Conservatives have rallied around President Donald Trump’s Border Czar, Tom Homan, after his blunt responses to questions from ABC News anchor Martha Raddatz regarding the administration’s deportation flights.
Homan’s no-nonsense approach has drawn widespread praise from supporters as Trump ramps up efforts to fulfill his immigration promises.
In the first week of his second term, President Trump launched what is being described as the largest mass deportation operation in U.S. history.

More than 2,000 people have been arrested in a nationwide crackdown, with deportation flights taking off on Friday.
Many of those detained are accused of serious crimes, including terrorism and child exploitation.
The White House released images showing illegal immigrants being lined up and loaded onto military planes for deportation.
Trump has pledged to intensify these operations, with Homan overseeing the effort.
During an interview with Raddatz, Homan confirmed that the military flights will continue daily as part of the administration’s strategy.
When asked if this level of commitment would persist, Homan responded with a direct “Yes.”
Raddatz pressed further, questioning whether millions of deportations, as promised by President Trump, were realistic.
“Yes. But you’re going to see that number steadily increase, the number of arrests nationwide as we open up the aperture,” Homan replied.
The discussion shifted to whether the deportations would target only those with criminal records.
Homan clarified the administration’s stance, stating, “If you’re in the country illegally, you’re on the table because it’s not okay to, you know, violate the laws of this country.”
He added, “If you’re in a country illegally, you got a problem. And that’s why I’m hoping those who are in the country illegally, who have not been ordered removed by the federal judge, should leave.”
Homan’s unapologetic responses earned praise from conservatives, including political commentator Tomi Lahren.
“Tom is a SAVAGE, and I’m so damn proud to know him,” Lahren posted on social media.
She continued, “I could listen to this on a loop! Tom gives zero Fs and Trump doesn’t either. America last is OVER. Get used to it.”

Other supporters echoed Lahren’s sentiments.
“Exact man in the exact job at the exact time and exact place. Strength, courage, conviction, and zero cares about what people think. Nobody and I mean nobody is better suited for the task at hand than @RealTomHoman,” one supporter wrote.

Meanwhile, reports emerged of a deportation flight landing in Brazil on Saturday, carrying 88 migrants.
Footage showed passengers disembarking from the civilian aircraft with their hands and ankles shackled.
The Brazilian government expressed outrage over the treatment of its citizens, calling it “degrading” and accusing the U.S. of showing “flagrant disregard” for their rights.
This marked the second deportation flight to Brazil this year, and the first since Trump’s return to the White House.
According to Brazil’s federal police, the deportation reflects the administration’s renewed commitment to enforcing immigration laws.
As the administration ramps up its efforts, Homan’s hardline approach and direct responses have solidified his status among conservatives as a key figure in Trump’s immigration strategy.
For supporters, his leadership signals a return to prioritizing border security and strict enforcement of U.S. immigration laws.
