Former ICE Director on 'Fox & Friends': Nancy Pelosi is 'disgusting'

On Thursday’s Fox & Friends, former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Thomas Homan was discussing all-things border wall and government shutdown when host Steve Doocy asked for his thoughts on Nancy Pelosi and her recent efforts to have President Trump postpone his State of the Union address.

“She’s disgusting,” Homan said, which was followed by laughter and applause from the live studio audience. “She is scared to death that a president is going to speak straight to the American people more than eight minutes, and explain there is a crisis on the border. This isn’t just about enforcing the law, this is about saving lives.”

Homan, who spoken out against Pelosi in the past, claims the Speaker of the House wants to entice people to come to the country illegally and doesn’t want any enforcement on the border, despite her saying otherwise.

“If Nancy Pelosi saw what I saw in the 34 years of my career, maybe she would have a different attitude,” Homan continued. “Because I have stood in back of a tractor-trailer surrounded by 19 dead aliens, including 5-year-old little boy who died in his father’s arms because he suffocated to death.”

Homan also called out Pelosi for the reaction she gave alongside Senator Chuck Schumer to President Trump’s oval office speech last week on border security, in which she said that migrant families are not a threat to the United States.

Homan pointed to stats from his career in border enforcement that say otherwise.

“Let me tell you something, when we came to New York City and Long Island we arrested several hundred MS-13 members,” he said. “Forty percent of those gang members we arrested entered this country as a part of a family unit.”
