'Get out of here, you loser': Border czar Tom Homan lays into heckler and later admits US citizens are swept up in raids

Source: The Independent

Sunday 13 July 2025 13:38 EDT


President Donald Trump’s “border czar,” Tom Homan, is increasingly becoming the face of the White House’s mass deportation effort as the onetime acting ICE chief shifts into a more overtly political role. That politicization was on full display on Saturday night when Homan made a speech at at Turning Point USA conference, a Trump-aligned conservative youth group run by Charlie Kirk, a close ally of the president’s son Don Jr.

Homan’s characteristic gruff persona was on full display as a heckler confronted him shortly after he began speaking. “You want some? Come get some,” Homan told the guy. “I’m tired of it. ... Tom Homan isn’t going anywhere. Tom Homan isn’t shutting up. "This guy wouldn't know what it's like to serve this nation. This guy ain't got the balls to be an ICE officer. He hasn't got the balls to be a border patrol agent," Homan continued, as the crowd cheered him on.

As the heckler was being escorted out, Homan cracked, "This guy lives in his mother's basement. The only thing that surprised me is ... doesn't have purple hair and a nose ring. “Get out of here, you loser."

Hours later, Homan was an embattled administration’s first line of defense on the Sunday interview circuit, where he engaged in damage control in an effort to walk back a seemingly obvious yet startling admission: that ICE agents and other immigration enforcement personnel were racially profiling people as they carried out large-scale raids across the country.

And there's always the character portrayed by Anthony Starke in the Seinfeld episode, "The Jimmy."

Anthony attended Marquette University on the Liberace Foundation Scholarship for Performance, where he studied Theatre and Spanish Literature. While at Marquette he worked with the Pabst Theatre and the Wisconsin Shakespeare Company, appearing in a range of plays spanning classic, modern and musical. After graduating cum laude from Marquette with a B.A. in Theatre Arts and a B.A. in Spanish, Anthony took up acting full time.

And a hatred of dark-skinned people helps.

That filthy Nazi bears close watching. He must have been the donor for what's now called Steven Miller.
