Border czar Tom Homan delivered a fiery speech at Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit Saturday night in Tampa, Florida, firing back at protesters and vowing aggressive immigration enforcement.
Early in his speech, Homan was interrupted by a heckler who shouted, “Are you an MS-13 member?” referring to the Salvadoran gang targeted by the Trump administration’s deportation efforts. Security quickly removed the heckler from the venue.
Homan responded forcefully, saying the heckler “wouldn’t know what it’s like to serve this nation” and criticized him for lacking the courage to be an ICE or Border Patrol agent. He mocked the protester, saying, “This guy lives in his mother’s basement… Get out of here, you loser.”
