Tom Homan was on News Nation tonight and explained why some non-criminal illegals are getting arrested in these ICE raids and it really makes perfect sense.

In short, Homan said when they target the illegals who are criminals or public safety threats in these sanctuary cities, they also encounter other illegals and will arrest them as well. He calls them ‘collaterals’:

“We’ve arrested 1300 people, over a thousand of them are criminals. Who are the other ones? They are either fugitives who’ve been through immigration court and ordered removed, and then8 became a fugitive, or collaterals. Where do the collateral arrests happen? In sanctuary cities, because they forced us into the community.

Look I said from day one, no one is off the table. If you’re in the United States illegally, you’ve got a problem. But we are concentrating on public safety threats first. It just makes sense.”

Homan goes on to make a plea to the sanctuary cities to honor detainer requests so that they can arrest these public safety threats in a controlled environment where it’s safer for officers, and there won’t be any collaterals if they don’t have to go into the community.
