Summary
Tom Homan called Florida Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon's claim that ICE racially profiles Black Americans "ridiculous," saying agents act on reasonable suspicion and probable cause, not skin color.
On Fox's "Saturday in America," Homan said he was an "equal opportunity deporter" who sent people to 180 countries last year, arguing immigration status alone drives enforcement.
Homan tied the dispute to sanctuary-city policy, saying local limits on cooperation force ICE to make more street arrests and raise risks for officers, migrants and the public.
Nixon, who recently won Florida's Democratic primary, campaigns on abolishing ICE and ending detention centers, calling mass deportation a moral failure and the agency a "weaponized paramilitary force."
DHS also rejected Nixon's allegations as false, underscoring how immigration enforcement has become a flashpoint in Florida's Senate race.
