Most recently, he was named acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in 2017 by President Trump.

Homan is known for tough rhetoric.

“I got a message to the millions of illegal aliens that Joe Biden released in our country in violation of federal law: you better start packing now,” Homan said during a speech at the Republican National Convention in July.

During the speech, Homan outlined a top priority for the second Trump administration, targeting drug cartels.

“Another message to the criminal cartels in Mexico,” Homan said. “You smuggled enough fentanyl across this country to kill 148,000 young Americans. You have killed more Americans than every terrorist organization in the world combined. That’s why when President Trump gets back in office he’s going to designate you a terrorist organization, he’s going to wipe you off the face of the earth, you’re done, you’re done.”

He also criticized the Biden administration for its border and immigration policy.

“Now we have record illegal immigration, a record number of women and children being sex trafficked, a record number of Americans dying from fentanyl, a record number of known or suspected terrorists sneaking across our border,” Homan said. “Here’s what you need to know: this isn’t mismanagement, this isn’t incompetence, this is by design and it’s a choice choice. It’s national suicide.”

Homan has also said that his words shouldn’t be threatening to the immigrant community, but rather to the illegal immigrant community.
