The agency tasked with executing President Donald Trump’s deportation campaign against immigrants announced that its director, Tom Homan, will step down at the end of May. This was revealed by DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin in a post on the social media platform X.
In the post, Mullin praised Homan for assisting in the removal of “killers, rapists, child molesters, terrorists, and gang members” from the United States. He added that “thanks to his leadership, American communities are safer,” although no public reason has been given for Homan’s resignation.
Homan was appointed to the position in March 2025, having previously served with the agency for approximately two decades. The agency has faced criticism regarding its immigration law enforcement operations in cities such as Chicago and Minneapolis, where federal agents were deployed to target immigrants. Protests intensified following the shooting deaths of two individuals by federal agents in separate incidents in Minneapolis in January, which sparked widespread demonstrations and renewed scrutiny of the agency’s methods.
Reports indicate that Homan submitted his resignation to the Secretary yesterday, with sources stating that he intends to spend more time with his family.
