Border czar Tom Homan's security detail costs around $1 million a month

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-border-czar-tom-homan-security-detail-costs/

Security for Trump administration border czar Tom Homan costs more than $500,000 a month, multiple sources within the administration told CBS News, an amount that has drawn attention from allies of President Trump who have been seeking to shrink government spending.

The total cost of Homan's security — with roughly $500,000 in salaries for agents plus airfare, hotel bills and other travel expenses for his protective bubble — adds up to around $1 million per month for the Trump appointee, another administration official said.

Homan declined to comment on Friday.

"DHS ensures our leaders are safe and protected," Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin told CBS News Friday, citing "dangerous rhetoric" from politicians and activists surrounding the Trump administration's immigration enforcement efforts that result in an increase in assaults and doxxing, exposing someone's identifying information online.

"We will continue to take measures to ensure Mr. Homan and his family are safe," McLaughlin added. The Department of Homeland Security declined to confirm the cost.

I don’t think he needs any security. Or make him run his project from a secure room, and stay inside all day. A guy really interested in doing the job doesn’t need to go anywhere. Can’t wait to see these devils gone.
