US EditionHoman says physical appearance ‘can’t be the sole reason to raise reasonable suspicion’
UNITED STATES, JUL 13 – Tom Homan emphasized that ICE uses multiple factors, including occupation and actions, to form reasonable suspicion for detentions while officers receive regular Fourth Amendment training.
- Tom Homan, the former ICE acting chief and Trump's border czar, clarified that physical appearance alone cannot justify detaining someone under recent legal rulings.
- This clarification followed a federal judge's temporary restraining order barring ICE from detaining people in California without reasonable suspicion based on articulable facts like location, occupation, and behavior.
- Homan emphasized that ICE officers undergo regular Fourth Amendment training and detain only when a combination of factors, not just appearance, raise suspicion of unlawful presence.
- Homan emphasized that those residing in the country lawfully have no reason to feel fearful, confirmed the administration's intention to follow the court's directives, and stated they will challenge the ruling through the legal system, anticipating a favorable outcome on appeal.
- These statements underline ongoing tensions between ICE enforcement policies and judicial limits, with implications for how immigration agents conduct detentions amid public and political scrutiny.
