Border Czar Tom Homan recently appeared on Fox’s “Sunday Morning Futures” to discuss the significant strides being made by ICE under his leadership. Homan did not hold back in expressing his admiration for the hardworking agents who strive every day to enforce immigration laws. He credited President Trump with establishing what he described as the most secure border in the nation’s history.
“He’s a strong president. He’s keeping his foot on the gas. He’s not letting up,” Homan said, emphasizing Trump’s commitment to border security. He further elaborated on the role of ICE, stating, “We have the most secure border in the history of this nation right now because of President Trump’s leadership and the men and women of the Border Patrol, but we also have the most secure border in history because of the work of ICE.”
Homan underscored the focus of ICE agents on public safety threats, which he claims has resulted in a “historic number of prosecutions” for crimes such as interference and assault. He warned, “You put hands on an ICE officer, you’re going to jail. You make a threat, either online or in person, you’re going to jail.” This strong stance signals a zero-tolerance policy towards those who engage in violence against ICE personnel.
The warning extended to those who might misuse their First Amendment rights. Homan pointedly stated, “You can protest all you want. Exercise your First Amendment rights. You cross that line, you are going to jail.” This shows not just a commitment to enforcing the law, but also a clear message that illegal actions, particularly against law enforcement, will not be tolerated.
Homan further discussed the impact of Trump’s policies on illegal immigration, claiming that over 1.5 million illegal aliens have left the United States this year alone. “And why have they left this country? Because of President Trump and his policies,” he noted, suggesting that the message being sent to potential migrants is clear—there are significant consequences for illegal entry.
Every day, Homan explained, ICE teams are deployed across the country to enforce immigration laws. “We’re showing the world there are consequences,” he remarked. This enforcement is part of a broader strategy to ensure that potential border crossers understand the risks involved in making the journey.
Homan’s statements reflect a decisive commitment to law and order amidst ongoing debates about immigration policies. “This message we send to the whole world is a big part of the reason we have the most secure border in the history of this nation,” he concluded, reinforcing his belief in the effectiveness of current strategies under this administration.
