Border Czar Tom Homan said Wednesday that Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) should work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement if the senator wants greater safety for his state.
Van Hollen, who has been fighting against the deportation of alleged MS-13 member Kilmar Abrego Garcia, released a statement regarding the murder of a Maryland mother at the suspected hands of an illegal immigrant from Guatemala.
“I cannot imagine the grief and pain that the family of Ms. Guerra is feeling right now,” Van Hollen said in a statement, according to Fox News’s America’s Newsroom. “My heart goes to them during this incredibly difficult time.”

“Now, Ms. Guerra’s family and friends, and our community, will see her suspected killer and anyone involved in this crime face justice in a court of law. Courts of law are where we punish the guilty and provide for the due process rights of all.”
Homan ripped Van Hollen’s statement as “ridiculous.”
“If he wants more safety for the citizens of Maryland, then stop being a sanctuary state,” Homan added. “Work with ICE. When you arrest a public safety threat that’s in the country illegally, work with ICE.”
“Let us in that jail so we can get them in a [safe and secure] jail rather than release them back in the public, which creates a public threat.”
According to Homan, district court judges across the country who are trying to shut down ICE operations must also be addressed.

“There’s a reason they’re district court judges. They’re not national judges,” he said. “You got a district court in Colorado putting a national ban on our activities.”
“We got to get this to the Supreme Court as quick as possible. District court judges can’t overrule the president’s executive orders.”
