Transcript: Tom Homan on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan," Feb. 15, 2026
Tom Homan admits differing views with Secretary Noem on election-related comments amid DHS leadership tensions, while ICE enforcement and internal investigations proceed, officials said.
- On Feb. 15, 2026, White House border czar Tom Homan told 'Face the Nation' he defended enforcement and called the border the 'most secure border in history'.
- Homan said the administration cites over 10 million crossings in the last four years and record numbers of criminal aliens arrested and deported as reasons for enforcement actions.
- Agency markings and safety gear, Homan said, aim to protect agents amid what he described as large threat increases, citing an 8000% rise in threats against ICE officers.
- As the Metro Surge winds down in Minnesota, Homan said removals topped well over 1,000, small security teams will remain temporarily, and internal affairs plus the FBI are investigating incidents involving two agents on leave.
- Oversight members say half the Epstein files remain unreleased and that DOJ released a list Saturday night with more than 300 names, while reviewing three million pages would take over seven years.

Her department, she suggested, was not only about policing borders or guarding critical infrastructure. It was about securing elections in a much broader sense …
'Clutching Pearls': Noem Doubles Down On Her 'Right People' Comment
Oh, how absolutely unsurprising – Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is utterly baffled that anyone could take issue with her totally innocent musings about making sure "the right people" are voting for "the right leaders." She's graciously dismissed all the fuss as just good old common sense, because clearly that's all it was. Excuse me, I need to get a bucket so I can throw up. When CNN's Jake Tapper dared to bring up her remarks to borde…
