POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C. — Tom Homan, appointed by former President Donald Trump as the border czar, has firmly denied allegations that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) engages in racial profiling. Homan emphasized the agency’s commitment to impartiality in its enforcement actions.

“I deported people to 180 countries last year, so I do not care if you’re from Asia, you’re from Europe, or you’re from other countries,” Homan stated. His comments come amid ongoing scrutiny of ICE’s practices and accusations of biased enforcement.

Homan’s defense of ICE’s operations underscores the agency’s broad mandate to remove individuals from the United States in accordance with immigration laws. The border czar’s remarks highlight a continued emphasis on the agency’s mission to secure borders and enforce immigration policies without discrimination.
