#200 Tom Homan - The U.S. Border Czar

Begged his father, please don't let me die. I want to see mom again. I want to see my mommy. And when you hear the testimony from the surviving witnesses, it just tore you up how this child, no five-year-old should have to beg for his life. No five-year-olds would be baking to death in a black box. That got up to 175 degrees, they said. And he was the first one to die.

That never got fully vetted, because some witnesses said it didn't happen, but his father did die on top of his child, and it just, you know, hovered him. You think about it, I just don't think about it. They were going to rip this boy apart? That was testimony from a couple of them people, and a couple of people said that wasn't true, but there's a reason.

The father was over the top of him, like this. We asked why. Anyway, child was the first one to die. Then so many people were starting to die. And there's so many people in back of the tractor trailer, they were dying, standing up and trying to find a place to fall. And like I said, when we got the crime scene, most of them in underwear, trying to get some relief from the heat.

So through that investigation, the first couple of weeks, I'm listening to this testimony and I just don't think about, okay, that child died. I'm thinking about how he died. what his last two hours was like. What was his last hour like? His father couldn't help him. His father put him in that position, begging his father to help him. His father can't.

They're in a steel box, locked in a steel box. No air in there. The air compressor was turned off. And information was, it was turned off because he wanted to draw attention to the truck. Because if the truck's empty, going through a checkpoint, Air conditioning on, that means you got something back there.

So there's a lot of testimony from a lot of different witnesses saying a lot of different things. But the way that child died, and I didn't sleep for a week down there. I'm a pretty tough guy, but that affected me. Because I had a five-year-old son at the time, and you started thinking about why is my son lucky and that child wasn't.
