Trump’s border czar proudly proclaimed that their administration could care less about what federal judges have to say about their hardline immigration policies.
“I wake up every morning loving my job because I work for the greatest president in the history of my life, and we’re gon’ make this country safe again. I’m proud to be a part of this administration,” Tom Homan raved on Fox News Monday morning. “We’re not stopping. I don’t care what the judges think, I don’t care what the left thinks, we’re comin’.”
This comes after a weekend of the Trump administration ignoring court orders to deport immigrants in two high-profile cases. On Saturday, a federal judge ordered two planes of Venezuelans being deported to El Salvador to return to the U.S. The Trump administration, however, claimed the order came too late and the plane was already out of U.S. airspace, citing the time the order was filed in the court’s electronic docket instead of the verbal order that came 45 minutes earlier. On Friday, Brown University doctor and legal visa holder Rasha Alawieh was also deported despite a court order blocking her removal from the country.
Both cases follow the kidnapping of green card holder and pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, and along with Homan’s statement, finally confirm what many already knew: The “rule of law” has no power over this administration.
