"You had Greg Bovino, who was the face of this immigration operation, the mission, as you say, to having Border Patrol agents in the interior of this country, stopping U.S. Citizens, asking them for ID, creating this fear in places like Chicago and now here. And then finally, it took really the death of Alex Pretti for us to get here. How did that happen? Who made the decisions to allow this kind of operation to proceed in this way and to create such fear?"
"Well, look the Border Patrol, last four years under Joe Biden, we had an open border where 10, 12,000 people a day were coming across the border. The Border Patrol got overwhelmed, which means we sent thousands of ICE agents down there to help deal with that humanitarian crisis to help secure the border, now we have millions of people released in this nation, many unvetted. Now we got to find them."
A CNN correspondent confronted Tom Homan about interior immigration enforcement that allegedly created fear and preceded Alex Pretti's death. President Donald Trump sidelined senior Border Patrol official Greg Bovino in favor of Homan after the killing. Homan described a four-year period of an overwhelmed Border Patrol with daily crossings of 10,000–12,000 people and said thousands of ICE agents were sent to address a humanitarian crisis and secure the border. Homan said millions of people were released into the country, many unvetted, and argued limited deportation officers required massive deployments to find alleged public safety threats and protect arrest teams.
