"White House Border Czar Tom Homan is begging Democratic politicians to stop criticizing ICE and Border Patrol agents, saying their job is already hard enough and that they don't need American politicians putting targets on their backs for apprehending illegal immigrants. Homan made his plea during a press conference in San Diego on Saturday. He was discussing how border crossings have plummeted during President Donald Trump's first year back in office hitting a 50-year low at the southern border; Homan said that work is being undermined by Dems who are publicly ridiculing ICE and Border Patrol agents for doing their jobs."
"He did not call any politicians out by name, but there are a few prominent examples to point to this year. Notably, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (D) have lambasted the Trump Administration for its crackdown on illegal immigrants, with Pritzker comparing ICE raids to Adolf Hitler rounding up Jews and other minorities in Nazi Germany. This is how authoritarian regimes do it, Pritzker said in October. And Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic socialist who will soon be New York City's mayor, put out a video last week on how NYC residents can resist ICE agents."
Tom Homan urged Democratic politicians to stop criticizing ICE and Border Patrol agents, saying attacks put targets on agents and make their work harder. The plea occurred during a press conference in San Diego amid a reported 50-year low in southern border crossings during President Donald Trump's first year back in office. Homan warned that public ridicule undermines enforcement and pleaded that he does not want to bury any more agents. Critics cited include Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, who compared ICE raids to Nazi roundups. Incoming New York mayor Zohran Mamdani posted a video advising residents how to resist ICE agents. No agents have died in 2025; the Cato Institute reported 15 agent deaths in 2021.
