Trump's New Border Czar Receives Death Threats

Source: Newsweek

Published Nov 11, 2024 at 2:01 PM EST

Tom Homan, President-elect Donald Trump's newly appointed 'border czar' revealed that he and his family have been receiving death threats since his appointment.

Homan, tasked with overseeing U.S. border security, revealed on Monday morning on Fox & Friends that his family is currently "not at home" due to the death threats. The former acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement director (ICE), appointed by Trump on Truth Social, vowed that these threats would not deter him from his mission.

"That's something we're going to deal with. They're not going to shut me up. They're not going to make me go away. This is the biggest national security vulnerability this nation has seen since 9/11. We have to fix it," he said. "They are not going to bully me away," Homan added.

Newsweek has contacted the Homan and the Trump-Vance transition team for comment.

That’s part of an orchestrated buffet meant to keep the racists in America fed.

They will make lots of noise, waste a couple billion, fail in classic Republican fashion, declare victory and go home. The greatest deportation effort in the last 400 billion years.

I figured he was lying, but I just wasn't sure why.

I know the Nazis will do everything possible to
manipulate public opinion and find reasons to
do horrible things to people here, so I guess
we're biing prepped for some seriously violent
stuff coming our way.

Sheesh

Why report on any law enforcement effort to track the alleged death threats when this alone will get eyeballs, right?

All Newsweek just did was relay hearsay by a trump extremist, with no substantiation.

This death threats "news" thing is an alleged scenario we'll see play out in "reports" over the next four years. And lazy corporate media will just roll with all kinds of 'victim' allegations for profit.
