He wouldn’t engage on questions about how the White House would respond on the legal front to the latest birthright citizenship ruling, but he did respond to a question the judge.
“It’s another example of a radical judge not paying attention to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court already answered this question. …these radical judges won’t stop. They want to stop the Trump agenda. But they need to understand the American people voted for this.”
He touted the mega-bill and funding that would allow them to hire more ICE agents and build up detention capacity: “It's about time ICE got the numbers they need, especially now, because we're cleaning up the mess in the last four years.”
On farmworkers and what Trump meant by saying the farmers would have “responsibility” for migrant laborers, Homan said officials in the Departments of Labor, Agriculture, Homeland Security are talking about options. “Nothing has been settled.”
“I can tell you one thing…there will be no amnesty.”
