Former Acting ICE Director and current “border czar” Tom Homan appeared on Fox News Monday night, blasting remarks made earlier in the day by U.S. Circuit Judge Patricia Millett during a session of the D.C. Court of Appeals. Millett, an Obama appointee, sparked controversy by claiming that Nazis received more favorable treatment during World War II than members of the violent Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang under the Trump administration.
During a Monday court session, Circuit Judge Patricia Millett, appointed by President Barack Obama, claimed in the D.C. Court of Appeals that Nazis received more favorable treatment during World War II than members of Tren de Aragua (TdA) under the Trump administration, suggesting that Nazis had better chances to contest their removal compared to the alleged gang members.

Homan strongly condemned the comparison during an appearance on The Ingraham Angle, calling Millett’s remarks “inflammatory” and “disgusting.”
“It’s disgusting she even said that, just try to evoke more, you know, nonsense on the left media, whatever, but it’s a ridiculous statement to make, and, again, it’s another example of an activist judge who doesn’t understand, or probably understands, but wants to push back against the Trump administration who is given a mandate to arrest public safety threats and get them out of the country, especially terrorists,” Homan added.

Homan said he’s confident that the Department of Justice would prevail in defending the act’s application, emphasizing that it aligns with the current administration’s policy priorities.
“I think DOJ will win this case, and we’ll keep doing what we’re doing. You know, the president has made it clear. We’re going to arrest illegal aliens. We’re going to prioritize public safety threats and national security threats. We’re going to continue to do it. We’re going to do it without apologies, especially in sanctuary cities, who let these people hit the streets and create a public safety issue,” Homan said.
President Donald Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to expedite the deportation of members of TdA. In response, United States District Judge James Boasberg from the District of Columbia halted the deportation process. He ordered the Trump administration to return two aircraft that were en route to El Salvador with gang members on board.
