Farage complimented Tom Homan, Trump\u2019s adviser on the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Speaking at the event where Homan was a guest, he said: \u201cI\u2019ve got terrible news for you. We\u2019re hijacking Tom Homan and taking him back with us to secure our borders.\u201d<\/p>\n
Homan is Trump\u2019s key adviser on ICE, which is under scrutiny over its aggressive approach to immigration enforcement after a number of fatal shootings by its agents, including two people in July.<\/p>\n
Salgado Araujo and Dur\u00e1n Guerrero were the 29th and 30th people<\/a> that immigration officers have opened fire on since Trump took office last year, according to The Trace<\/a>, an outlet that tracks shootings in its gun violence data hub<\/a>.<\/p>\n Homan has taken a more hands-on approach to immigration policy since Trump brought him in to \u201cde\u2011escalate\u201d tensions in Minneapolis<\/a>, which was the scene of a brutal immigration crackdown in January.<\/p>\n In Trump\u2019s first term, he helped to design some of the administration\u2019s most draconian measures<\/a> \u2013 most notably family separation, a strategy reportedly deemed too severe<\/a> by officials in the Obama White House, but which later became central to Trump\u2019s \u201czero tolerance\u201d policy.<\/p>\n Reform UK has committed to a more hardline immigration policy than proposed by other mainstream parties, promising mass deportations of people who have entered the country illegally and deployment of the Royal Navy to intercept small boats in the Channel.<\/p>\n The party did not respond to a request for comment on whether it would seek to emulate Trump\u2019s style of immigration enforcement under ICE which has been criticised for its brutality<\/a>.<\/p>\n Farage interviewed Homan for his GB News show last year, describing him as uncompromising and saying he had achieved remarkable results on deportations, while acknowledging there had been \u201csome backlash\u201d.<\/p>\n On Trump in general, Farage said at the event that it was \u201cimportant that our country, and Europe too, get a better, more sensible view of America than it gets of the Trump administration<\/a> through traditional mainstream media who frankly paint the whole project out to be villainous\u201d.<\/p>\n![\"\u2018Party](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1919.jpg\")
