Tom Homan has revealed that Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons and his family endured vicious harassment from the left, including doxxing of his wife and children and protests at their home.

Lyons is stepping down from the agency at the end of May.

In a Newsmax interview on Friday, Homan praised Lyons’ service while highlighting the personal toll the job has taken on him and his family.

Lyons, a career law enforcement official who oversaw record deportations, announced his resignation earlier this week. He cited a desire to spend more time with his family and transition to the private sector, with his last day set for May 31.

Homan told Newsmax, “God bless Todd and his family — his family sacrificed a lot. The left has not only attacked him. They doxed his wife and his kids and protested his home and his family and you know, they deserve a break and I’ll miss him. He’s a friend of mine. I’ll still be friends with him.”

Homan also expressed appreciation for Lyons’ leadership, noting that under his direction, “ICE achieved a record number of removals in the first year of this Administration, despite unprecedented challenges.”

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin confirmed the resignation in a statement provided to Bill Melugin on Thursday.

“Director Lyons has been a great leader of ICE and key player in helping the Trump administration remove murderers, rapists, pedophiles, terrorists, and gang members from American communities. He jumpstarted an agency that had not been allowed to do its job for four years. Thanks to his leadership, American communities are safer,” Mullin said.

“We wish him luck on his next opportunity in the private sector. His last day is May 31, 2026.”

The resignation comes as ICE continues high-volume enforcement actions nationwide, with Homan and the Trump administration vowing to press forward despite opposition from sanctuary cities and activist groups.

Lyons has not issued additional public comments on the harassment beyond his internal memo referencing family time.
