Tom Homan

Let me go the first time I worked for President Trump. True story. I was the third in command of ICE, Executive Associate Director for ERO, Enforcement Mobile Operations. And the time I spent there, we removed, I don't know, over a million illegal aliens when I was there in that position for three years. After eight years of Barack Obama, It was Hillary Clinton versus President Trump.

I was convinced Hillary was going to win. Convinced. I think most of America was, because she was so far behind the polls. So before the election, I announced my retirement. So I had it. After eight years of Obama, I'm not spending four years with Clinton. I'm not going to do it. So I signed a contract with this company that paid me three times as much as I made for Ice Guy.

So I signed a contract to announce my retirement. I gave him 120 days. I will leave in January. right after, you know, inauguration. Well, my retirement party, anyway, back up. So the election happened. So the next morning I wake up, I remember my wife saying, Trump won. Now what are you going to do? Well, I already announced my retirement, I already signed his contract, so I got to go.

I already got these things lined up. So at my retirement party, A lot of people show up. Saddest day of my life, January 2017, because after over three decades doing the job, that was my last day. And when you carry a badge and gun, you do this job for so long, it becomes a big part of who you are.

And I knew that day I was going to leave that building, and I'm a time-honored civilian for the first time in 34 years. So at the end of the retirement ceremony, I was shaking hands with my wife, and I got an emergency phone call. John Kelly, who was assistant, was the secretary of Homeland Security.

So I took the phone call with John Kelly, and he says, Tom, I know this is bad timing, but the president, the president, like you're president, like you're standing around the agency, which is going to be a two-step promotion. I said, sir, it's bad timing. I just retired. He goes, no, you didn't. Paperwork's not on my desk. It hasn't been signed.

So I said, well, sir, all due respect, my family's been through an awful lot. Multiple moves, death threats, protests at my home. I says, I got to talk to my family about this. Plus, I signed a contract with this company. I don't know what my legal obligations are on that. This is a Friday. I said, can I have till Monday? Now, think about this. He goes, certainly.

I remember what he said before I hung up. He goes, let me leave you with this thought, Tom. And I remember this word for it. He goes, Tom, the President of the United States is asking you, a career law enforcement officer, to serve your country a little bit longer. He needs your help, Tom. I'll call you Monday, 0600.
