“Because the Border Patrol is so overwhelmed taking care of this humanitarian crisis, many of them are pulled off the line, and what happens then?” Homan said while speaking to the troops. “600% increase in sex trafficking, fentanyl coming across the border killing a quarter of a million Americans, record number of people on the terrorist watchlist crossing the border, over 2 million known got-aways.
“How many of them come from a country sponsoring terror? How many of them were carrying fentanyl? How many of them are sex trafficking women and children? How many of them are gang members?”
According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, nearly 11 million known migrants crossed the U.S. southern border during the Biden-Harris administration.

Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, R, have bused migrants to “sanctuary cities” throughout the country, seeking to share the burden of the border crisis.
Shelters in cities like New York, Chicago and Boston have become overwhelmed, prompting Democratic mayors to call on the federal government to do more to help accommodate asylum-seekers.
Trump has said he plans to carry out mass deportations of undocumented immigrants when he returns to the White House, and he has tapped Homan to lead the efforts.
Some Democratic mayors, including Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, have stated they will not assist the incoming Trump administration with mass deportation efforts.
Johnston said he is willing to go to jail to protect migrants in his city.

Homan appeared on “Hannity” the night of Monday, Nov. 25, before his visit to the southern border, and he said sanctuary cities are breaking the law.
“Well, look, me and the Denver mayor, we agree on one thing,” Homan said. “He’s willing to go to jail, I’m willing to put him in jail.”
Trump has also suggested he will use the military to carry out his mass deportation plan.
