Democrats are 'alarmed' by one Tom Homan line in his big speech: journalist [View all]

By Matthew Chapman
Published January 29, 2026 10:10 AM ET

When President Donald Trump's border adviser Tom Homan spoke to the press about his plans for assuming control of the deteriorating situation in Minneapolis, he struck a balance between suggesting that a "draw down" is possible if local officials cooperate with him, and remaining adamant that the administration will not "surrender" to anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protesters.

One particular moment of the news conference, however, has Democrats particularly on edge, MS NOW's Jonathan Lemire said on Thursday's edition of "Morning Joe."

"One last note about that Tom Homan news conference," he said. "A few Democrats have messaged me. One thing they found alarming was when he was asked by pretty partisan journalist, it would appear about the protesters, whether they've been organizing on WhatsApp or Signal and the like to interfere or observe ICE operations. And Homan said, yeah, we're monitoring that, and saying, quote, 'justice is coming.'"
