(DCNF)—White House border czar Tom Homan said Tuesday on Fox News that Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson should experience firsthand what U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents face before criticizing them.
Pritzker has repeatedly opposed ICE enforcement efforts while downplaying Chicago’s violent crime, calling the city’s summer “amazing” despite dozens of shootings and more than 100 murders. Appearing on “The Ingraham Angle,” Homan blasted the governor and other officials for attacking federal agents while ignoring the realities those agents face on the ground.
“Here’s what should happen. The judge, Governor Pritzker, Mayor Johnson, put a Border Patrol uniform on for one shift. Come out there and stand there with the men and women of the Border Patrol and ICE, and see how you’re going to respond,” Homan told host Laura Ingraham.
Homan said federal agents are rigorously trained to handle volatile situations and do not resort to force unless absolutely necessary.
“The Border Patrol agents are trained very well on use of force continuum. They don’t go from zero to 100. There’s no use of force against peaceful protesters,” Homan said. “But when they impede them, when they threaten them, when they assault them, when they trespass, use of force is used at the lowest level to make someone comply to the highest level if needed, if the death threat or a serious bodily injury.”
Homan added that the Border Patrol’s training standards remain among the nation’s best.
“So these agents are very well trained. Even back in 1984, when I went to the Border Patrol Academy, you’re well trained in crowd control and riot control. These are the best trained men and women that come into riot control, crowd control,” Homan said. “They’re doing it exactly as they were trained to do. So I would question the judge. You know what’s happening? Put on that uniform, stand on that front line, and have stones thrown at you, and see if there’s justification for these men and women to protect themselves.”
ICE agents have increasingly faced violent attacks amid escalating anti-enforcement riots across the country. In Chicago, rioters were filmed calling for agents to be arrested or shot, while in Dallas, two people were killed during a Sept. 24 shooting at an ICE office before the gunman took his own life.
Texas authorities reported two other shootings targeting ICE and Border Patrol facilities since July 4, leading to 10 attempted murder charges. And during a September operation in suburban Chicago, an ICE agent was “seriously injured” after a suspect allegedly dragged him with a vehicle while trying to flee.

Three Reasons a Coffee Gift Set From This Christian Company Is Perfect for Christmas
When you’re searching for a Christmas gift that’s meaningful, useful, and rooted in faith, you don’t want to settle for anything generic. This season is filled with noise — mass-produced products, last-minute picks, and trends that fade as quickly as they appear. But one gift stands apart because it blends genuine quality with a message that matters: a coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee.
This small Christian-owned company has become a favorite among believers who want to support faith-driven businesses while giving friends and family something they’ll actually enjoy. Here are three reasons a Promised Grounds Coffee gift set may be the most thoughtful and impactful present you give this year.
1. It’s Truly Delicious Coffee
Too many “gift-worthy” coffees look beautiful in the package but disappoint when the cup is poured. Promised Grounds takes the opposite approach — exceptional taste first, thoughtful presentation second.
Their beans are sourced with care, roasted in small batches, and crafted to bring out a rich, smooth flavor profile that appeals to both casual drinkers and true coffee lovers. Whether someone enjoys bold, dark roasts or lighter, more delicate blends, every sip reflects quality that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the biggest specialty brands.
Simply put: this coffee is good. Really good. Some say it’s absolutely fantastic. If you want a gift that won’t be re-gifted, ignored, or shoved in a cabinet, this is it.
2. It Spreads the Word While Serving a Real Purpose
There are many Christian gifts that are meaningful… but not exactly practical. There are also useful gifts that have nothing to do with faith. Promised Grounds Coffee bridges both worlds beautifully.
Each gift set delivers an encouraging, faith-centered message through its packaging and presentation — a simple but powerful reminder of God’s goodness during the Christmas season. The cups are especially popular and serve as a daily reminder of the blessings from our Lord. At the same time, the product itself is something people will actually use and appreciate every single day.
It’s a gift that uplifts the spirit and fills the mug. A gift that points loved ones toward Scripture while still being part of the normal rhythm of life. And in a culture that increasingly pushes faith to the margins, giving a gift that quietly but confidently honors Christ can make a deeper impact than you might expect.
3. It’s Affordable, Valuable, and Elegantly Presented
Many people want to give something meaningful without breaking their Christmas budget. Promised Grounds Coffee strikes that perfect balance — the sets look and feel premium, but the price remains accessible.
The packaging is classy, clean, and gift-ready, making it ideal for:
- Family members of all ages
- Co-workers or employees
- Church friends or small-group leaders
- Hosts, neighbors, and last-minute gift needs
It’s the kind of gift that feels more expensive than it is — and more thoughtful than most of what you’ll find on store shelves.
The Perfect Blend of Faith, Flavor, and Christmas Cheer
A coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee checks every box: a gift that tastes amazing, conveys your faith, supports a Christian business, and brings daily enjoyment to the person who receives it. In a season when so many gifts are forgotten, this one stands out for all the right reasons.
If you want a Christmas present that reflects your values and delivers genuine joy, Promised Grounds Coffee is the perfect place to start.
