Conservatives expressed their heartfelt support for border czar Tom Homan after he revealed in an interview that he and his wife are living separately because of death threats he has received for his involvement in the Trump Administration’s intense crackdown on illegal immigration.
In the interview, Homan told Devine, “My wife’s living separately from me right now,” adding that their separation started “because I worked for many hours,” but clarifying that the two were living apart “because of the death threats against me.” Furthermore, Homan said, “I see her as much as I can, but the death threats against me and my family are outrageous.”
Next, Homan opened up about the difficult decisions he had to make to assume his role of Trump Administration border czar, explaining to Devine, “Even my wife said, ‘You know, it’s a huge pay cut,’ because I’m doing good in the private sector.” He added, “She’s in the middle of remodeling — months of stuff — and all that stopped because I’m leaving the private sector, going back to a government paycheck.”
However, Homan clarified that his wife had encouraged him to stay in his role despite the struggles. He told Devine, “She said, ‘You need to go back or we’ll get divorced,” adding, “Because if you don’t go back, you’ll be waking up every day, pissed off that you didn’t go back, and I’ve gotta live with four more years of you being pissed off, so go back and do the job.’”Furthermore, Homan told Devine that he was “not going anywhere” despite how difficult his job could be, saying, “I mean, I had a thousand protestors at my house in Upstate New York, my lake house.” He added, “I’m not going away, ’cause I know how important it is to secure our border,”
After Homan’s New York Post interview went viral online, conservative influencer Paul A. Szypula called on his followers to “pray for the safety of Homan and his family,” adding, “You know how horrible leftists can be when it comes to threatening violence.”
In response to Szypula’s post, conservatives expressed their heartfelt support for the Homan family. The X user The American Irishman wrote, “This man is a patriot and has given up a lot for his country. We owe him a debt of gratitude.” Another user chimed in, “Homan is a real American hero. Many thanks to him and his family for the sacrifices they are making to keep us safe.”
