Tom Homan, designated border czar by President Donald Trump, said decisions judges trying to stop the immigration enforcement efforts of the administration "aren't going to stop us from making this country safe again."
He also said that "a secure border saves lives" and that data backs up that assertion. He spoke on Thursday during an immigration roundtable hosted in Sarasota, Fla., by Gov. Ron DeSantis.
The veteran law enforcement official and former Border Patrol agent said also that members of Congress that don't "wake up" to the realities of enforcing the nation's immigration laws need to leave office via the ballot box and that voters need to find replacements that will support border enforcement.
Homan was discussing a class action lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union earlier this week trying to overturn Trump's executive order that uses the Enemy Aliens Act to find, arrest and deport violent Venezuelan prison gang members from the transnational criminal organization Tren de Aragua.
Wolf said that in addition to enforcing the nation's immigration laws on the border, reforms need to be made for the nation's legal immigration system.
