‘ZERO TOLERANCE’: Border Czar Homan Issues Warning to ICE Attackers

Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell • July 18, 2025

There’s a new border czar in town, and he says he has “zero tolerance” for attacks on Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.

“This ridiculousness is over,” Tom Homan told The Daily Signal.

“You put a hand on an ICE officer, you’re going to prison. You impede an ICE officer, you’re getting prosecuted,” he said Friday in a press gaggle outside the White House. “If you knowingly conceal an illegal alien, you’re going to to to jail. If you throw a stone at an ICE vehicle or an officer, those days are over. They’re going to get out of the car, and they’re going to arrest you.”

Violence against ICE officers has increased 830% between Jan. 21 and July 14 of this year, compared to the same period in 2024, the Department of Homeland Security said.

That marks a sharp increase from the end of June. DHS previously announced that assaults against ICE officers increased 690% between Jan. 21 and June 30 of this year, compared with the same period last year. There were 10 assaults on ICE officers from Jan. 21 to June 30, 2024, and 79 assaults from President Donald Trump’s inauguration through the end of June this year, Fox News’ Bill Melugin reported.

The attacks on ICE have prompted ICE officers to wear face masks while making arrests.

Attacking an ICE officer is a “felony” punishable by prison, Homan said.
