A recent video of Tom Homan, Trump’s Immigration Tsar, has set the internet ablaze. In the footage, Homan can be seen calmly eating an apple as leftist protestors scream political slogans. Homan’s hardline stance on immigration issues has provoked protests from leftist agitators across the nation. However, his calm demeanor and unwillingness to buckle have created several viral moments
The dramatic scene took place on March 13, 2025, when protestors breached the New York State Capital. Homan was in Albany to urge lawmakers to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Several cities in New York are sanctuary cities, which means they will not turn immigrants over to the authorities.
Homan had no mercy for New York lawmakers. He told the assembly, “This is an attack on immigration enforcement, that’s plain what it is, You’re not going to stop us, New York state, you’ve got to change the sanctuary status. If you don’t, get out of the way, we’re going to do our job,” he said. “We’ll double the man-force if we have to. Rather than one officer arresting a bad guy, now I have to send a whole team.
In the dramatic footage, the mob can be heard chanting, “No hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here.” Others bore signs which bore pro-immigration slogans in either Spanish or English. Protestors clashed with New York State Police who surrounded Tom Homan and members of Trump’s administration.
Zohran Mamdani, a candidate for Mayor of New York City, shouted, “How many more New Yorkers will you detain? How many more New Yorkers without charge? Do you believe in the First Amendment, Tom Homan?”

This is not the only clip of Tom Homan to go viral on social media. While speaking to Newsmax earlier this year, Tom Homan, who is responsible for securing our borders, fired back at Woke Pope Francis. The Pope issued a statement saying that Trump’s plan to deport illegal immigrants from the United States is a “disgrace.” In an appearance on Italian national television last week, the Pope said that Mr. Trump’s deportation plan “is not the way to solve things.”
At the beginning of the viral video, reporter Rob Schmitt asked the Border Tsar, “I want to ask one final question. The Pope this week said that it’s a disgrace what we’re now doing with this new government, deporting all of these people we’ve got, you know. Obviously there’s, there’s going to be a lot of media searching for the sad stories here, trying to turn public opinion against this operation.”
He asked Homan, ” What’s your message to the American people, as you guys do this work?” Homan gave a confident answer to the Pope. “I’m a lifelong Catholic. I was born Catholic. I’ve been through Catholic doctrine, but he only concentrates on the Catholic Church. First of all, he’s got big problems there in the Vatican.” “They have a wall around the Vatican. If you enter the Vatican, just the crime is serious, you’ll be charged with a serious crime [and end up] in jail, ” he added.
He slammed the woke Pope’s hypocrisy: “So he can protect the Vatican where he lives. He can build a wall where he lives, where American people are not allowed. ” The border Tsar gave a strong moral argument for why he wants to secure the border: “Securing the border saves lives.” Homan added that there are real costs to the human smuggling that brings many illegals to our nation.
“He needs to understand that we secure the border so that people come. Less women get cartel by the cartel, less children die in the river, less Americans die from fentanyl overdose,” he said. Homan added that the Pope has more pressing issues to worry about than illegal immigration into America. He replied, “He ought to stick to the Catholic Church. That’s a mess.”
