In an interview that aired on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" on March 29, 2026, former Acting Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Tom Homan criticized the Biden administration's border and immigration policies. Homan, who served during the Trump administration, argued that current policies have led to a crisis at the southern border.
Homan stated that the administration's approach has resulted in a loss of operational control, citing high numbers of migrant encounters. He advocated for a return to policies such as the "Remain in Mexico" program and stricter asylum protocols to deter illegal crossings.
The interview focused on the ongoing political debate over border security, with Homan framing it as a national security and humanitarian issue. He claimed that current enforcement is insufficient to manage the flow of migrants or to screen individuals adequately.
