An accusation of not caring about migrant children infuriated former Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Tom Homan to such an extent that it prompted thoughts of a physical confrontation.

“I thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right in the middle of the room because when you tell someone who has spent their career saving lives that I don’t care about dying children and I’m a racist, that’s where I broke,” Homan told the right-leaning Fox News over the weekend.
