Homan once warned against sweeping immigration enforcement raids: NBC News

Tom Homan emphasized focusing enforcement on immigrants with criminal records to prevent public backlash, noting 61% of Americans felt ICE tactics had gone too far, a poll showed.

  • Tom Homan, the White House “border czar,” said last year that federal immigration enforcement should focus on targeted operations rather than broad raids, arguing that prioritizing criminal undocumented immigrants would maintain public support for Trump’s policies.
  • In an interview for the forthcoming book Undue Process, Homan emphasized that enforcement must be done “in a humane manner” and suggested that sticking to targeted priorities would keep the confidence of the American people.
  • His remarks came amid fierce backlash to sweeping immigration operations — including controversial raids and protests following the fatal shootings of U.S. citizens by federal agents in Minneapolis — and after Homan was sent to lead enforcement there, replacing a Border Patrol official.
