Border Czar Tom Homan Issues Blunt Warning To Officials Blocking ICE: ‘You Will Be Prosecuted’

Border Czar Tom Homan offered an assessment of the nation’s immigration enforcement landscape on Sunday, declaring the southern border the “most secure” in American history while issuing a fierce warning to anyone—including federal judges—who attempts to interfere with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Speaking on Sunday Morning Futures, with Maria Bartiromo, Homan detailed a recent three-day tour of the border spanning sectors in California, Texas, and Arizona. He told host Maria Bartiromo that despite traveling by air, boat, and vehicle, he did not witness a single illegal crossing—a sharp contrast to the Biden administration.

The interview took a darker turn as Homan addressed the rising tensions facing federal agents. He reported a staggering 8,000 percent increase in threats against ICE personnel, with physical assaults on officers jumping by 1,300 percent.

Homan attributed the volatile environment to the rhetoric of political leaders and stated that the Department of Justice, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, has adopted a zero-tolerance policy for obstruction.

He specifically referenced the conviction of a Milwaukee County judge for obstructing federal agents, using it as a cautionary tale for other officials. “Even if you’re a judge, there are consequences for violating the law,” he asserted.

Addressing the humanitarian aspect of enforcement, Homan pushed back against critics of the administration’s reunification efforts. He claimed the Trump administration has already located 129,000 of the estimated 300,000 children who went missing during the Biden years, a statistic he described as a fulfillment of a promise to the American people. He noted, however, that recent legal challenges have stalled efforts to reunite some children with parents who wish for them to be returned to their home countries, specifically Guatemala.

“I’m going to educate them on the truth of what President Trump is actually doing for this country,” Homan concluded.
