Tom Homan didn’t mince words when Democrats threatened to hold immigration officials “accountable” for enforcing the law — he dared them to “come get some,” a blunt rebuke that should make every American who values law and order sit up and pay attention. That defiant line wasn’t theatrics; it was the posture of a man who believes the rule of law matters more than political theater.
When Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey began characterizing ICE operations as “not American” and attacking agents for doing their jobs, Homan pushed back hard and warned of real consequences for communities that harbor criminals. He made clear that anti-ICE rhetoric from progressive politicians emboldens lawlessness and undermines public safety, and he promised federal enforcement would not be deterred by virtue-signaling local leaders.
Homan also explained that the administration intends to use an all-of-government approach in places like the Twin Cities, coordinating ICE with CBP, the FBI, DEA and ATF to ensure arrests lead to prosecution and deportation rather than political kabuki. This isn’t about cruelty; it’s about restoring the basic order that allows neighborhoods to be safe and businesses to thrive. Conservatives should welcome any strategy that finally stops sending criminals back onto our streets because of sanctuary cover.
Meanwhile, the Minnesota situation is a cautionary tale about what happens when local officials prioritize woke optics over competence — audits have revealed troubling irregularities in the state’s licensing and visa programs, and federal leaders say fraud and lax oversight were rampant. If taxpayers are being bled dry while dangerous people slip through the cracks, angry speeches from mayors don’t fix the problem; enforcement does. The contrast between political rhetoric and administrative decay could not be starker.
Make no mistake: Homan’s defense of ICE and Border Patrol isn’t raw bravado, it’s a counterpunch to a culture that increasingly demonizes anyone who dares keep America secure. He’s publicly praised the men and women of ICE as among the finest defenders of this country and has repeatedly refused to be bullied into silence by leftist mobs. That unapologetic stance is exactly what a nation under siege needs right now.
And when Democrats talk about prosecuting immigration officials for doing their jobs, Homan’s message is simple and patriotic — he won’t let their lawfare erase the truth about four years of border chaos and crime. If accountability means holding criminals and corrupt officials to account, conservatives will support it; if it means punishing agents for enforcing the law, then America is being asked to reward failure and lawlessness. Homan’s “come get some” challenge is a clear signal that the fight for our borders and neighborhoods will not be surrendered to political intimidation.
Hardworking Americans should take this as a wake-up call: demand leaders who secure your streets, not those who posture for cable TV while waving away criminality. Support the agencies and officers who put their lives on the line, and hold local politicians accountable when their rhetoric protects wrongdoers instead of victims. We cannot allow our country to be softened into impotence by virtue signaling and empty promises; it’s time to stand with the men and women enforcing the law and reclaim the safety and sovereignty of our communities.
