Trump border czar Tom Homan appeared Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” to justify ICE’s immigration raids in Los Angeles and say he’s “not biting” on California Governor Gavin Newsom ‘s taunt to arrest him.

Homan began by defending ICE’s controversial raids Friday at an L.A. Home Depot and in the city’s fashion district.

“It wasn’t an immigration raid. It was to service three criminal warrants at locations based on a large criminal conspiracy that ICE is investigating,” Homan said. “This was a criminal investigation that they all responded to in the beginning. That’s how it all started.”

“We took a lot of bad people off the street the last couple of days,” Homan continued. “What ICE did the last couple of days is make Los Angeles safer by taking public safety threats off the street.”
