Border Czar Tom "The Hammer" Homan has now weighed in on the violent protests that arose when federal agents were rounding up illegal aliens at the Glass House Farms pot farm on Thursday. As we might expect, Mr. Homan did not mince words, blaming Democrats' "Nazi" comparisons for the rise in violence.
Border Czar Tom Homan on Friday angrily condemned the violence at a California pot farm as proof anti-ICE protests will turn deadly, blaming the inflammatory rhetoric of Democrats comparing agents to Nazis.
Homan spoke out the morning after protesters were seen hurling rocks — and one even appeared to fire a gun — at agents stamping down on a massive marijuana operation where they found 10 illegal-migrant juveniles, eight of whom were there without an adult.
“What happened in California is just another example of protesters becoming criminals, and they’ve been emboldened by even members of Congress who compare ICE to Nazis and racists and terrorists,” Homan said on “Fox & Friends” Friday morning.
“I said months ago, it’s going to end up with a loss of life — and we had one the other day in Texas, and it’s not over,” he said, referencing the gunman who opened fire on border patrol agents walking into work in McAllen Monday.
Tom Homan is correct in every detail here. The rhetoric from the left is not only encouraging all this, it's actively fomenting it. During the California pot farm raid in question, rocks were thrown at federal agents, and one rather fuzzy image appears to show a protester - let's be honest, a rioter - firing a handgun at federal officers.
Protesters shouted and screeched until agents used canisters with an unknown substance and fired less-than-lethal rounds, forcing them to retreat. Several of the protesters threw what appeared to be rocks back at the officers, according to ABC 7.
As they retreated, a masked man in all black appeared to let off a few shots among a crowd of other protesters scampering away from advancing agents.
There's no way this ends well. If this is true, if shots were fired at federal officers, this is a significant escalation. How long will it be before more rioters turn up with firearms? What will the federal response be? This has the potential to escalate into outright armed rebellion, and the Democrat politicians and activists who keep up the endless drum-beat of "fascist" and "Nazi" will be in large part responsible for provoking this violence.
Note also that eight unaccompanied juveniles were among the detainees. Who were these juveniles? How old were they? What were they doing on a marijuana farm? 10 juveniles, all in all, were detained, including the eight unaccompanied ones, and now Glass House Farms is under investigation for violating child labor laws, in addition to harboring illegal aliens.
In a video clip posted Friday by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, "The Hammer" made one more flat statement:

That's good. Deport them all.
Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.
