Former Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Thomas Homan delivered an impassioned speech that defended federal immigration officers during a House hearing on July 12, saying that Congress and media are to blame for the “unprecedented attack and vilification” agents face amid the crisis at the southern border.
“These men and women who chose a life of service to this nation deserve better not only from the media but from those the community and other members of Congress. These men and women who chose a life of service deserve more,” Homan said during his opening statement (pdf) during the House Oversight Committee hearing on the alleged treatment of illegal immigrants at the border.
