Nancy Pelosi outrage alert.

Via The Hill:

Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Thomas Homan on Wednesday backed up President Trump’s “animals” characterization of the MS-13 gang, calling Trump’s controversial description “kind.”

During the president’s roundtable discussion in New York addressing immigration loopholes, Homan praised Trump for his positions on border security and weighed in on the criticism Trump received last week.

“I know you’ve been taking a hit on your comments about animals and MS-13, but I think you’re being kind. Animals kill for survival, MS-13 kills for sport,” Homan, who has been overseeing the deportation crackdown under the Trump administration, told the president.

Trump hit back at critics who said using the term “animals” was inappropriate and doubled down on his use of the word during Wednesday’s roundtable discussion.

“I called them animals the other day and I was met with rebuke,” Trump said. “They said, ‘These are people.’ These are not people, these are animals and we have to be very, very tough.”
