During a Sunday interview with Fox News host Jason Chaffetz, Border Czar Tom Homan made headlines by revealing that individuals funding violent anti-ICE protests could face prosecution. Homan claimed that many protesters are paid and that federal authorities are working to identify those financing these demonstrations—especially if they’re providing weapons or materials that could harm agents. “They’ll be held accountable to the highest standards of the law,” he stated.

Homan defended ICE, stressing that agents are simply enforcing immigration laws passed by Congress. He urged protesters to direct their anger at lawmakers, not law enforcement. “We’re not making this stuff up,” he said. He also pushed back against politicians comparing ICE to Nazis, saying, “If they’re racist for enforcing the law, what’s that make them? They wrote the law.”

He has consistently criticized Democratic politicians for what he describes as dangerous rhetoric. In July, Homan warned that inflammatory statements could lead to violence, referencing the shooting of a Texas police officer outside an ICE facility. The Department of Homeland Security reported damage to federal property and vehicles during related protests.

Homan said attacks on ICE agents have surged nearly 700% over the past year. He called for more responsibility from lawmakers, especially in blue states, and emphasized that ICE officers are regular people with families doing their jobs. “They don’t hang their heart on a hook when they go to work,” he added.

His comments come days after President Trump signed a $3.3 trillion spending bill that includes funding for 10,000 new ICE agents and continued construction of the southern border wall.
