Border Czar Thomas Homan coming to Rochester

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) – Border Czar Thomas Homan will be visiting Rochester on Tuesday, the Locust Club confirmed with News 8.

This follows around a month after Homan posted a statement on ‘X’ showing his support for the Rochester Police Department officers involved in an incident where an officer broke city policy when responding to a call for help from Homeland Security (Border Patrol).

In the statement Homan said he “stands with the officers,” and goes on to say “sanctuary policies endanger our police and public. President Trump and AG Pam Bondi are committed to taking them on and so am I. Help is coming!”

Legislators and Union Representatives also responded to the incident.

County Legislator Rachel Barnhart says she is working on a resolution to make Monroe County a “human rights county.” The Monroe County Republican Conference said the officers did their jobs, adding that Monroe County families deserve to have the law upheld.

The police union said that criminal laws should be enforced, and Mercedes Vazquez Simmons agrees they should, under due process.

As of Sunday, the Locust Club confirm Homan is planning a visit to Rochester on Tuesday and noted that more details regarding his visit will soon become available.
