Trump border chief piles on Democrat for ‘disgusting’ foreign allegiance as she remains silent

Donald Trump‘s Border Czar Tom Homan piled onto the slew of attacks being launched at controversial Democrat Delia Ramirez.

Illinois Rep. Ramirez stated during a press conference in Mexico over the weekend that she was ‘a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.’ 

That comment sparked ire from several Republicans in the MAGA wing of the party, as President Donald Trump pushes his ‘American First’ vision worldwide.

Homan became the latest high-profile Republican to condemn Ramirez’s remarks. 

‘I think what she said was disgusting…her commitment should be to her state and the people that put her in that position’ Homan said at the White House

Tennessee Republican Representative Andy Ogles wrote on X ‘Denaturalize, deport, and kick her off [the] Homeland Committee. We know where her allegiances lie.’ 

The Department of Homeland Security’s official X account responded to the video of Ramirez’s statement by posting a Theodore Roosevelt quote about American allegiance and condemning divided loyalties.

Homan also took some time during his Wednesday presser to decry the false narratives that have been reported about ‘Alligator Alcatraz,’ the Florida facility where illegal migrants are being housed while they await deportation.

Leo and Catherine Gentile hold signs near the entrance to the state-managed immigration detention center dubbed Alligator Alcatraz, located at the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport in the Florida Everglades on August 03, 2025 in Ochopee, Florida. Faith leaders led prayer for those being held within the facility

Reports have surfaced about inhumane treatment at the facility, and unjust conditions.

Homan said that such reporting was false. 

‘I get asked these questions all the time about the terrible, terrible ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ I went down there, and what I found out is there’s a lot of fake stories out there about medical attention, about, you know, religious freedom and having clergy there. I went down there, I looked at the books. So it’s just simply a false story,’ Homan told reporters.

Homan also dismissed concerns about the environmental impact of the facility.

‘So all you know, they take waste out of there every day,’ Homan noted, further adding that not ‘one foot of concrete’ was put down that ‘wasn’t already there.’

Finally, Trump’s border czar called out one group of individuals who he believes keep getting in the way of the administration moving forward with their agenda:

‘I’m sick and tired of the radical judges trying to shut down everything we’re doing,’ Homan said.

‘It’s ridiculous. I thought the Supreme Court was pretty clear last month about these radical judges trying to, you know, stop the Trump administration from implementing our agenda that American people voted for,’ Homan told reporters Wednesday. 

Overall, the unveiling of ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ has gotten mixed reviews. 

Republicans, led by the Trump administration, are big fans of the facility being used to house illegal migrants in Florida as they await deportation.

A migrant held in the Alligator Alcatraz detention center described dozens of inmates being corralled inside cages at the disorienting, mosquito-infested facility in an interview last month with NBC6. 

Democrat Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz called ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ an ‘internment  camp’ during a visit to the facility last month, noting that the conditions were ‘appalling.’ Wasserman Schultz also said that the whole facility was a ‘stunt’ and that human beings were ‘abused.’

Congressman Max Frost, another Florida Representative, said that toilets being clogged in the facilities have caused ‘feces’ to ‘spread everywhere.’

Trump toured the newly constructed migrant detention facility deep in the Florida Everglades – nicknamed ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ –  in July. He then praised its remote, high-security design, promising it would soon house what he called ‘the most menacing migrants, the most vicious people on the planet.’

Juan Palma, 48, who has spent more than two weeks at the center in the Florida Everglades, told NBC6 that the lights stay on around the clock, leaving him clueless as to the time of day. 

The Cuban migrant said that he and 32 other people live in what he described as a cage and that they are only allowed to shower every three or four days.
