Border Czar Tom Homan shut down CNN’s Kaitlan Collins during an interview on Monday night about the Trump administration’s mass deportation operation.

Homan made the remarks during an appearance on “The Source” when asked by Collins about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) going after illegal aliens hiding out in schools, churches, and hospitals so they could avoid being deported.

“What is the standard, I guess, to go into an elementary school?” Collins asked. “Because what we had heard from immigration advocates is that this is going to provide a chilling effect to parents in the school drop-off line or something of that matter.”

“It shouldn’t be a chilling effect unless your child is a terrorist or a public safety threat,” Homan responded. “If they are a public safety threat, a national security threat, they should be chilled. They should be afraid, because we’re looking for them.”

Collins said that the concern was really about parents who are illegal aliens.

“They’re not off the table either. I mean, they’re in the country illegally, they have got a problem,” Collins said. “I mean, it’s not OK — look, we — it’s not OK to enter this country illegally. It’s a crime. And that’s the way it’s supposed to be. I wouldn’t feel comfortable if I’m in Switzerland illegally. So we’re going to enforce the laws of this country.”

“National security threats and public safety threats have no safe haven in this country, and we will go where we got to go,” he added.
