Tom Homan, the former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and now designated as President Trump\u2019s chosen \u201cborder czar,\u201d has disclosed a deeply troubling personal impact of his prominent return to government\u2014he is currently living apart from his wife due to a surge of death threats.<\/p>\n
In a poignant interview with New York Post columnist Miranda Devine on her new podcast, Pod Force One, Homan spoke candidly. \u201cI spent a significant amount of time with my boys during their upbringing, but as I progressed in my career\u2014first as ICE director and now returning\u2014I find that I do not see my family as often,\u201d Homan stated.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy wife is living separately from me at this time, primarily because I have been working long hours, but more so due to the death threats directed at me,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n
She is in a different location. I visit her as frequently as possible, but the threats against me and my family are simply outrageous.\u201d<\/p>\n
Homan, a key player in the Trump administration\u2019s border enforcement strategy, was appointed by President Trump shortly after his 2024 election victory to lead the new administration\u2019s extensive mass deportation initiative. This call came while Homan was dining with his wife\u2014transforming an ordinary evening into a momentous occasion.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was the first person he contacted to bring back, which was a source of pride, but I was actually out to dinner with my wife when my phone rang, and I saw it was \u2018POTUS.\u2019 My wife remarked, \u2018He\u2019s asking him to return, isn\u2019t he?\u2019\u201d Homan recounted.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I stepped outside, and the first thing he said to me was, \u2018You\u2019ve been complaining about it for four years. Well, come back and fix it.\u2019 So how could I refuse?\u201d<\/p>\n
That phone call propelled Homan back into the national limelight\u2014and into the sights of his political adversaries. His leadership in ICE\u2019s efforts to combat illegal immigration has rendered him a hero among conservatives while making him a target for open-borders advocates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
