Border czar Tom Homan fires back after Democrat Chris Murphy claims ICE is ‘terrorizing little kids’
White House border czar Tom Homan fired back on Sunday's "State of the Union" after Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., accused U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") of targeting parents at school bus stops in Danbury, Connecticut. "Trump says ICE is targeting criminals. They aren't. It's a lie," Murphy posted to X on Friday. "In Danbury, they are just targeting parents sitting at school bus stops just to terrorize little kids." On CNN's "State of the Union", Homan rejected Murphy's characterization of ICE operations . "ICE isn't in the business of terrorizing children," Homan told host Dana Bash. "That's just political fire. ICE is out there enforcing the law that was enacted by Congress. Did we arrest illegal aliens [that are] parents? I'm sure many are.
