by Josh Feldman | 3:01 pm, May 23rd, 2018
President Trump held a roundtable today on immigration and the brutal MS-13, and he stood by the animal language he used last week. And the acting director of ICE backed him up on it.
Thomas Homan spoke at the roundtable event today along with a few other officials (most notably Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein days after his meeting with Trump about his DOJ demand).
Homanwho has overseeing the immigration and deportation crackdown under Trumpstarted out by thanking the President for his leadership and for taking border security so seriously. At one point during his remarks about cracking down on MS-13, Homan said this directly to Trump:

No one I know is against deporting undocumented MS-13 criminal gang members?

But maybe that forced nuance applies only to white supremacists.
Sounds about white.

1. He looks very nasty
After 33 years in law enforcement, Thomas Homan retired last January for about three hours. As he was leaving his retirement ceremony on a Friday afternoon, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly called to say President Donald Trump was offering a promotion. Homan came back to work on Tuesday as the acting director of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
From the outside, Homan might have seemed a surprising choice to lead ICE, a 20,000-person division of the Department of Homeland Security that deports more than 200,000 people per year. During the Obama administration, Homan had won the highest civil service award after effectively enforcing the more limited deportation priorities that Trump rose to power attacking. But Kelly appeared to know something that had long been clear to many of Homans colleagues: Homan did not like that the Obama administration had told his officers whom they should and shouldnt arrest.
Since taking over as acting director of ICE, Homan has gone from being a mostly anonymous civil servant to one of the most combative defenders of Trumps immigration agenda. He has appeared on Fox News to say that politicians who limit cooperation with ICE should be charged with crimes and has staged retaliatory operations against their cities in the meantime. ICE arrests were up 41 percent last year and 171 percent among people without criminal records. ICE is now pursuing even the most sympathetic undocumented immigrants. That is part of Homans goal. Testifying before Congress last year, he warned, If youre in this country illegally
you should be uncomfortable. You should look over your shoulder, and you need to be worried.
Crucially for a president obsessed with appearance, Homana barrel-chested former coplooks the part. His presence is imposing enough that two former colleagues said, unprompted, that theyd never seen him bully someone. In July, Trump said hed heard that Homan looks very nasty. He replied, Thats exactly what I was looking for. Many of the 12 former colleagues of Homan interviewed for this article, from Arizona, Texas, and Washington, DC, say he has a soft side behind the gruff exterior. But that hasnt stopped Homan from playing up his cops cop persona on TV, surely aware that it goes over well with his most important viewer.
