Conservatives were thrilled with the tough stance taken by President Donald Trump’s Border Czar Tom Homan in response to a journalist’s questions about deportation flights.
One of the supporters of Homan’s candid responses was MAGA personality Tomi Lahren, who commended his straightforward approach to addressing the issue of illegal immigrants in the Trump administration.
Trump wasted no time in fulfilling his promise to execute the biggest mass deportation campaign in American history upon his return to office, leading to the arrest of more than 2,000 individuals in a large-scale crackdown.
The first deportation flights took off Friday, and raids have rounded-up migrants accused of ‘heinous’ crimes ranging from pedophilia to terrorism.
The White House shared images of illegal immigrants lining up and being loaded on military planes for departure.
No-nonsense Holman pledged to continue ramping up the effort when ABC News anchor Martha Raddatz peppered him with questions about the flights.Â
‘I want to go back to those military flights going south. As you’ve said, we’ve never seen that before. Is that going to be a constant commitment from the U.S. Military every single day to take deportees out?’ Raddatz asked.
Homan bluntly replied, ‘Yes.’
‘So is this what we will see every single day? Ending in what the president has promised is millions and millions being deported?’ Raddatz pushed back.

‘Yes. But you’re going to see that number steadily increase, the number of arrests nationwide as we open up the aperture.’ Homan said.
Raddatz then asked Homan if they would stop after they had deported every illegal immigrant with a criminal history.
‘If you’re in the country illegally, you’re on the table because it’s not okay to, you know, violate the laws of this country,’ Homan said.
‘So if you’re in a country illegally, you got a problem. And that’s why I’m hoping those who are in the country illegally, who have not been ordered removed by the federal judge, should leave.’
Supporters praised Homan for his brutal responses and commitment to Trump’s immigration policies.
‘Tom is a SAVAGE and I’m so damn proud to know him,’ Tomi Lahren said.Â
‘I could listen to this on a loop! Tom gives zero Fs and Trump doesn’t either. America last is OVER. Get used to it.’
‘Exact man in the exact job at the exact time and exact place. Strength courage conviction and zero f***ks to give about what people think. Nobody and I mean nobody better suited for the task at hand then @RealTomHoman. America stands with you,’ another person said.

‘My favorite member of the new administration! Badass and zero cares who gets offended. Love him,’ said a third person.
‘His one word brutal answers are awesome. He’s the right man for the job,’ a fourth person said.Â
A plane carrying 88 migrants deported from the US landed in Brazil on Saturday, with footage showing passengers descending from the civilian aircraft with their hands handcuffed and their ankles shackled.
Brazil’s government expressed outrage over the ‘degrading’ treatment of the deportees, alleging the US has displayed a ‘flagrant disregard’ for their rights.
The flight was the second this year from the U.S. carrying undocumented migrants deported back to Brazil and the first since Trump’s inauguration, according to Brazil’s federal police.
