“Well, first of all, I don’t believe the polls. Second of all, if there’s any movement in the polls at all, it’s because of the false stories out there about ICE. Like I read, I read in the paper every day that a majority of people in ICE custody are not criminals. Wrong. I think the media is purposely giving misinformation to the American people about what ICE doing and is raising the rhetoric.
“And because of this false narrative that is being pushed out about ICE, that’s why – it feeds the rhetoric, the negative rhetoric – that’s why we have an 800% increase in violence against ICE officers. People need to know that ICE officers are simply enforcing the laws that Congress enacted.
“And you got members of congress out there comparing ICE to, you know, Nazis and to racists and to terrorists. They’re simply enforcing laws that they – Congress – enacted. But so if ICE, you know, if they’re racist for enforcing the law, what does that make members of congress who wrote the law? It’s just ridiculous!”- Tom Homan, today on MSNBC.
