The Border Czar Defends ICE and Border Patrol

In a powerful interview, former Trump administration official Tom Homan—often referred to as the “Border Czar”—delivers a sharp defense of ICE and Border Patrol amid growing political backlash and record migrant crossings. As former Acting Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homan pulls no punches in addressing the criticism leveled at border agents and immigration enforcement under Trump administrations.

In this episode of The Capitol Hill Show, Homan lays out his case for why ICE and Border Patrol are essential to U.S. national security, slams what he sees as political interference in law enforcement, and warns of the long-term consequences of a weakened border strategy.

This interview comes at a critical moment: with border policy shaping the election narrative and both parties battling over immigration reform, Homan’s voice represents a defiant and unapologetic stance on enforcement-first immigration policy.
