This past weekend saw White House Border Czar Thom Homan address attendees at Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit in Tampa, Florida.

Although the Trump administration official was at one point confronted by a heckler, he quickly put the disruption to an end. 

Homan: "He hasn't got the b---- to be a Border Patrol agent"

According to Fox News, the incident occurred on Saturday as Homan was providing details about activities by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

When a man in the audience demanded to know if the border czar was a member of the gang MS-13, Homan responded by pledging "to run the biggest deportation operation this country has ever seen."

"This guy wouldn't know what it's like to serve this nation. This guy ain't got the b---- to be an ICE officer. He hasn't got the b---- to be a Border Patrol agent," Homan declared.

"You want some? Come get some," he added. "I'm tired of it. For the men and women of ICE, I deserve your respect. They're the finest 1% this country has. And Tom Homan isn't going anywhere. Tom Homan isn't shutting up."

Trump authorizes ICE agents to arrest "slimeballs"

Homan's exchange came just days after the New York Post reported that President Donald Trump authorized ICE agents to arrest those who obstruct their duties.

"I am directing Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, and Border Czar, Tom Homan, to instruct all ICE, Homeland Security, or any other Law Enforcement Officer who is on the receiving end of thrown rocks, bricks, or any other form of assault, to stop their car, and arrest these SLIMEBALLS, using whatever means is necessary to do so," Trump said in a social media post.

The president's announcement came following an ICE raid on a marijuana grow operation in Southern California this past Thursday.

The agents were met with rock-throwing angry demonstrators as well as one man who discharged a firearm at ICE vehicles.

Homan links violence agents agents to left-wing rhetoric

The Post pointed out that Homan addressed that attack while making a Friday morning appearance on "Fox & Friends."

"What happened in California is just another example of protesters becoming criminals, and they’ve been emboldened by even members of Congress who compare ICE to Nazis and racists and terrorists," Homan complained.

"I said months ago, it’s going to end up with a loss of life — and we had one the other day in Texas, and it’s not over," he asserted, recalling how shots were fired at Border Patrol agents earlier in the week.
