Send THIS criminal away, or I’ll do it myself: It’s about Tom Homan, justice, and the fight for America’s soul
In a shocking move that shocked politicians and the media, former ICE Director Tom Homan made it clear that the American people will not stay quiet while justice is broken. Homan’s fiery threat to step in personally if California dared free an illegal immigrant accused of killing two American teens was more than just a headline. It was a war cry against the careless policies of sanctuary states and the powerful politicians who support them.
Homan spoke with passion because he had a lot of “Angel Moms and Dads” to draw on for his words. These are parents who have buried their children because of crimes committed by people who shouldn’t have been in the United States in the first place. For Homan, this wasn’t just another news story. The tone was private. It was a matter of conviction. It was about what the country stood for.
Reentering the country illegally after being deported is a federal crime. The law says it’s black and white, but in liberal areas like California, people don’t seem to care much about it. Homan said that the federal government and, if necessary, he would make sure that justice was done if California didn’t follow the law. It was a rare and fierce moment of clarity in a political age that is too often marked by weakness and giving in.
California’s risky dance with letting criminals go
The thing that made Homan so angry couldn’t have been more sad or annoying. Oscar Eduardo Ortega Angiano was going to be released early from California, even though he was being held by ICE and was serving a 10-year sentence for killing two American teens while driving drunk. It was incredibly early, not just early. This wasn’t a small mistake in the process. People did this on purpose because they believe that being politically correct is more important than public safety.
The laws that make California a sanctuary state are not just ideas. Really bad things happen because of them. When the state hides criminal aliens from federal officials, it puts all Americans at risk. In a larger sense, Ortega Angiano’s case shows how the rights of American citizens are being pushed to the side by progressive activists and leaders who want to make a political point.
Families that were broken up by this tragedy weren’t asked for their opinions when choices were being made. The parents didn’t get asked if it was fair to let the man go who ruined their children’s lives go free. Again, the powerful people made decisions without seeing how their dangerous policies would affect people in the real world.
The federal government steps in to protect the rule of law
The Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security stepped in when they saw the huge injustice happening in real time. They promised that Ortega Angiano would not get away with it. ICE would be waiting at the gates to arrest him. Federal officials were ready to file new charges against him, which would guarantee that he would spend more years in prison, away from the American streets that he had already hurt so badly.
This move by the federal government was more than just a way to fix things. It was a lifeline that was needed for a country that was falling apart because of lawlessness that looked like kindness. As a warning, there are still men and women in the federal government ready to fight for the rule of law and the safety of American families, even if state leaders don’t do their jobs.
It wasn’t just one man in this fight. It was about getting a point across. If California and other “sanctuary states” didn’t protect their own people, patriots like Tom Homan would lead the federal government to do it without them.
What’s wrong with our immigration system
The things that Ortega Angiano did in the past should have kept him from ever coming back to American land. He had been sent away more than once, but he kept coming back, undaunted and eventually killing himself. His being here wasn’t a mistake; it was the expected outcome of an immigration system that is set up to fail at every level.
Repeated deportations don’t mean much when the border is open, law enforcement is weak, and politicians praise people who don’t follow the rules. The fact that Ortega Angiano can keep coming back shows that the system is not just overworked; it is truly broken, and people who see political gain in mass immigration are doing it on purpose.
It was right for the commentators to show their outrage and argue that deporting these people is not enough. A system that lets dangerous crooks come back over and over again is one that is begging for tragedy. They wanted harsher government punishments, like life sentences when it was appropriate, to make sure that people who hurt American families would never be able to do it again.
Gavin Newsom’s political turning around
As the public’s anger grew, even Gavin Newsom, California’s Democratic Governor, had to say that he would do what was right. According to carefully planned comments, Newsom said that California was working with ICE and had no plans to let Ortega Angiano go free.
But people who have been following California’s politics for a while knew better. The things Newsom said were not the result of a sudden moral awakening. They were an attempt to fix the damage done by a man who was in a bad situation and couldn’t defend himself. It’s much more important to look at what the governor has actually done than just saying he supports federal immigration officials. He has pushed for sanctuary laws, weakened criminal penalties, and limited the power of local police.
Newsom’s political show couldn’t hide the truth: California’s policies made it almost possible for this horrible thing to happen. If federal authorities and conservative media sources hadn’t been so alert and kept an eye on Ortega Angiano, he probably would have slipped through the cracks again, this time with terrible results.
A Look at the Long History of Liberal Immigration Policy
The mess in California is not the only one happening. Over the past few decades, loose immigration policies have turned neighborhoods that used to be thriving into battlegrounds. People who wrote about California’s political change said that the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act, which was signed by President Ronald Reagan, was the main cause.
Reagan’s amnesty policy, even though it was meant to help, let a lot of people in, which changed the political and demographic landscape of California forever. The state used to be a stronghold for Republicans, but now it’s a stronghold for progressives, where extreme policies are tried out before being made law across the country.
Democrats have learned from what happened in California. They know that giving everyone amnesty and letting people come in without any checks can forever tip the political scales in their favor. It’s easy to see what they want: to create a one-party system that makes it hard for people to disagree and hidden conservative beliefs.
Things are at stake more than ever. There is more to the fight over immigration than just economy or keeping the borders safe. It comes down to who will decide America’s future: a free people guided by the Constitution or a captive community ruled by bureaucratic decree?
Differences in justice that should make every American angry
People who commented on the show made some very bad comparisons between how the January 6th suspects were treated and how illegal immigrants like Ortega Angiano were treated. Enrique Tarrio, who was charged on January 6 but wasn’t even at the Capitol, was given an unbelievable 22-year prison term. At the same time, Ortega Angiano, whose careless acts killed two people, was only facing a 10-year sentence and would be free in less than four years.
This huge difference is not just an accident. It’s because the justice system is becoming more and more like a tool against political opponents while being soft on criminals whose crimes threaten to destroy American society.
A system that is crazy about “restorative justice” and “equity” treats illegal aliens who do horrible things with shocking kindness. At the same time, brave Americans who try to stand up to the political establishment are met with harsh punishments, public ridicule, and financial ruin.
People in the US are not blind. They can see the difference. They think it’s unfair. They are getting more and more angry every day.
A very serious warning about the future of America
The Trump government did a lot to secure the border and bring back the rule of law, but those gains are not safe. Every time there is an election, there is a chance that the new government will take away the rights that were worked so hard to get and open the gates again.
The left’s desire for open borders is not based on charity, but on smarts. They want to bring in new voters, change American society, and upset the balance of power for good. They have a long-term plan, and if conservatives don’t fight back with the same determination, the results will be permanent.
The Ortega Angiano case shows a very bad picture of America that will happen if the left’s ideas are accepted: a country where illegal immigrants are safe, citizens are useless, and the government is against the people it’s supposed to help.
Why conservative media is so important
Instead of being careful, conservative reporters and commentators might not have brought this story to the attention of people across the country. Sara Gonzales of BlazeTV, Breanna Morello of “The Breanna Morello Show,” and Logan Hall, a planner for Blaze Media, all did important work to bring this into the light so it could not be ignored.
They were brave and determined, which is a strong reminder of why independent, conservative media sources are so important to the survival of our republic. In a time when progressive propaganda is spread by the mass media, the truth needs to be fought for and yelled from every rooftop.
These voices are not going to let stories like Ortega Angiano’s get lost in time. They know that every time they put something out there, it hurts the corrupt system that lives in the dark.
Finally, a call to action
Tom Homan’s promise to step in personally wasn’t just a promise to a country in grief. It was a test for every American who cares about safety, justice, and independence. There are many places where people can fight against sanctuary laws, open borders, and criminal leniency. The most important place is at the polls.
California was the first battleground, but there will be more. The people who want to take away American freedom never give up. They will keep using every fault, every bit of public apathy, and every act of political weakness they can find.
The people of America need to be ready to stand as strong as Tom Homan for the future of the country. If people don’t hold their leaders accountable, don’t believe the left’s fake sympathy, and insist that American lives and American law come first, then that’s what will happen.
There is nothing less than the future of the United States at stake.
What if our leaders don’t fight for it?
Then we need to be ready to do it ourselves, as Tom Homan showed us.
