The security detail for Trump administration border czar Tom Homan is costing American taxpayers an astonishing $1 million per month. The Department of Homeland Security has allocated significant resources to protect Homan, citing threats against him due to his role in immigration enforcement.
The expense includes salaries for approximately 30 special agents who rotate shifts to provide round-the-clock protection. Travel costs, hotel stays, and operational expenses add to the total, making Homan’s security detail one of the most expensive among non-cabinet officials.
Critics within the administration have questioned whether such a high level of security is necessary. Some officials argue that the funds could be better spent on broader immigration enforcement efforts rather than protecting a single individual. Others defend the spending, pointing to the heightened risks associated with Homan’s position.
Meanwhile, ICE has ramped up arrests across the country. Agents have been deployed to major cities, conducting operations aimed at detaining individuals with outstanding deportation orders. The agency has reported an increase in enforcement actions, with thousands of arrests made in recent weeks.
