In APRIL 2016, Homan got a medal - a Presidential Rank Awards - for deporting people.

Obama honored him.

Interesting that Homan was in charge during President Obama and between January and June 2025, Donald Trump's administration carried out 128,039 deportations, averaging 810 per day, fewer than in the years with the highest deportations under Obama.
