WATCH: Tom Homan reveals ‘biggest concern’ on Iranian sleeper cells inside U.S.
Tom Homan, President Donald Trump’s border czar, is warning of Iranian sleeper cells inside America who could retaliate in the wake of U.S. military strikes in Iran on Saturday.
Appearing on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo on the Fox News Channel, Homan said there were “1,272 nationals of Iran released into the country” during the administration of Democrat President Joe Biden.
“You compare that to the Trump administration, you have zero,” he explained. “Under Joe Biden, we had over 10 million people cross that border.”
“But my biggest concern from Day One, beyond the fentanyl, beyond the sex trafficking of women and children, were the 2 million known gotaways. Over 2 million people crossed that border, we don’t know who they are, where they came from, because they got away because Border Patrol was so overwhelmed with the humanitarian crisis that Biden created.”

“Joe Biden let MILLIONS of unknown gotaways cross the border. We don’t know who they are… but Iranian passports were found ditched south of the border with prayer mats.”

“What gives me any comfort at all is that you don’t have [former FBI Director] Christopher Wray there. You’ve got Kash Patel there. You don’t have [former DHS Secrtary] Alejandro Mayorkas there anymore, you got Kristi Noem. And you certainly don’t have Kamala Harris as a border czar.”
“Do we know where every one of the 2 million [gotaways] are? No. We don’t know who they all are. We don’t know why they’re here, where they came from. But we do know [from] border intelligence over the last four years, they found prayer mats south of the border. They found identification from people from Iran, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Syria south of the border.
“So we know that some terrorists have crossed that border. We’d be a fool to think zero crossed. The thing is, though, we’ve got President Trump as a commander in chief who’s put all resources on that.
“That’s why President Trump from Day One, ICE operations, despite what the left media says, he has been focused on national security threats and public safety threats, and between ICE and the bureau we’ve removed thousands of national security threats because of President Trump’s leadership on this.”
