Homan is currently being dispatched to Minnesota as President Trump and Governor Tim Walz work towards bringing down the temperature after a number of deadly ICE shootings.
“This is a Washington Post  headline from nine years ago: ‘Meet the Man the White House Has Honored for Deporting Illegal Immigrants.’ I would remind everyone in this room that it was former President Barack Hussein Obama who awarded a medal to Mr. Homan,” Leavitt said.
