President Trump’s border czar Tom Homan said in a new interview that he and his wife are not currently living together because of death threats he has received for enforcing Trump’s immigration crackdown and the amount of time he spends working.

“My wife’s living separately from me right now, mainly because I worked for many hours, but mostly because of the death threats against me,” Homan told New York Post columnist Miranda Devine on Wednesday’s episode of her “Pod Force One” podcast. “I see her as much as I can, but the death threats against me and my family are outrageous.”

Homan, who holds the formal title White House executive associate director of enforcement and removal operations, was a top immigration aide to Trump during his first presidency but moved to the private sector and worked as an immigration policy pundit over the past four years.

“Even my wife said, ‘You know, it’s a huge pay cut,’ because I’m doing good in the private sector,” he said of receiving Trump’s call to join the new administration while the couple was having dinner one night. “She’s in the middle of remodeling — months of stuff — and all that stopped because I’m leaving the private sector, going back to a government paycheck.”

He said she urged him to do it anyway.

“She said, ‘You need to go back or we’ll get divorced … because if you don’t go back, you’ll be waking up every day, pissed off that you didn’t go back, and I’ve gotta live with four more years of you being pissed off, so go back and do the job,'” Homan recalled, chuckling.

Homan told Devine he didn’t hesitate at the chance to join Trump’s second administration this year and doesn’t regret the decision, despite personal sacrifices.

“I’m not going anywhere,” he said. “I mean, I had a thousand protestors at my house in Upstate New York, my lake house.”

“I’m not going away, ’cause I know how important it is to secure our border,” he added.

Homan defended Immigrations and Customs Enforcement activity in Los Angeles, which sparked mass anti-ICE protests that prompted Trump to deploy thousands of National Guardsmen and Marines to guard federal buildings and workers.

“We were serving three criminal arrest warrants … it was a criminal investigation that happened to deal with money laundering, tax evasion and customs fraud,” Homan said. “We know that in the Garment District, there is strong suspicion that some of that funding is sent to Mexico and Colombia to fund cartel activity, so it was a criminal investigation.”

“Right away, the left went nuts, saying ‘ICE is doing an immigration raid,’ and they came out in force,” he added.

Over the course of the nearly hourlong interview with Devine, Homan praised New York Mayor Eric Adams (D), saying he believes Adams cares about public safety, and derided other Democrats whom he accused of using immigration as a political ploy.

“Every Democrat I ask these questions to, they can’t answer me: What’s the downside of less drugs coming across? What’s the downside of less sex trafficking of women and children? What’s the downside of less people in terrorist organizations coming across? What’s the downside of less gang members and criminals coming across?” Homan said. “What’s the downside of a secure border?”

“They’ll never admit it, but they know that they see a future political benefit,” he added.

The irony. So sad when families are torn apart and spouses cannot be with each other, right?

Super controversial take, but the guy is just doing his job. He could certainly do it in a less obnoxious way with tact, something everyone in the slump administration lacks, but he is just doing his job. If their agents weren't running around dressed like bandits maybe they wouldn't give off such a bad impression.

Get mad at congress who can actually do something about it, including stopping him from doing his job by changing the laws. But who am I kidding, they aren't even accountable to their own citizens the voters.

This is like getting mad at the repo man for why the car got taken away.

^Bad take. Get informed. Read up on his stance on immigration. In the Obama Admin he was for separating children from their parents as a tactic to decrease numbers of illegal border crossings.

He's not just doing his job. He enjoys what is happening and HOW it's happening. He's pathetic.

Who enables this? Congress. Case closed.

I'm sorry, I must have missed the part when Congress set up the deportation priorities, logistics, and operational practices that are being implemented right now and directly structured by prople like Homan, Miller, and Noem. Maybe I was asleep the day that happened.

Read the article... Homan took a pay cut to get back into Flaccid Don's Admin. He was practically salivating at the thought of the mass deportations they were campaigning on. "Just doing his job" is certainly one way to put.

Nope, DogJuiceMan is right.

Congress enabled all of this thru inaction.
Also, for every action - there's a reaction.

The Biden Admin's immig. record was atrocious. They turned border enforcement agents into ad hoc social workers. Gave work permits and socials like candy to thousands of mofos who had no business being here while completely ignoring the needs of longtime immigrants already here. Hell, they even created an app to facilitate immigrants into abusing the broken asylum system.

Now , thanks to the Biden admin, we are getting the long overdue conservative backlash and it is painful to watch. Everyday is pain. That decrepit old fuck and his impotent democrat allies doomed us to 4 years of orange man doing orange things.

All we can do is survive and hope we're not caught by the b.s.

Makes my skin crawl to think that capturing "illegals" is enough to make up for a pay cut. Goes far beyond just doing a job. Its like the repo man watching you in the shower as they come for your car.


Biden wasted 4 years rewarding Venezuelans with easy access to the country with abuse of the case-by-case parole system. All just for the citizens of Venezuelan origin to side with Trump. Can democrats stop setting themselves up for big defeats like this?
