In an exclusive interview with The Alex Marlow Show in Washington, D.C., President Trump\u2019s Border Czar Tom Homan discussed his decision to rejoin government service to help secure the southern border. Homan, who began his career with the U.S. Border Patrol in 1984 and later became the first ICE director to rise through the ranks of the Department of Homeland Security, described the human and social costs of mass immigration policies and why he felt compelled to return to public service.<\/p>\n
Homan, who has served under six presidents beginning with Ronald Reagan, is widely regarded as a nonpartisan figure in immigration enforcement. Since returning under Trump, he has faced intense criticism from opponents of the administration\u2019s border policies. \u201cI don\u2019t care,\u201d Homan told Marlow regarding the threats he faces. \u201cI knew the hate was coming. Unfortunately, my family pays the price. I haven\u2019t lived with them in months because of the death threats. But my family understands the important mission.\u201d He described helping the president as a moral imperative, noting that thousands of lives have been lost due to inadequate border enforcement.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on his decades-long career, Homan recounted harrowing experiences that shaped his commitment to border security. He spoke of witnessing the deaths of migrants, including 19 people trapped in a tractor-trailer, and a five-year-old boy found with his father. He also described cases of children as young as nine suffering abuse at the hands of smugglers. \u201cIf you wore my shoes for three and a half decades, you wouldn\u2019t ask that question,\u201d Homan said, emphasizing the personal toll these tragedies took on him. He concluded that securing the border is not only a professional duty but a deeply personal mission, stating, \u201cWhen I\u2019m asked to come back and secure the border and save lives, how do you say no to that?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
