Mr Homan is completely disconnected from the concept of community. He’s a 30 second sound bite and is dangerous for the future prosperity of our nation. @NatImmForum @ArtCullen @RealTomHoman @LumenMediaSC @USCCB @edlavaCNN

HOMAN: "Nearly 9 out of 10 people who claim asylum, get an order of removal, because they simply don't qualify for asylum. They're not escaping fear & persecution in their homeland." "They're coming here for a better life, & I get that, but that's not asylum."

Afghan TPS holders have become valued members of our communities and workplaces. Forcing them to return to dangerous conditions goes against America's promise to protect our allies. We need immigration solutions that respect human dignity and strengthen our nation.

It was great to attend a lecture @DrakeUniversity by @BishopSeitz as he connected the dots of scripture, morality and our call to welcome migrants to our nation and assist them in their need. He walks the walk in advocacy for our immigrant brothers & sisters. @USCCB @NatImmForum

Let’s end the weaponization of the DOJ. Now let’s weaponize the DOJ against local law enforcement. The theory of Circular Administration is alive and well across all spectrums of our national and some state leaders. We’re all better than this. ksat.com/news/politics/2025/…

Mass deportation could mean detention camps, community raids, and forcing local police to become immigration agents. It goes far beyond current policy of focusing on public safety threats. America deserves better solutions.
