Trump’s Border Chief SHUTS DOWN Heckler After MS-13 Insult | Dares Heckler to Come on Stage to Fight

Trump border czar Tom Homan delivered a fiery speech at a Florida student summit, clashing with a heckler and promising to lead the “biggest deportation operation ever”. After a heckler asked if he was part of MS-13, Homan fired back, calling him a “loser” who lives in his mom’s basement. Defending ICE agents as “America’s finest 1%,” Homan declared he won’t back down. His aggressive defense of Trump’s immigration policy drew cheers and chants of “U-S-A” from the crowd, as Homan promised: “Tom Homan isn’t going anywhere.” #TomHoman #Immigration #Deportation #ICE #StudentSummit #USPolitics #AmericaFirst #TrumpAgenda #PoliticalSpeech #FloridaEvent #USAChants #ProtestDrama #Heckler #TrumpSupporters #GOP #Patriotism #HomelandSecurity #HomanSpeech #BorderControl #USNews #TrumpRally ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.124~
