The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) has arrested members of 262 gangs in the last two and a half years alone, former acting ICE Director Tom Homan said during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily.

Host Mike Slater pointed to recent headlines about the number of Chinese gangs operating in states such as Oklahoma and Montana, pointing to the fentanyl and marijuana industries.

Homan said the presence of these gangs — from MS-13 to Chinese gangs — is undeniable. He provided more context to the severity of this issue, bringing up data in Texas pulled by the governor.

“In the last two and a half years Texas DPS and the National Guard working on the border arrested people from 262 different gangs,” he revealed.

“Two hundred and sixty two gangs — I didn’t realize there that many gangs in the world, but gang members are coming across,” he said, noting that these are only people they arrested.

“Think about the 3.2 million got-aways. Now they’re most likely bad guys because they paid more to get away,” he said, asserting these people are most assuredly gang members, people bringing in fentanyl, and individuals from countries that sponsor terror.
Homan said this is the “biggest national security issue in my lifetime.”
“And I stress that … put all this other stuff aside. This is the biggest national security vulnerability this country has seen since 9/11. It is not ok. I don’t care what it costs. We need to secure that border,” he added. (Read more: Breitbart, 11/1/2024)  (Archive)
