A resurfaced clip published by Mediaite on Tuesday shows Donald Trump’s border czar Tom Homan bragging about mass deportations months before the election.
At the National Conservatism Conference, in Washington DC in July, Homan expressed frustration at the news coverage of a mass deportation operation.
“I tell you what, Washington Post can do all the stories they want on me about ‘Tom Homan’s deportin’ people, he’s really good at it!,” he said. “They ain’t seen shit yet! Wait till 2025!”
Trump announced Homan’s appointment as his ‘border czar’ in a post on Truth Social on Sunday to carry out what he calls the largest deportation operation in the country’s history.
Homan served as the acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement director during the first 18 months of Trump’s administration after decades of experience in ICE and Border Patrol.
He was responsible for the Trump administration’s zero tolerance immigration policy that separated families at the border.
Since leaving the administration, Homan has been an outspoken supporter of Trump’s policies and repeatedly defended deportation efforts.
“I hear a lot of people say, you know, the talk of a mass deportation is racist.” Homan said in a 60 minutes interview last month. “It’s threatening to immigrant community. It’s not threatening to the immigrant community. It should be threatening to the illegal immigrant community. But on the heels of [a] historic illegal immigration crisis. That has to be done.
