President Trump’s border czar Tom Homan is pleading with liberals to “tone down” their rhetoric toward Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents after the shooting death of Renee Nicole Good.
Homan, during an interview on Dr. Phil McGraw’s podcast Friday, rushed to the federal agency’s defense after ICE agent Jonathan Ross fatally shot the 37-year-old activist mom when she drove her SUV at him during a heated confrontation at a raucous protest in Minneapolis Wednesday.
Democrats and local officials have decried the deadly use of force, claiming the shooting was a “murder.”
“I want everyone to step back and stop pouring gas on the fire that I truly believe is going to cause more bloodshed,” he said on Friday’s episode of “The Dr. Phil Podcast.”
“I’m begging, I’m begging, tone down the rhetoric. In my career, I’ve buried border patrol agents, I’ve buried ICE agents, and the saddest thing I’ve ever had to do is hand a folded flag to a spouse or a child. I don’t want to see anybody die. Anybody.”
Homan pressed lawmakers to allow the investigation into the deadly encounter to unfold before they start pointing fingers, adding that Ross is now “concerned” for his own and his family’s safety.
He also noted that immigration officers have since faced mounting death threats.
“The people we’re looking for, even the worst of the worst. I don’t want to see anybody die,” Homan urged.
“So, for God’s sake, let’s tone the rhetoric down. Less blood. I don’t want to see more bloodshed. I didn’t want to see blood from day one. With the rhetoric now, comparing ICE to murders and the Chief Secret Police, I’m afraid this is not over.”
Protests have erupted daily in Minneapolis in the wake of the fatal shooting, including Friday night when enraged demonstrators descended on a hotel where they believed federal agents were staying.
Local police also reportedly declared an “unlawful assembly” in an attempt to ease the unrest.
“We’re not going to end this mission,” Homan pressed, explaining that federal officials are going to “double down” operations in Minneapolis now that they know just how “dangerous” the area really is.
After the deadly confrontation, DHS released shocking data that showed car attacks on ICE officers have spiked – surging some 3,200% between Jan. 21, 2025, and Jan. 7, 2026.
Officials said violent “radical rhetoric from sanctuary politicians” is to blame for rise in vehicular attacks
Federal immigration officers have also reported a 1,347% increase in assaults and a whopping 8,000% surge in death threats during the first year of Trump’s second term.
