Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt used Mondays White House briefing to deliver a pointed reminder about the credentials of Border Czar Tom Homan and the hypocrisy of critics now attacking him.
According to Sean Hannity, Leavitt highlighted that Homan, long vilified by the left for enforcing immigration law, had once been celebrated by Democrats when it suited their political purposes. She underscored that the same establishment now decrying strong border enforcement had no issue honoring the man they once relied on to carry out deportations under a Democrat administration.
Homan is being deployed to Minnesota as President Trump and Governor Tim Walz attempt to bring down the temperature following a series of deadly ICE-related shootings. The move reflects the administrations belief that restoring order and enforcing the law require experienced leadership, not political posturing or ideological grandstanding.
Leavitt drove the point home by invoking the medias own record. This is a Washington Post headline from nine years ago: Meet the Man the White House Has Honored for Deporting Illegal Immigrants. I would remind everyone in this room that it was former President Barack Hussein Obama who awarded a medal to Mr. Homan, Leavitt said.
Her remarks underscored a broader conservative argument: that border security and immigration enforcement were once bipartisan responsibilities, only to be recast as controversial when embraced by President Trump. By sending Homan to Minnesota, the White House is signaling that it will prioritize public safety, the rule of law, and consistent enforcement over the shifting political narratives of the progressive left.
