Thomas Homan deports people. And he’s really good at it.
Homan is the Washington bureaucrat in charge of rounding up, detaining and kicking illegal immigrants out of the country. As Americans fight over whether the next president should build a wall on the Mexico border to keep migrants out or protect millions of them from deportation, Homan is actually hunting undocumented immigrants down right now, setting strategy for 8,000 officers on the front lines.
He was honored last week with the government’s highest civil service award, bestowed on federal leaders whose work gets “extraordinary” results. According to his bosses at the Department of Homeland Security, not only did Homan successfully handle an unexpected surge of unaccompanied children and families who have streamed here from Central America across the Southwest border, but last year his operations set records for the share of illegal immigrants expelled from the U.S. who had criminal records.

As President Trump has said: “All it takes is a new President.”
Regarding Tom Homan, all it took was a new President Trump to replace Obama/Biden for WAPO to now declare that Tom Homan is the absolute worst person on Planet Earth.
“”””Article from 10 years ago, back when lib media were celebrating Homan because he was so good at his job — rounding up and deporting illegal aliens.””””
We all remember back to 2015-16 when Trump was campaigning about ‘building the wall’.
When Obama gave Homan this award in April 2016, it was all political theatre to convince the 2016 voters that Obama had been tough on illegal immigration and that Hillary Clinton would equally tough.
Awesome post MM.
Unfortunately, the Woke Left is blissfully impervious to accusations of hypocrisy.
It’s as if they are nose blind to the horrific stench that cause everyone else to run for the exits.
Homan, the man for all seasons.
It must burn his britches, how those intellectual lightweights Obama and Hillary so cynically used him, his diligence, discipline, integrity, for their own short-term political benefit.
Then again he seems to have a mercifully short memory. “Oh! The alarm clock is going off again? Time to deport me some illegals.”
Homan’s nickname should be, Money.
Homan seems like a prototypical WWII General.
Use it every time his name crosses our lips or keyboard. FOXNews could raise the IQ of leftists with use of it and infuriate them, too.
Welcome 'Obama honored Tom Homan'.
Joining us now from Minnesota is 'Obama honored Tom Homan'.

Once again the truism; If it were not for double standards, liberals would have no standards at all.
There’s hardly a better display of the hypocrisy of the left.
Thomas Homan received the Presidential Rank Award, which is one of the highest civil service awards, during the Obama administration in 2015 for his distinguished service in immigration enforcement. This award recognizes high-performing senior career employees for their extraordinary accomplishments in public service.
