White House border czar Tom Homan rejects allegations that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrest parents at school bus stops in Connecticut. The dispute follows claims by Sen. Chris Murphy, a Democrat from Connecticut, who has said the agency is “terrorizing little kids” and targeting families at bus locations.
Homan responds that the records do not show ICE conducting elementary-school-related arrests in recent years, arguing that the claim lacks a specific example. Fox News reports the allegation is described as politically motivated, citing a statement from the Department of Homeland Security. The Hill similarly reports Homan’s pushback, focusing on his assertion that no single incident from the previous two years can substantiate the allegation.
While Murphy frames the issue as misconduct and harm to children, Homan and DHS counter that the charge is unsupported and driven by politics rather than documented enforcement activity. The outlets differ mainly in emphasis—Murphy’s characterization versus Homan’s and DHS’s denial—rather than on the basic fact that the allegation centers on a specific Connecticut school bus stop.
