Lawmakers’ Rhetoric Blamed for Rise in Violence Targeting ICE, says Homan

Former border czar Tom Homan issued a strong warning during a national television appearance this week, saying that politically charged statements from members of Congress are putting the lives of immigration officers in jeopardy.

According to Breitbart, speaking on the July 18 broadcast of Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” Homan said inflammatory language from lawmakers has incited attacks against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and facilities.

Homan, who previously served under the Trump administration as border czar, joined host Cheryl Casone on Friday morning to discuss the increasing threats directed at ICE agents. Casone opened the segment by pointing to the danger Homan himself faces, including credible death threats, prompting him to take extreme personal safety measures.

During the interview, Homan attributed a recent increase in violence toward immigration officers to the statements made by some Democratic lawmakers. He asserted that continued comparisons of ICE to terrorist organizations or authoritarian regimes have fueled these actions.

He said he had previously warned that such strong language could result in tragic consequences. “I said two months ago, if this rhetoric continues, there will be bloodshed,” he told Casone. “Unfortunately, I was right.”
