Border czar Tom Homan isn’t holding back when it comes to defending the Trump administration’s ICE raids targeting illegal migrants in the U.S. In a conversation Monday night, Homan made it clear: the administration has “no apologies” for their actions, even as public outcry grows.
The controversy took a more emotional turn when Selena Gomez shared a tearful video on Instagram, expressing heartbreak over the raids. “All my people are getting attacked, the children. I don’t understand. I’m so sorry, I wish I could do something, but I can’t. I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise,” she said in the since-deleted post.
Gomez later faced backlash, with critics calling her reaction “out of touch.” In response, she posted on her Instagram story, “Apparently it’s not ok to show empathy for people,” before removing the video altogether.
When Fox News asked Homan about Gomez’s comments, he dismissed her claims of widespread attacks. “ICE is only targeting illegal migrants with prior criminal history,” he stated. “If they don’t like it, go to Congress and change the law. We’re going to do this operation without apology.”
Homan doubled down, emphasizing that these actions are aimed at making communities safer. “It’s all for the good of this nation. No apologies. We’re moving forward.” He also insisted that no families had been arrested during these operations.
Over the weekend, ICE made waves with large-scale raids—286 arrests on Saturday alone, followed by 956 more on Sunday. And according to Homan, this is just the beginning. He promised daily arrests that could eventually lead to millions of deportations.
Not everyone is standing by quietly. Several groups, including Quakers, are taking legal action against the Trump administration. They argue that raids targeting places of worship are unconstitutional, adding fuel to an already heated debate.
The tension between enforcement and empathy continues to spark conversations across the nation. As emotions run high, the debate over immigration policies remains as divisive as ever.
