Tom Homan, former ICE director and current border czar, revealed in a podcast interview that he is living apart from his wife due to ongoing death threats against him and his family. Homan described being personally recruited by President Trump after the 2024 election to return and “fix” immigration enforcement.

Meanwhile, ICE recently detained 11 Iranian nationals, including Ribvar Karimi, a former sharpshooter in Iran’s elite army, amid heightened antiterrorism alerts following U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. Karimi, who entered the U.S. on a K-1 fiancé visa during the Biden administration, allegedly violated visa conditions and is now subject to deportation. DHS officials emphasized their intensified efforts to identify and remove terrorists and violent extremists who have entered illegally, citing a commitment to “secure the homeland” under Trump’s mandate.
