Tom Homan, President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming border czar, slammed Democrats on Monday after an illegal alien allegedly murdered a woman on the subway in New York City by lighting her on fire over the weekend.

The 33-year-old illegal alien is a Guatemalan national who previously was deported by the Trump administration just days after he illegally crossed the border in 2018. It is unknown when and where he illegally re-entered the U.S.

“This is another example of an illegal alien killing an American citizen. It’s almost a daily occurrence now,” Homan said. “You know, because a historic number of criminal aliens are walking the streets because of this administration’s policy and sanctuary jurisdictions and lax immigration enforcement.”

Homan said that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has tied the hands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, preventing them from arresting and removing illegal aliens unless they’ve already been convicted of a serious crime.

“So this is on this administration,” he said. “As far as Governor Hochul, shame on her. She supports sanctuary status in that state. She welcomed thousands of illegal aliens to her state.”

“She sent them to Buffalo and Syracuse. Murders occurred by illegal aliens in Buffalo and Syracuse,” he continued. “She had the green light law. ICE and CBP can’t even work with local law enforcement. Local law enforcement can’t share DMV data with these people. So Governor Hochul, shame on you, there is nothing can you say that’s going to make this right in New York.”
