Border Czar Anticipates Future 9/11 Style Attacks on the U.S.: 'I'm Convinced Something's Coming'

Trump's border czar Tom Homan, warned that the United States could face a terrorist attack the scale of 9/11 due to border security policies implemented during the Joe Biden administration.

Speaking with Fox News' Sean Hannity, Homan attributed his assessment to the roughly 2 million "gotaway" migrants who crossed the southern border during the Biden administration but were never caught by Border Patrol.

"These 2 million known gotaways scare the hell out of me," he said, claiming that some of these individuals could be terrorists. "I'm convinced something's coming unless we can find them."

Hannity then asked Homan: "do you not agree that if we don't find these people soon, that we are at risk of a 9/11 or worse?"

"It's coming," said Homan, warning that unless they are located, a major attack is likely.

Homan cited the recent incident in Boulder, Colorado, where a man who overstayed his visa in the country injured 12 people during an antisemitic attack involving Molotov cocktails, as an example of how inadequate screening and visa oversight can pose security risks. The suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, entered the U.S. legally on a tourist visa in 2022, later sought asylum, and received a work permit. That visa expired in March.

Homan also criticized what he described as the previous administration's loose handling of work permits. "Even through the legal process, the Biden administration was bringing people unvetted," he said.

As Homan takes a prominent role in the Trump team's proposed large-scale deportation effort, his profile and personal security detail have been scrutinized as of late. According to CBS News, Homan receives 24/7 protection from approximately 30 Homeland Security Investigations agents, costing taxpayers an estimated $1 million per month. The Department of Homeland Security has defended the expenditure, citing threats made against him.

Meanwhile, recent disclosures revealed that Homan previously received consulting fees from GEO Care, a division of the private prison firm GEO Group. Though Homan has pledged to recuse himself from decisions involving the company, ethics experts and immigrant rights advocates have raised concerns over potential conflicts of interest, as GEO stands to benefit from the Trump administration's proposed expansion of detention facilities.
