After over two years of silence, the Homan parody account sprang to life and began tweeting out links to support groups against Trump’s immigration policies which have been internationally criticized.

To the Dem candidates for president: please release immigration plans that offer generous visas for climate migration.
— ICE Director Homan (@ThomasHomanICE) July 29, 2019
Any modern immigration system needs to account for climate refugees.
The biggest carbon-emitting countries owe a debt to the world we helped destroy.
We should absolutely decriminalize crossing the border.

But we’ll need to do much more before we can our immigration system fair or decent.

Looking for ways to support your local immigrant community?
— ICE Director Homan (@ThomasHomanICE) July 29, 2019
1) Donate to worker centers and local immigrants rights nonprofits
2) Help distribute know your rights materials, especially in more rarely spoken languages
3) Refugee resettlement groups often need volunteers!
Ask the Democratic candidates to:
— ICE Director Homan (@ThomasHomanICE) July 29, 2019
Take immigration court out of DOJ
Allow undocumented folks to immediately convert to LPR
Repeal Sections 1325 & 1326
Eliminate private detention
Eliminate ICE detainers
Abolish ICE ERO
Defund Mexico’s anti-refugee program
At the time of this article, Trump had not removed the two tags to an account raising money and awareness against his ideals. Instead, he followed with a tweet about the Sunday evening shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival.
Law Enforcement is at the scene of shootings in Gilroy, California. Reports are that shooter has not yet been apprehended. Be careful and safe!
