Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, warned of the American public turning on the administration’s hardline deportation policies if they were not focused on criminals.
In a June 2025 interview with NBC News to promote his book, Homan said the administration would need to prioritize targeting migrants who had committed crimes beyond being in the U.S. illegally in order to “keep the faith of the American people.”
The comments from last year have resurfaced as polling shows Trump is facing growing backlash over his heavy-handed immigration policies, particularly in the wake of the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis. Data from the Department of Homeland Security also suggests ICE is not arresting the “worst of the worst” in its raids, instead detaining people accused of nonviolent offenses or with no convictions at all.
