proud of his history with the PRC Government and, in particular, his meeting with Xi,” the memo states, citing a recorded call in which he bragged that he had “climbed, climbed, climbed to this position,” and that “Uncle Xi” met him “three times in 10 years.”

Chen had also featured those three meetings, along with a photo, in a 2020 digital rĂŠsumĂŠ, according to the memo.

Chen was aligned with the Chinese authorities in suppressing Falun Gong and “acted as a full-fledged and enthusiastic participant in the crimes,” the prosecutors said.

“It was his fight,” Lockard said at the sentencing hearing, adding that Chen had tried to use the freedoms he enjoyed in the United States to undermine the country.
