“Border czar” Tom Homan was unfazed over actress Selena Gomez’s video complaining about the deportations of illegal immigrants, underscoring how “public safety threats” are being targeted.
Gomez’s video, which she briefly posted to Instagram before deleting, featured the Hispanic singer and former Disney Channel star crying as she claimed that “my people are getting attacked” and wished there was something she could do about it. Homan was asked about claims of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement targeting families in the deportation efforts, to which he responded that he does not believe ICE has arrested “any families.”
“We’ve arrested public safety threats and national security threats, bottom line,” Homan said on Fox News’s America Reports. “And look, President Trump won the election on this one issue: securing our border and saving lives.”
Homan added that ICE would fully carry out its deportations and enforce the law “without apology” and that anyone who dislikes this can “go to Congress and change the law.”
After Gomez deleted her video, she posted an Instagram story, claiming that “apparently it’s not ok to show empathy for people.”

Homan was recently joined by talk show host Dr. Phil over the weekend, which featured the border czar pushing back against “hogwash” claims that ICE is invading schools and arresting children. The two also spoke to a recently arrested illegal immigrant, whom Homan said was “convicted of sex crimes involving children.”
