The Border Czar accused Senator Cory Booker of ‘lying’ and ‘misleading the American people’ over ICE’s presence in schools, churches and hospitals.

Tom Homan, the current Border Czar blasted a U.S. Senator for scolding the Trump administration’s decision to deploy ICE agents to U.S. airports and called the move an “outrage.”
Homan, who was presented with the Protector of America Award by Catholics for Catholics for helping save 129,000 children who were lost during the Biden era, fired back at Sen. Cory Booker, a Democrat from New Jersey, according to a story by Fox News.
“[Trump is] taking the very same agency that has been bursting into our schools, into our churches, into our hospitals, into our courts, and even into the homes of Americans,” Booker said at Newark Liberty International Airport.
“He’s taking that agency that is reckless and out of control and bringing them to our airports under the lie that somehow this is going to help deal with the long lines that he created in the first place,” he added.

During an appearance on “Hannity,” Homan countered on Monday by telling the Fox News host that Booker is “driving the violence” against ICE agents by sending the wrong message.
“He’s misleading the American people, he is lying,” Homan said.
“I want him to give me one example, just one, when ICE went into a church to arrest somebody, or we went into a hospital to arrest somebody, or we went to an elementary school to arrest somebody. Just give me just one example. You know why he can’t? Because there isn’t any.”
He could remember one instance in which the ICE officers chased an illegal immigrant who darted into an education center.
“You’re damn right, we went in there and arrested him near the front door,” he said.
“But as far as planned enforcement operations in those places, [it] hasn’t happened. [As a] matter of fact, the only people that violated the sanctuary of the church was Don Lemon and that group that went in there [into a church in St. Paul, Minnesota] to attack Trump supporters while they were having a religious service.”
Booker’s office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
