President Donald Trump’s second term has gotten off to an encouraging start, thanks in large part to the unified message being delivered by top officials in the administration.

One notable example has been border czar Tom Homan, who has repeatedly stood up to leftist politicians and media personalities determined to disparage Trump’s immigration policies.

After asking him a question about the White House’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to remove violent gang members in the U.S. illegally, one reporter learned just how quick Homan is able to turn the tables.

As Fox News reported:

In order to address dangerous migrants, President Donald Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which allows deportation of natives and citizens of an enemy nation without a hearing. This law has been invoked three times, during the War of 1812, World War I and World War II.

As a result, all Venezuelan citizens 14 years or older who are members of the Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua (TdA), who are within the United States and are not naturalized, or lawful permanent residents, may be apprehended, restrained, secured and removed as “alien enemies,” according to Trump’s proclamation.

“What do you say to those who claim you’re using a 200-year-old law to circumvent due process?” a reporter asked Homan on Monday.

“An old law?” Homan asked. “Not as old as the Constitution. We still pay attention to that, don’t we?”

Homan then proceeded to shake his head and walk away from the gaggle of reporters.

It was just the latest memorable moment involving the tough-talking border czar in recent days:

In response to court challenges to the Trump administration’s efforts, Homan had this to say during a recent Fox News interview, per The Hill:

“I’m proud to be a part of this administration. We’re not stopping,” he said Monday on “Fox & Friends.”
