Boston councilwoman backs off after ridiculing Tom Homan's employment history in fiery post: 'I understand'
Fox News
After mocking Border Czar Tom Homan's brief stint as a small-town cop in the 1980s, Councilwoman Sharon Durkan posted a clarification post on X Sunday evening.
"Yes, I understand that Tom Homan spent his career as a federal agent within Border Patrol & ICE, but that’s a world away from the realities of policing a major city," Durkan explained. "His background is in immigration enforcement, not community policing – where trust and accountability are key." Andrea Margolis is a writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
