White House border czar Tom Homan said he's living away from his wife because of death threats he has received since joining the Trump administration.

Speaking to the New York Post's "Pod Force One" podcast, Homan said his wife is "living separately from me right now, mainly because I worked for many hours, but mostly because of the death threats against me."

"She's someplace else. I see her as much as I can, but the death threats against me and my family are outrageous."

Homan did not specify the nature of the threats. He is among the most high-profile members of the administration, playing a leading role in its mass deportation efforts. More recently, he clashed with Democratic governors during a tense congressional hearing, with two daring him to arrest them for resisting federal enforcement.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker were among the state leaders who forcefully criticized federal overreach during the hearing, Axios detailed.

Hochul responded to Homan's threat by saying, "If Tom Homan comes to Albany to arrest me, I'll say go for it." Pritzker echoed the sentiment, stating he would "stand in the way of Tom Homan going after people who don't deserve to be frightened in their communities."

Homan previously floated the idea of arresting officials who obstruct immigration enforcement or shield undocumented residents. Calls for such arrests escalated after Trump recently suggested California Gov. Gavin Newsom be detained amid protests in Los Angeles.
