Tom Homan: “We have the highest detention standards in the industry…”

“… the job the right way or you're going to have American people get angry about it. We are doing the job the right way. As I said earlier today, Chris, We have the highest detention standards in the industry. Higher than any state prison, any federal lockup, BOP lockup, or any county jail. Highest detention. Go to ice.gov and look at the detention standards. Highest in the industry. We take very good care of these people. And look, no. No one wants to be detained.” (01:55–02:05)
