Harry Litman - The most dangerous man in government - except Trump
In recent weeks, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has become the most dangerous enforcement body in the United States, and the immigration “czar,” Tom Homan, the most dangerous public official save only Donald Trump.
Hordes of ICE agents—masked and menacing—have been sweeping into communities, roughing up immigrants and citizens alike, ignoring constitutional limits, and creating indelible images of the sort we typically observe only in the worst totalitarian states.
Atop this rogue organization sits Homan, a perennial apologist for ICE’s legal abuses, who has been feeding the American public a steady diet of bad law and inflammatory rhetoric since 2017.
Homan has presided over ICE’s transformation from a regulatory agency into something more like a rogue militia. For years, he has defended the thuggish tactics of ICE agents with a smirk and a shrug. If you want to understand the culture of ICE today—its contempt for legal norms and its disdain for the rights of immigrants and citizens alike—start with Homan.
