Thomas Homan (born c. 1961) is the acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Homan was the executive associate director of ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations since 2013.
Homan is from northern New York state. He served as a police officer in Carthage, NY before joining what was then called the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service in 1986. He served as a border patrol agent, an investigator, and a supervisor before being named to the executive associate director position. In 2015, he was given a Presidential Rank Award as a Distinguished Executive in the Obama administration. A Washington Post article at the time stated, "Thomas Homan deports people. And he's really good at it."
On January 30, 2017, President Donald Trump demoted acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement director Daniel Ragsdale to deputy director, a position he already held, and appointed Homan as acting director.
