Homan served as Trump's ICE chief until the end of June 2018. He is now a Fox News contributor.
, under Homan's tenure, the first year of the Trump administration saw the number of non-criminal immigrants deported rise three-fold.
ICE traditionally says that criminal immigrants are its first priority for deportation. Ahead of Sunday's planned immigration raids in nine U.S. cities, the agency toldthat"ICE prioritizes the arrest and removal of unlawfully present aliens who pose a threat to national security, public safety and border security."
While Connolly was questioning another witness at Friday's hearing, Homan interjected that he was"extremely frustrated.""Of course not," Homan replied."This isn't about transparency.""You're in a hearing room," Connolly shouted."It's my time." In 2015, the Obama administration awarded Homan with the Presidential Rank Award for distinguished service.
Thomas Homan, acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, testifies before the House Homeland Security Committee's Border and Marine Security subcommittee on Capitol Hill on May 22, 2018 in Washington, DC.
