Border czar Tom Homan defended sending “designated terrorists” to prisons like the one in El Salvador, saying that the “travesties” he\u2019s seen during his decades-long career in border security justify the Trump administration\u2019s<\/a> move.<\/p>\n

Homan appeared on ABC\u2019s “This Week” in a pre-recorded interview that aired Sunday, where he was asked if he had any qualms about sending people to El Salvador\u2019s notorious Terrorist Confinement Center<\/a> (CECOT) even if they have no criminal record.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“If people wore my shoes for the last 40 years and seen the travesties I’ve seen, they would understand that the worst of the worst need to be sent to a prison like that because we got to protect American citizens,” Homan said. “We got to protect this country.”<\/p>\n

Homan said his four decades of experience working in border security informed his belief.<\/p>\n

“What you don’t know, what most readers don’t know, they haven’t seen and experienced what I’ve seen in my 40 years,” Homan told ABC\u2019s Jonathan Karl.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I’ve talked to young girls, the youngest nine, that were raped by members of these gang cartels,” Homan continued. “I’ve held dead bodies throughout my career. I’ve talked to a hundred \u2026 angel moms and dads whose children were killed and brutally murdered by members of MS-13 who just didn’t kill them, they mutilated them, they tortured them.”<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Trump administration\u2019s\u00a0plan of sending the “worst of the worst” migrant gang members to CECOT has caused national controversy, with some outraged Democrats accusing Trump of\u00a0“kidnapping”<\/a>\u00a0people for deportation.<\/p>\n

One Democrat, Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, flew to El Salvador last week<\/a> to meet with deported illegal alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump officials say Abrego Garcia was correctly removed and contend he’s a member of the notorious MS-13 gang, though Democrats argue that he was deported without due process, regardless of being an alleged gang member.<\/p>\n
