Thomas Homan

Thomas Dou­glas Homan is a for­mer act­ing direc­tor of U.S. Immi­gra­tion and Cus­toms Enforce­ment (ICE) under the Trump admin­is­tra­tion and a staunch advo­cate for stricter immi­gra­tion enforce­ment poli­cies. Known for his out­spo­ken views on bor­der secu­ri­ty and ille­gal immi­gra­tion, Homan has been a promi­nent voice in con­ser­v­a­tive cir­cles, often appear­ing on media out­lets to dis­cuss these issues. In July 2024, Homan addressed the Nation­al Con­ser­vatism Con­fer­ence, a gath­er­ing of pol­i­cy­mak­ers, intel­lec­tu­als, and pub­lic fig­ures rep­re­sent­ing a diverse col­lec­tion of fig­ures in the Nation­al Con­ser­v­a­tive move­ment. At the con­fer­ence, Homan spoke on the top­ic “What Con­gress Must Do to Fix the South­ern Bor­der, “where he mixed fac­tu­al data with spec­u­la­tion and exag­ger­a­tion, using emo­tion­al­ly charged lan­guage to frame immi­gra­tion as a threat to both secu­ri­ty and soci­etal cohe­sion. Homan is also the pres­i­dent and CEO of the 501(c)(3) non­prof­it Border911 Foun­da­tion, Inc., described as:

…pro­mot­ing extrem­ist poli­cies, such as declar­ing an inva­sion at the bor­der, to elect­ed lead­ers and law enforce­ment offi­cials and false­ly por­tray­ing the coun­try as beset by vot­er fraud, accord­ing to a joint inves­ti­ga­tion by a mul­ti­state team of jour­nal­ists from Light­house Reports, the Texas Observ­er, the Ari­zona Cen­ter for Inves­tiga­tive Report­ing, and pal­abra based on dozens of inter­views, atten­dance of var­i­ous Border911 events, and reviews of pub­lic records, videos, speech­es, and social media posts.
