Border Czar Tom Homan said things are getting so bad with the anti-ICE rhetoric that the death threats against his family have increased.

“Death threats against me alone have tripled,” Homan said Wednesday on “The Faulkner Focus,” according to Fox News. “They don’t want to kill me. They want to kill my family. You know, tear my soul out so I suffer the rest of my life.” 

At blame is the “hateful rhetoric” from Democratic leaders, who have invigorated an upswing in real-world threats, Homan said. He added that the danger does not stop with him, but widens to law enforcement agents across the nation.

“I said back in March … if the hateful rhetoric doesn’t decrease, there’s going to be bloodshed,” Homan said. “Unfortunately, I was right.”

The Department of Homeland Security released figures on Jan. 8 showing ICE officers have faced more than a 1,300% increase in reported assaults, a 3,200% rise in vehicular attacks and an 8,000% spike in death threats.

Still, Immigration operations have spread nationwide, especially in cities like Minneapolis. But the anti-ICE bombast increased in Minnesota after an immigration officer allegedly shot to death Renee Nicole Good, a protester who tried to run him over with a vehicle.

Good’s shooting spurned a national debate over whether the federal officer’s use of deadly force was justified. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is among the Democratic leaders calling out immigration officers. 

On Wednesday, on “Fox & Friends,” Frey insisted on his scandalous comments telling ICE to “get the f—” out of the city in the hours after Good’s death.

“I stand by exactly what I said,” Frey told “Fox & Friends.”

The mayor said he does not support abolishing ICE but accused the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement of fueling “chaos” in the city.
