In a move that’s setting social media ablaze, President Trump’s hardline “Border Czar” Tom Homan is doubling down on his promise to unleash a wave of workplace raids targeting illegal immigrants across the United States. The controversial figure, known for his unapologetic stance on immigration enforcement, has sparked a firestorm of debate with his aggressive push for mass deportations. A recent poll circulating online asks a question that’s got everyone talking: Do you agree that Tom Homan should continue conducting workplace raids to deport illegal immigrants? The answers are pouring in, and the results are nothing short of explosive. 

Homan, a former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from 2017 to 2018, has made it clear he’s not backing down. “If you’re in the country illegally, you got a problem,” he declared on ABC’s This Week on January 26, 2025, sending shockwaves through communities and igniting fierce arguments on platforms like Threads. His plan? To revive large-scale workplace raids, a tactic the Biden administration shelved in 2021, and deport millions of undocumented immigrants, prioritizing those he deems “public safety threats” and “national security risks.” But here’s the kicker: Homan has admitted that even U.S. citizens have been swept up in these raids, raising alarms about racial profiling and overreach. 

The poll, which has gone viral on Threads, is racking up thousands of responses, with opinions split down the middle. Supporters argue that Homan’s raids are a necessary step to secure the border and protect American jobs. “It’s about time we enforce the law! Illegal immigration is a slap in the face to those who follow the rules,” one user posted, echoing sentiments from Homan’s own statements at the 2024 Republican National Convention, where he warned undocumented immigrants to “start packing now.” His backers see him as a patriot, unafraid to tackle what he calls “the biggest national security vulnerability since 9/11.” 

On the flip side, critics are slamming the raids as cruel and chaotic. “This is a witch hunt tearing families apart!” one Threads user fumed, pointing to Homan’s role in the infamous “zero tolerance” policy that separated thousands of migrant children from their parents during Trump’s first term. Immigrant rights groups are gearing up for legal battles, warning that these raids could disrupt industries like agriculture and construction, which rely heavily on undocumented labor. A study from the Migration Policy Institute notes that roughly 4 million U.S. citizen children live with an undocumented parent, raising fears of collateral damage. “Families can be deported together,” Homan claims, but many question whether that’s even feasible without causing widespread trauma. 

What’s got everyone buzzing is Homan’s no-holds-barred rhetoric. At a recent Turning Point USA conference, he taunted a heckler, saying, “You want some? Come get some!” His brash style, combined with his promise of “shock and awe” on day one of Trump’s second term, has made him a lightning rod for controversy. Some Threads users are eating it up, calling him a “badass” who’s finally taking action, while others label him a “bully” pushing a divisive agenda. The hashtag #HomanRaids is trending, with memes, rants, and heated debates flooding the platform. 

Homan’s plan isn’t without hurdles. He’s admitted to CNN that he’ll need at least 100,000 detention beds—more than double ICE’s current capacity—and massive funding from Congress to pull off what he calls “the biggest deportation operation this country has ever seen.” But with Republicans pushing for budget cuts, can he deliver? Some lawmakers, like Rep. Darrell Issa, say Homan’s been candid about the challenges, estimating a realistic target of 1 to 2 million deportations due to limited resources. Still, Homan’s not sweating it. “What price do you put on national security?” he asked ABC News, doubling down on his mission. 

Social media is a battleground over this issue. Threads users are sharing stories of workplaces already feeling the heat, with reports of ICE agents targeting construction sites and farms. One viral post claimed a raid in Boston nabbed a Haitian gang leader with 17 convictions, but Homan’s own admission that “collateral arrests” happen has sparked outrage. “They’re not just going after criminals—they’re grabbing anyone who looks the part!” one user wrote, while another countered, “If you’re breaking the law, you’re fair game!” The poll’s results are fueling the fire, with early data suggesting 52% support the raids, but the numbers shift hourly as more weigh in. 

Homan’s critics also point to his ties to private prison companies like GEO Group, which saw a 6.7% stock jump after his appointment was announced. Is this about security or profit? The question is trending on Threads, with users demanding transparency. Meanwhile, Homan’s pushing for self-deportation, warning undocumented immigrants to “get your affairs in order” or face fines up to $998 daily. “You cannot hide,” he told a White House briefing, a statement that’s now a meme with ominous emojis.

As the debate rages, one thing’s clear: Homan’s raids are a powder keg. Will they secure the border or tear communities apart? The poll is still live, and Threads is exploding with takes. Cast your vote and join the chaos—where do you stand?  #HomanRaids #BorderCzar #ImmigrationDebate
