Trump’s team isn’t scared of any Democrat threats.
Former Trump border chief Tom Homan is sending a clear message as Democrats increasingly float the idea of investigating or even prosecuting former Trump officials for enforcing strong border security policies. And according to Homan, he isn’t losing a minute of sleep over it.
Appearing on Jesse Watters Primetime, Homan responded directly when asked if he worries about being targeted politically for the work he did under the Trump administration. His answer was blunt but controlled:
“They’ve already said they want to do it—so come get some.”
Homan emphasized that he will not let Americans forget what the nation experienced over the last several years. He pointed to the surge in illegal crossings, the rise of human smuggling, and the dramatic increase in drugs moving across the southern border under the current administration’s policies.
He contrasted this with the record under President Trump, describing a period of historic border security, when:
- Illegal crossings sharply declined
- Cartel profits shrank due to tougher enforcement
- Human trafficking dropped significantly
- Terrorist watch-list encounters at the border were far lower
- And immigration promises made to the American people were actively being fulfilled
Homan also spoke at length about a recent tragedy that has renewed national attention on immigration and vetting standards.
During Thanksgiving week, authorities say 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal opened fire in Washington, D.C., targeting two West Virginia National Guard members. The attack resulted in the death of 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom and left 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe critically injured.
Officials confirmed that Lakanwal entered the U.S. in 2021 under Operation Allies Welcome, the Biden administration’s program that relocated tens of thousands of Afghan nationals after the fall of Kabul. Although the asylum paperwork was processed earlier, the vetting process occurred under the Biden administration, raising new questions about oversight and national security.
Homan said the American people deserve answers.
He pledged that every individual who may have entered the country without thorough review will be re-evaluated:
“We are going to identify everyone who wasn’t properly vetted. If they shouldn’t be here, they will be sent home.”
Homan closed by reminding viewers of what he sees as a major difference in leadership:
“President Trump is going to make this country safe again. He made that promise before, and we’re committed to making sure he keeps it.”
For many voters—especially those concerned about rising crime, border security, and national stability—Homan’s message is resonating more strongly than ever.
