Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Officer Thomas Homan pushed back at Democratic lawmakers in California who questioned his agency’s increased enforcement activity in their state, reminding them that he is merely enforcing the laws they enacted.
Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris wrote last month demanding to be “briefed on the troubling reports that ICE is targeting raids in California.”
The lawmakers were referencing an interview Homan gave shortly after California’s sanctuary state law went into effect. In the Fox News interview, Homan said“California better hold on tight” because the new law is not going to make ICE go away and the agency will be beefing up its presence in the state to protect The Golden State’s communities.
“I didn’t think these senators were in the business of enacting laws they didn’t want enforced. I’m enforcing the laws they enacted,” Homan said Wednesday, responding to claims that ICE is carrying out indiscriminate “raids” on illegal immigrants.
