Tom Homan Blames 'Hateful Rhetoric' for Potential ICE Casualties, Denies Mistakes in Fatal Shootings

Tom Homan, President Trump's border czar, stated on July 20, 2026, that 'hateful rhetoric' against ICE will lead to bloodshed and potential agent deaths, accusing critics of comparing the agency to Nazis. The New Republic article counters that ICE has killed U.S. citizens and legal immigrants this year, including Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, with no ICE agent deaths in Trump's second term. Homan denied mistakes in the Minnesota shootings, claiming victims failed to comply with law enforcement. The article also highlights ICE violent incidents, such as tackling a person at Las Vegas airport and shooting a clergyman with a pepper ball, alongside racial profiling accusations upheld by the Supreme Court.
