Thomas Homan, the combative acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), announced Monday that he will retire from federal service after 34 years. In a statement, Homan said: "It has been the honor of my life to lead the men and woman of ICE for more than a year." After being informed last fall that the White House had not found a nominee, Homan was asked to accept the nomination. I thank them for sharing Tom with a grateful nation," current DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen told department employees in an email. In the 2017 fiscal year, ICE arrested more than 110,000 people -- a 42 percent increase over fiscal year 2016.
