Farage eyes Trump's immigration chief

Nigel Farage, Reform UK leader, said he wants to bring Tom Homan, Trump's adviser on US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, to the UK to help secure British borders.

“We're hijacking Tom Homan and taking him back with us to secure our borders.”

Homan's record under scrutiny

Tom Homan is Trump's key adviser on ICE, which faces criticism over aggressive immigration enforcement. ICE agents have opened fire on thirty people since Trump took office last year.

Homan's role in Trump policy

Trump brought Homan in to de-escalate tensions in Minneapolis after a brutal immigration crackdown in January. In Trump's first term, Homan helped design family separation policy, later central to Trump's zero tolerance approach.

Reform UK's hardline stance

Reform UK has committed to hardline immigration policy, promising mass deportations of people who entered illegally and Royal Navy deployment to intercept small boats in the Channel.

Farage praises Trump broadly

Farage said Europe should take a more sensible view of Trump's administration rather than seeing it as villainous. He previously interviewed Homan for his GB News show, describing him as uncompromising.

Farage breaks with Trump on Ireland

Farage departed from Trump's views this week after the US president said he would love to see a united Ireland. Farage said Northern Ireland is a proud part of the United Kingdom.

“Northern Ireland is a proud and integral part of the United Kingdom.”
