Border Czar Tom Homan shut down nasty leftist CBS host Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation this morning as she attempted to smear ICE agents and attack them over deadly shootings this month in Texas and Maine. 

In the incidents referenced by Brennan, the suspects attempted to ram ICE agents with vehicles while evading arrest. She even mentioned a third incident where a 28-year-old Mexican National, who killed himself when he was struck and killed by a semi-truck after he ran into oncoming traffic while fleeing ICE.

Homan did not comment on the active investigations into the incidents but slammed Democrats and members of Congress for attempting to discredit the authority of ICE and fueling protests and riots against law enforcement.

“I actually think that emboldens some people to say, I’m not going to comply with ICE,” Homan said, noting that he’s never seen anything like this in his four-decade career in immigration enforcement. He continued, “And I think no matter what people think of ICE, no matter what you think of immigration law, you should always comply with law enforcement.”

But Brennan went on to attack ICE for killing people who “were not the intended targets,” while suggesting that ICE isn’t catching people they’re actually looking for. She then laughably claimed without evidence that the illegal alien, who was killed by ICE after attempting to run agents over in Houston, Texas, “thought he was being robbed because it was an unmarked vehicle, not that it was law enforcement at all.”

Homan then noted that nobody knows what actually happened because of the lack of body cameras, which the Democrats have demanded. Ironically, however, “everybody in ICE would have a camera now if the government wasn’t shut down by Democratic members of Congress,” Homan said.

“I think body cameras let the American people know what that officer sees when he takes that action,” he added as Margaret Brennan continued to push back. “I think the American people need to see what that officer sees and hears. I think it’s important. And if you look at the data, body cameras actually exonerate agents more than they, you know, provide evidence of wrongdoing.”

WATCH:

Brennan: Mr. Homan, we saw that two immigrants were shot in the span of a week. There was that one in Maine that was fatal just days after another one in Houston. We also saw that man fleeing agents in Florida, who then was struck and killed by a tractor-trailer. I know you’ve been trying to keep the department out of the headlines ever since that streak in Minnesota that was deadly. How do you respond to those who say, what’s happening now looks like very little has changed?

Homan: Well, you know, first of all, we’ll wait and see what the investigations – how they play out, right? Because, you know, I don’t want to get ahead of an investigation, who’s at fault, what exactly happened because we all know, when these investigations happen, there’s going to be cell phone video, there may be city cameras, and, of course, then you’ve got witness statements and affidavits from the officer and witnesses. So, we’ve got to let the investigations play out. So I don’t really want to comment on the investigations themselves. But, you know, I think, you know, Markwayne Mullin, you know, took some action in concern of the safety of the agents and how we do operations, and that’s why he did that, you know, that pause on enforcement on vehicle stops.

But, you know, my concern is – I’ve never – I’ve done this since 1984. My concern is I think a lot of the rhetoric that you see every day, especially in sanctuary cities and at these protests that resist, members of Congress saying ICE isn’t a real law enforcement agency. I think that – I actually think that emboldens some people to say, I’m not going to comply with ICE. And I think no matter what people think of ICE, no matter what you think of immigration law, you should always comply with law enforcement.

Brennan: Yes. Yes. But in the shootings in both Houston and Maine, the people who were killed were not the intended targets. Have you caught the people you were actually looking for?

Homan: One of them I believe we did. But, you know, that happens in law enforcement all the time. I mean, we’re working, you know, you get leads on individuals, and you say, OK, well this subject lives at this house, he drives this car. And when that subject leaves the house, you know, 6:00 in the morning, and someone gets in that car from that house, you know, they assume, OK, this is our guy, and they’ll do a vehicle stop. And depending on when they make that stop and that person complies, either they’re going to be arrested or released. That’s the way it’s supposed to be. So, you know, law enforcement deals with mis-identity every day across the country, not just ICE, every law enforcement agency. I was a cop. I know that happens.

Brennan: Yes. But these were fatal shootings, of course, in Houston and in Maine. And in Houston, it was an unmarked car. So, when you’re saying, don’t resist, these individuals who were chasing the man who died, they didn’t have markings on that vehicle that would allow for him to know that they were ICE. It just looked like a car coming after them in the videos.

Homan: No. They have emergency lights. Officers have insignia. So, when they get out of that car and approach the car, you can clearly see they’re law enforcement officers. They can’t – this is – these people

Brennan: Well, in the video that has been public, it’s not a marked car.

Homan: These people – I’m not saying it’s a marked car, but they have emergency lights and sirens. So, when they pull someone over, they’re going to activate their emergency lights. A lot of – a lot of police departments – I’m in New York City right now. A lot of NYPD officers are driving unmarked vehicles. And that helps them find people that don’t want to be found, right? So, you know, but bottom line is, we’ll see when the investigation plays out, but they’d be alive today if they simply complied with a vehicle stop by a federal law enforcement officer. Just comply. You can – if you don’t think you’re being treated right and they had no reason to stop you, then there’s avenues to take them to court. Just sue. Get a lawyer and argue in court.

Brennan: Well, the family of the man in Houston said they – he thought he was being robbed because it was an unmarked vehicle, not that it was law enforcement at all.

Homan: They had emergency lights. They activate emergency lights. Blue lights. You know – you know, in my vehicle I drive where I’m with my security detail we have emergency lights.

Brennan: You’ve seen that on video, because we haven’t?

Homan: Seen what on video, ma’am?

Brennan: That there were lights. Because in the videos that we’ve seen, there aren’t. And because there weren’t body cameras, it is hard to substantiate some of what you are saying.

Homan: Ok. Well, I have not seen the videos. But I’m saying, our vehicles are equipped with emergency lights. Now, if they didn’t activate the lights, again, I haven’t seen that video. If they didn’t activate the lights, then there’s an issue there, right? But I’m saying, they are equipped with lights. So, let me just caveat that, they should have been equipped with lights and sirens. So, I do not know specifically if they activated those lights. But as far as the cameras, Margaret, you know, everybody in ICE would have a camera now if the government wasn’t shut down by Democratic members of Congress. There was money in that bill that they held up. I think it was $120 million to equip all ICE officers with cameras. But because the government shut down, we’re behind on that. But the cameras have been purchased–

Brennan: But they got $20 million in April.

Homan: But it wasn’t enough. $20 million may have bought some cameras, but it doesn’t buy the storage. It doesn’t buy the resources we need for the thousands of FOIA requests we’re going to get. There has to be storage capability to hold these videos for a long time. So, it didn’t fund everything. But now we have the funding after reconciliation. The cameras have been purchased. Right now they’re training the trainer and deploying the cameras nationwide.

Jesse Kelly of “The First” spoke with Donald Trump Jr about the upcoming midterm elections and what it means for the future of our country.

Trump Jr described it as “generational shifters.” Seeing it as a long-term plan, which President Trump has been continuously working toward for things like a secure border and incentives to invest inside the US.

Kelly also talked about the threat that the Trump family has been under and how it has grown worse over time.

“I try to ignore the fact that we are going to have someone else on our side, possibly someone I know, or you know, be killed. It’s going to happen again. Hopefully not for years,” Kelly said.

“It sickens me where we’ve come as a country because these communists are just so inherently violent,” Kelly said.

“DOJ just announced, Don Jr, this poor freakin guy, someone wanted to kill him too. This family has really been through hell,” Kelly continued.

“It happens a lot more than that’s actually made public, and you know, deal with it with my kids and stalkers and myself with stalkers and obviously you know, two people trying to actually kill my father,” Don Jr said.

“As close as I was with Charlie Kirk, having sat in the trial you know, for that last week. It’s very real and we have to think about these things,” Don Jr continued.

“Obviously, Presidents are always going to feel death threats. That’s just kind of the nature of the business, but it feels so much more widespread now,” Kelly said.

“When did you notice this spreading? Was it right when your dad came down the escalator, or is this just getting worse in the past few years?” Kelly asked.

“Well, it’s definitely gotten worse in the past few years. I think you know, people have sort of gotten you know, to the point where they have gotten comfortable normalizing that kind of behavior,” Don Jr. said.

“It was definitely present in you know, in ’16 and whatnot,” Don Jr continued.

“We have a midterm coming up. Obviously, everybody knows the party in power loses seats in the midterms,” Kelly commented.

“A convention, what’s this about?” Kelly asked.

“I think the idea is to really talk about all of the accomplishments that tend to go lost in the noise. The media hasn’t really changed in the last few years. You still have all that bias,” Don Jr commented.

“What my father and this administration I think have really been doing is playing a long-term gain,” Don Jr said.

“These are things that are generational shifters. You know, being able to shut down the border. Being able to create inward investment,” Don Jr continued.

Vice President JD Vance’s office on Sunday, July 19, that he and Second Lady Usha Vance welcomed a baby boy into the world this morning. 

“We are excited to announce that our baby boy, Alec Neel Vance, was born this morning,” the Vance family said in a statement.

“Usha and the baby are happy and healthy, and our kids are overjoyed to meet their little brother,” he added, thanking the Walter Reed Medical Center and White House Medical Unit doctors and staff.

Alec is Vance’s fourth child. Usha Vance is the first Second Lady in over a century to give birth while her husband is serving as vice president.

Axios noted that former Vice President Schuyler Colfax and his wife, Ellen, were the last couple to have a son during a pice president’s time in office in 1870, when Ulysses S. Grant was President.

Full statement below:

We are excited to announce that our baby boy, Alec Neel Vance, was born this morning. Usha and the baby are happy and healthy, and our kids are overjoyed to meet their little brother.

The incredible military doctors and staff members of Walter Reed Medical Center and the White House Medical Unit have been a blessing. We are deeply thankful for all they have done for our family.

More From NBC:

She and her husband, Vice President JD Vance, have three other young children, two boys and one girl, who are ages 4 to 9.

While promoting his new book this year, Vance previously said it was unlikely that he would take parental leave once the baby arrived. The couple announced the pregnancy in January and said at the time that she was due in late July.

In March, the vice president, who could run for president in 2028, said at a White House event in Michigan that he had to persuade his wife to have another child.

I remember when we decided to run for vice president, I said, ‘Honey, I really want to have a fourth kid.’ And she said, ‘Well, you can become vice president or you can have a fourth baby,’” Vance said. “But, ladies and gentlemen, I am persuasive, because I got both.”

Senator Marsha Blackburn was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to talk about the threat of foreign actors and how they are undermining US interests.

“I was reading earlier open-source intelligence, and their reporting that US officials suspect China or Russia may be feeding Iran targeted data after Tehran struck sensitive sites with an unusual precision,” Bartiromo said.

“With unusual precision, how are they finding out specifically where our bases and information infrastructure is? Do you believe China is behind it?” Bartiromo asked.

“Of course, China is involved in this, Maria. China is part of that axis of evil. You’ve got Russia, China, Iran, North Korea. They are partners in this, and we know that they are sharing data. We know that they have been building, Iran has been building drones that Russia is using as they are fighting Ukraine,” Blackburn said.

“You look at this neighborhood that they have developed with Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, and you know their goal, China’s goal is to be globally dominant by 2050,” Blackburn warned.

“It is one of the reasons we have to block some of this activity that they are doing in the Middle East with Russia, and also with Cuba,” Blackburn continued.

Bartiromo and Senator Blackburn also talked about the reconciliation bill that will be voted on in the House. The military budget that President Trump is asking for in 2027 is at around $1.5 trillion.

“This week, we’ve got reconciliation 3.0 being debated and voted on in the House. What are your expectations in terms of the ultimate supplemental money that will be confirmed and the President’s ask for a 1.5 trillion-dollar defense budget in ’27?” Bartiromo asked.

“What we know is during the Biden years, they did not move forward with what needed to be done with modernizing our military,” Blackburn said.

“Now, we see that our military numbers, recruitment numbers are being met. We are also seeing that there is more of a call to invest in hypersonics, in drones, in Space Force, and 21st century activity that is going to make us competitive in the way that we need to be,” Blackburn continued.

“I fully believe that you are going to see us move forward with the reconciliation bill. We are encouraging the House to stay in DC and get this done, so that we do not have a shutdown,” Blackburn said.

“We don’t want to see another shutdown. We want to make certain that we are going to fully fund the government. We are going to do a continuing resolution. We are going to keep the doors open and allow our military to actually enter into these contracting projects that are going to help to keep our nation safe,” Blackburn continued.

“Does it have any shot to get passed in the Senate?” Bartiromo asked.

“I think that is does have a shot in getting passed in the Senate,” Blackburn said.

“Bear in mind, we can pass this with 51 votes and making certain that we are putting that attention on how we fund our military, and how we address the threats that are out there globally,” Blackburn explained.
