Trump's border czar Tom Homan erupted into a profanity-filled tirade and challenged a heckler to a fight during a Turning Point USA event in Florida, after being confronted by a man wearing Trump gear who accused him of betraying the "ultra MAGA" base.
Homan, a longtime face of the Trump administration's hardline immigration policies, was speaking at the Student Action Summit in Tampa on Saturday, when a protester interrupted his speech with a poster of Homan and accusations about his record, Raw Story reported.
Though the heckler wore a Trump hat and T-shirt reading "I identify as ultra MAGA," he was swiftly removed from the venue as the crowd booed.
Instead of brushing off the incident, Homan leaned in. He taunted the protester's masculinity, shouted obscenities, and challenged him to meet "offstage in 13 minutes and 50 seconds." He also hurled insults about the man's appearance, saying he looked like someone who lived "in his mother's basement" and "sits down to pee."
The outburst went viral within hours, highlighting growing fractures within Trump's base over how immigration enforcement is being carried out. While the incident didn't stop the event, it cast a shadow over Homan's appearance.
With Trump's push for mass deportations and a daily arrest quota of 3,000, observers say internal conflicts within the MAGA movement may become harder to ignore. In recent weeks, his administration has rolled back protections like Temporary Protected Status for tens of thousands of migrants and expanded deportation authority through expedited removal policies.
