Border Czar Tom Homan Forced to Live Apart From Wife Due to Death Threats

Border czar Tom Homan disclosed that he currently lives separately from his wife due to ongoing death threats against him and his family.

Homan made the revelation during an interview with New York Post columnist Miranda Devine on her podcast “Pod Force One,” which aired Wednesday.

The top Trump administration official explained that multiple factors contribute to his separation from his spouse, including his demanding work schedule and security concerns.

“I spent a lot of time with my boys growing up, but as I got more and more — climbed the ladder of what I’ve done with ICE director and now back — I don’t see my family very much,” Homan stated during the interview.

He emphasized that the primary reason for living apart stems from security threats. 

“My wife’s living separately from me right now, mainly because I worked for many hours, but mostly because of the death threats against me,” Homan said.

The border czar indicated his wife resides in an undisclosed location for safety purposes. 

“She’s someplace else. I see her as much as I can, but the death threats against me and my family are outrageous,” he told Devine.

President Trump selected Homan for the border czar position shortly after securing reelection victory in November.

The appointment places Homan at the helm of Trump’s promised mass deportation initiative, which represents a cornerstone of the administration’s immigration strategy.

Homan previously served during Trump’s first presidency as acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

His tenure with ICE ended when he chose to retire after Senate confirmation for the permanent director position stalled due to concerns regarding his agency record, per the Post.

The border czar recounted the moment Trump personally contacted him about returning to government service.

Homan described receiving the unexpected presidential call while dining with his wife. 

“I was the first person he called, bringing back, which, again, was a proud moment, but I was actually out to dinner with my wife, and then my phone rang, and I looked down, and it says, ‘POTUS.’ And my wife says, ‘He’s asking him to come back, isn’t he?’” he recalled.

The conversation that followed demonstrated Trump’s direct approach to recruiting his former immigration official.

“So I walked outside, and the first thing he said to me was, ‘You’ve been bitching about it for four years. Well, come back and fix it.’ So how do you say no?” Homan explained.

The border czar’s acceptance of the position reflects his commitment to implementing Trump’s immigration agenda despite personal sacrifices and security risks that impact his family life.

Homan recently made headlines after Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) escalated tensions over federal immigration enforcement by openly challenging the border czar to arrest him. 

The provocative remarks came as violent anti-ICE protests rocked Los Angeles for several days.

“Come after me. Arrest me. Let’s just get it over with, tough guy,” Newsom said, rejecting responsibility for the escalating unrest in his state.

Resist the Mainstream previously reported that Homan had warned that interference with immigration enforcement is a federal felony. 

“It’s a felony to knowingly harbor and conceal an illegal alien,” Homan had said. “It’s a felony to impede law enforcement doing their job.”
