Incoming border czar Tom Homan told Daily Caller News Foundation co-founder Tucker Carlson on Wednesday that he “had a falling-out” with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over the handling of transgender illegal immigrants in detention.
Homan signed a memo in June 2015 providing guidance on how to care for transgender detainees when he was executive associate director of Enforcement and Removal Operations at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under former President Barack Obama and Mayorkas, who, at the time, was the DHS deputy secretary. Homan, on “The Tucker Carlson Show,” said Mayorkas “ordered” him to sign the memo, prompting “a huge argument” between them.

“The main thing we disagreed on is the transgender policy, where he wanted the special treatment for transgenders in ICE detention,” Homan said. “I was ordered to sign that policy.”
