Tom Homan’s responsibilities as border czar seemingly now include policing the bounds of acceptable dissent. On Tuesday, Homan fancifully blamed politicians’ criticisms of Immigration and Customs Enforcement for an uptick in violence toward the agency’s personnel.
On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, the border czar supported the practice of ICE agents concealing their identities with masks. “The masks, I think, are important. How do we get rid of the masks? Stop the hateful rhetoric,” he said, before alleging an eightfold increase in assaults on ICE personnel over last year.
Who, by Homan’s lights, is responsible for the rhetoric (and, in turn, the violence)? “I specifically mean members of Congress,” he said. “If members of Congress can compare ICE to the Nazis, that gives some of those people on the far left, the out of control people—it emboldens them to take action.”
Lmao “Making the obvious comparison of our secret police to that other secret police, is the only reason we have to act like Nazis!”
Half of the articles I’m seeing out of Fox these days have to do with poor ICE agents being targeted for doing their jobs and exaggerating the threat they face.
They are fucking terrified of the possibility of an actual operator opening a can of whoopass on their knuckledraggers Dallas-style. And I guess a little giddy, because then they’ll have consent to ramp things up.
A POS will often lament on being called a POS.
I wonder if he made that connection when it was Trump doing it…

Ice is Trumps gestapo. There is nothing nice to say about them.
You want me to say something nice about ICE? Die in a ditch, and I’ll say, “good riddance. I’ll never have to hear about them again.”
Tom Homan is a little bitch
Maybe they should stop behaving like a bunch of discount SS agents wearing gang clothes and stop kidnapping people.

Statistically I would bet that is pretty accurate considering there has been like a 38-fold increase in the number of ICE goons available to be assaulted
They’re counting any injury during an “arrest”, no matter how minor or who’s at fault as assault. Pulling away from being grabbed, officers (often older, overweight ones) hurting themselves while throwing people to the ground, etc.
Awww… I’m sorry, I’ll take a break from bashing ICE for a moment: fuck Tom Homan. I know for a fact that Tom Homan exclusively has sex laying on his back, because he only knows how to fuck up.
There. I hope ICE’s widdle feefees are all better now
Thank Obama for the gift of Tom Homan. Not only did Obama handpick him, but Obama awarded Homan with a Presidential Rank Award.
Democrats are not your friends.
