Trump administration border czar Tom Homan has vowed to take legal action against anti-ICE activists who posted names, addresses, and photos of ICE agents in Southern California.
In an interview on Fox News on Wednesday, Homan stated that the posting of fliers containing personal information of immigration enforcement officers “crossed the line” and that he plans to seek action from the Department of Justice. Homan also revealed that he now requires 24/7 police protection due to ongoing death threats.
“Look, I think they crossed the line. They started posting pictures and addresses and phone numbers. I got state troopers around my house 24-7 right now because of death threats. And I know what it’s like to be doxxed, though. These agents don’t deserve that,” Homan said. “These agents put a gun on their hip and wear a Kevlar vest every day, trying to make their communities safer. We’ve been really clear: we’re focusing on the worst of the worst. We’re focused on criminal threats and national security threats.”
Homan added, “I got a meeting with the Department of Justice today and what we can do about this. I think it crossed the line of impeding a federal law enforcement officer in the performance of their duties. So I’m hoping we find out who these people are, and we can criminally prosecute them.”
Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin posted a photo on X showing the fliers that have recently appeared in Southern California. The posters, written in Spanish, roughly translate to “CAREFUL WITH THESE FACES.” While it remains unclear which group is responsible for the postings, ICE officials have launched an investigation.
A spokesperson for the FBI’s Los Angeles office released a statement addressing the situation, saying, “The FBI safeguards Constitutionally-protected rights, including freedom of speech and assembly. However, any individual who impedes law enforcement operations, potentially threatening the safety of law enforcement agents and subjects of their investigations, is subject to investigation and potential prosecution by the Department of Justice.”
