“Border czar” Tom Homan is facing a backlash in his own hometown of Sackets Harbor, New York, after an immigration raid swept up a mother and her three school-aged children.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection took the family and three others into custody on March 27 in an early-morning raid on a dairy farm in Sackets Harbor, a small hamlet on the shores of Lake Ontario, on the western edge of New York’s North Country region. Within days, the mother and her children had been whisked away to Karnes County Immigration Processing Center, a privately operated Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Texas that accommodates families, according to people familiar with the family’s case.

    Tom Homan sounds like a name made up by aliens. “Yes, of course I am also a human being just like you. Look at my name.”

      Initially the name was written as “Tom Human” (sans serif). As the alien could feel the humans staring more intently at him, he carefully connects the top of the “u” almost resembling an “o” and flashes his best approximation of the human gesture known as “smile”. The clerk rolls his eyes, stamps the paperwork, and lazily gestures for the man to proceed. The clerk opens a new tab in his browser and types “Is Men In Black based on a true story.”
