In a recent interview on CBS and other media outlets, Tom Homan, former Acting Director of ICE, expressed hope that former President Trump would push Congress to end the ongoing DHS shutdown. Homan clashed with host Margaret Brennan, arguing that Democrats are responsible for the shutdown by blocking funding for key operations like ICE. He emphasized the need for more discussions to resolve the funding standoff and insisted that scrapping sanctuary city policies could save thousands of lives. Homan further criticized anti-ICE rhetoric from Democrats, urging them to take accountability for the situation, and reiterated that the issue at hand is more about execution than policy.
