This shift has sparked significant anger, leading Homan to relocate his family due to death threats. During a recent Fox News appearance, he mentioned turning off his phone because of overwhelming calls and messages from both supporters and those opposed to his return. Homan previously served as acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from 2017 to 2018, where he implemented strict deportation policies for undocumented immigrants. According to The Wall Street Journal, Trump\u2019s aides indicated that Homan would have extensive control over immigration policies that resonated with voters during the election campaign. Notably, this position does not require Senate confirmation. Ron Vitiello, Homan&#8217;s predecessor at ICE, stated that Homan would carry the implied authority of the president in this role.<\/p>\n<p>Homan expressed on Fox News that he has been out of contact for three days due to numerous threats but remains determined not to be intimidated or silenced. He emphasized the urgency of addressing what he sees as a major national security issue since 9\/11 and is eager to take action after years of criticizing current border policies on television.<\/p>\n<p>He stated his commitment by saying it would be hypocritical not to accept Trump&#8217;s invitation for him to return and help resolve this crisis since he&#8217;s been vocal about needed changes in border management.
