January 1, Border Czar Blasts Democrat ICE Demands

Wyatt’s Take

• Tom Homan says Democrat demands on ICE are “unreasonable.”
• He argues ICE agents need masks for their own safety due to soaring threats.
• Homan dismisses claims of racial profiling by ICE.

The border debate heated up when Tom Homan pushed back against Democrat calls for change. He says officers need to keep wearing masks and protect their names because threats and doxing are out of control.

On “Face the Nation,” Homan said, “When they say, ‘stop racial profiling,’ that’s just not occurring. ICE will detain, briefly detain, and question somebody based on reasonable suspicion — [it] has nothing to do with racial profiling.”

He explained that growing assaults and threats force agents to use masks. “As far as a mask … I don’t like the masks either, but because [assaults] against ICE officers are up over 1,500%, and threats are up over 8,000%, these men and women have to protect themselves.”

Homan also addressed the privacy of agents, saying they don’t reveal names to prevent being targeted. He said, “Why don’t they talk about maybe passing legislation to make it illegal to dox agents or something like that. But the masks right now are for officer safety reasons.”

He made clear ICE faces a unique threat, unlike any other law enforcement. “I don’t know of another law enforcement agency in the country that has an 8,000% increase in threats. Just yesterday, the director of ICE, his wife was filmed walking to work, his home address has been doxed, his kids have been doxed and filmed.”

The fight over border security isn’t going away. Homan says ICE needs to stay strong as illegal border crossings continue to rise, and Congress debates Homeland Security funding.
