Homan taking death threats against him ‘more seriously’ after Trump officials targeted with violent threats

Incoming Trump border czar Tom Homan has reacted strongly to recent news of death threats against Trump nominees, stating that he now takes the death threats he has previously received very seriously. In an interview with Fox News anchor Gillian Turner on “The Story,” Homan expressed his concerns about the threats made against him and his family, revealing that he had faced numerous death threats while serving as the ICE director in the previous administration.

Homan disclosed that he had previously not taken the threats seriously, but the recent events have changed his perspective. He emphasized the need for a strong response to such threats and underscored the importance of taking legal action against those responsible. Homan also pointed out that the negative press surrounding Trump does not help the situation, as it can incite further violence from individuals who may be influenced by such rhetoric.

The recent threats targeted nearly a dozen of President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees and other appointees, prompting a swift law enforcement response. The attacks ranged from bomb threats to ‘swatting,’ which led to a heightened sense of security for those targeted. The transition team expressed gratitude for the swift action taken by law enforcement to ensure the safety of the individuals involved.

Among those targeted were prominent figures such as John Ratcliffe, the nominee for CIA director, Pete Hegseth, the nominee for secretary of defense, and Rep. Elise Stefanik, the nominee for UN ambassador. The threats also extended to other nominees, including Trump’s Labor Secretary nominee and former Trump attorney general nominee Matt Gaetz’s family.

Homan made it clear that he would not be intimidated by such threats and vowed to continue speaking out without fear of reprisal. He stressed the importance of holding individuals accountable for their actions and ensuring that legal consequences are enforced for threatening someone’s life.

The threats received on Tuesday night came shortly after Trump survived two assassination attempts, highlighting the ongoing risks faced by political figures. Homan’s remarks serve as a reminder of the dangers that public officials can encounter and the need for heightened security measures to protect them and their families.

As the situation unfolds, it is crucial for law enforcement to investigate the threats thoroughly and ensure that those responsible are held accountable. Homan’s unwavering stance against intimidation and violence underscores the importance of standing up against such behavior and advocating for a safe and secure environment for all individuals involved in public service.
