Trump’s Border Czar Wonders Why Abusive ICE Agent Passed Vetting, Too
KEY POINTS
- •Tom Homan, former Trump border czar, said an ICE officer involved in a Maine shooting should have failed vetting.
- •Two ex-wives reportedly accused this agent of abuse, raising serious questions about his eligibility to serve.
- •Homan discussed these issues during CNN’s State of the Union after reports from The Guardian and KCRA emerged.
In a plot twist nobody saw coming in the official vetting comedy, Tom Homan, the Trump-era 'border czar', confessed on CNN’s State of the Union that the ICE officer involved in a fatal Maine shooting 'should have never cleared vetting.' This revelation came after reports surfaced that two of the agent’s ex-wives accused him of abuse — which, you’d think, might disqualify someone faster than a DMV photo retake. The ex-wives' allegations added an unwelcome plot twist to an already grim headline, showcasing the ironically lax standards in place. To add extra spice, Homan slipped this truth bomb on the very day media outlets from The Guardian to KCRA got involved, confirming we're all spectacularly bad at screening people who carry guns for the government.

(1 of 3)Apparently having abuse accusations from not one but two ex-wives is the new gold standard to bizarrely pass ICE vetting. We’re all terrible drivers of our own lives, but this guy took the wrong exit at common sense.
So an ICE officer with multiple abuse accusations slipped through vetting? It’s like hiring a pyromaniac as a firefighter and being surprised by smoke.
When two ex-wives accuse you of abuse, that’s usually a red flag, not a clearance form. Welcome to federal oversight 101.
