Media Miss by the left: Homan defends masked ICE agents amid threat spike
As Democrats push to ban immigration enforcement agents from wearing masks, Border Czar Tom Homan is defending the practice.
“Look, you know, I don’t like the masks either, but because threats against ice officers, you know, are up over 1,500%, actual assaults, and threats are up over 8,000%, these men and women have to protect themselves,” Homan said in an interview with CBS News on Sunday.
Democrats say they will not compromise on that demand – or others, including requiring body cameras – before agreeing to a funding bill to reopen the Department of Homeland Security.

Media Miss by the right: Epstein file release renews scrutiny
The Justice Department’s release of millions of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein has reignited scrutiny of high-profile figures who maintained contact with him after his conviction.
That includes Goldman Sachs’ top attorney Kathryn Ruemmler – who has faced pressure over her past association with Epstein – not over allegations of criminal wrongdoing, but over the relationship itself.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has also faced questions – from members of Congress – over a 2012 visit to Epstein’s private island.
