The Left likes to grandstand. But sometimes they are forced to sit down and shut up.
Now Tom Homan silenced a heckler in a heated exchange caught on camera.
Tom Homan’s Unwavering Defense of ICE
At the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit in Tampa, Florida, Border Czar Tom Homan delivered a powerful defense of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, standing firm against a disruptive protester.
When a heckler interrupted his speech, brandishing a doctored photo of Homan with gang signs and mockingly asking if he was an “MS-13 member,” Homan responded with characteristic grit:
“I got a question for you: Why don’t you come up here and hand me that picture, right? Bring it.”
As security escorted the protester out amid chants of “USA, USA” from the energized crowd, Homan called out the detractor’s cowardice, stating, “They got morons like this all over the country. This guy ain’t got the balls to be an ICE officer. He hasn’t got the balls to be a Border Patrol agent. This guy lives in his mother’s basement.”
Confronting Anti-ICE Protests with Courage
Homan didn’t hold back in addressing the anti-ICE protests outside the Tampa event, delivering a resolute message:
“You want some? Come get some. I’m tired of it. For the men and women of ICE, I deserve your respect. And Tom Homan isn’t going anywhere. Tom Homan isn’t shutting up.”
His defiance reflects his unwavering support for ICE agents facing a 700% surge in attacks over the past year, as reported in a recent Fox News interview.
Homan highlighted the dangerous consequences of inflammatory rhetoric, particularly from Democrats, noting, “The rhetoric against the men and women of ICE is skyrocketing, especially by members of Congress. We have senators, we have congresspeople that compare ICE to the Nazis, compare ICE to racists, and it just continues.”
He pointed to remarks from figures like Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who called ICE agents “modern-day Gestapo,” and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, who likened them to “secret police,” arguing such rhetoric fuels violence against officers upholding the law.
Championing Law Enforcement and National Security
Homan’s fiery speech at the summit reaffirmed his dedication to executing President Trump’s immigration policies, promising “the biggest deportation operation this country has ever seen.”
His resolve comes as ICE targets illegal immigrants, many suspected or convicted of violent crimes, amid a historic low in border crossings—down 89% from the 2021-2024 average, according to DHS statistics.
“The only thing that surprised me, you don’t have purple hair and a nose ring. Get out of here, you loser. And, hey, if you’re such a bada**, meet me off stage in 13 minutes and 50 seconds,” Homan taunted the heckler, adding, “I guarantee you he sits down to pee. Guaranteed.”
