Homan was talking about Minnesota and other ICE shootings and the public demand for federal law enforcement agents to wear body cameras following to multiple ICE killings, including deaths in Maine and Texas this month.
“All the mistakes they say happened in Minnesota — the mistakes they claim in Minnesota, a lot of them I don’t think were mistakes,” Homan admitted, shocking onlookers.
He also argued that the people killed by ICE did not follow directions, which led to their demise.
“It comes down to one simple fact — these people failed to comply with law enforcement … all they had to do is comply. If they did, they’d be alive today,” Homan said.
Before walking off upset, he complained that he can’t buy milk in a store without a security detail, calling it “pathetic and disgusting.”
