Story summary

Tom Homan, the head of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under President Trump, defended his agency’s operations against Republican criticism from lawmakers like Florida Rep. María Elvira Salazar who claimed that ICE tactics had "gone too far." In an interview with CBS News, Homan challenged critics to provide specific instances where ICE overstepped its bounds, saying, "Give me an example of when we went too far." Homan also argued that much of the criticism was politically motivated and not based on facts. He pointed out that during the Obama administration, ICE had similarly high arrest and deportation figures while he was a senior official there.
