Border czar Tom Homan says DOJ is investigating those who fund anti-ICE violence
For much of the past year, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and the facilities they work at have been targeted by violent mobs.
Yet in a bombshell move, White House border czar Tom Homan recently confirmed that the Department of Justice (DOJ) is going after those who fund the disorder.
Border czar says rioters are "being paid to do this"
According to Breitbart, Homan made the announcement during a podcast interview this past Friday with its editor-in-chief Alex Marlow.
"It absolutely is organized," the border czar was quoted as saying of anti-ICE activities. "You don’t think what’s happened in Portland is organized?
"What’s happened in Chicago is organized. Look at what happened in L.A., when you’ve got 300 people show up with the same masks, same shields, the same weapons, and that’s happened in Portland, New York, and Chicago," Homan pointed out.
"Are they all going to the same mini mart and buying the same stuff? No, that’s being supplied to them, they’re being paid to do this," the Trump administration official declared.
DOJ indicts Chicago gang leader for putting cash bounties on ICE agents
"That’s why I’m glad, the Department of Justice is all over this … it’s being worked [to find out who is doing this]," Homan asserted.
"I can tell you, they are all over this," Homan said of the DOJ's efforts before adding, "They will find out who is funding this, and they will be held accountable."
Homan's comments came less than a week after Fox News reported that a Chicago gang leader was indicted for putting cash bounties on the heads of ICE agents.
That was the allegation put forward against 37-year-old Juan Espinoza Martinez by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois.
Chicago mayor signs executive order establishing "ICE-free" zones
As Mediaite reported, Johnson signed an executive order barring ICE agents from using any "city-owned or controlled parking lots, vacant lots, and garages as staging areas, processing locations, or operations bases."
"We have a rogue, reckless group of heavily armed, masked individuals roaming throughout our city that are not accountable to the people of Chicago," said at a press conference.
The Democratic mayor then went on to warn reporters that "[i]f Congress won’t check this administration, then Chicago will."
