FACT CHECK #KDH6GK-T

WHAT WE FOUND

Documented evidence confirms that Tom Homan was frequently compared to a Nazi by critics and protesters during his tenure as the acting ICE Director under President Trump 2 8. Homan served as the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from January 2017 to June 2018 1 6. During and after this period, both Homan and the agency he led were the targets of 'Nazi rhetoric' and comparisons to the Third Reich regarding immigration enforcement policies 7 10. Source 8 explicitly notes that 'critics have likened him to a Nazi,' a comparison Homan has publicly condemned, noting that the agency he led actually 'deported real ones' 8 10. High-credibility fact-checkers also acknowledge the existence of these comparisons, often contrasting them with the Presidential Rank Award Homan received from the Obama administration in 2015 1 2 9.
