We told you yesterday about acting ICE Director Thomas Homan’s exchange with Rep. Nanette Barragán, who accused him and his agency of being “anti-immigrant.” Homan reminded her that his agency enforces the laws Congress passes. If that wasn’t enough triggering for liberals, today, during a meeting with President Trump, Homan told the president that his much talked about word to describe MS-13 members might not have gone far enough:

Mark that down as another defense of MS-13.
Another leftist defending MS-13 just to cheap shot someone praising Trump. Yikes. https://t.co/lEr6TmwiPP

Unsurprisingly, the Left’s defense of MS-13 over Trump calling them “animals” hasn’t exactly helped reel in public support.
