Nigel Farage told a US event he intends to "hijack" Tom Homan, President Trump's hardline Immigration and Customs Enforcement adviser, and take him back to Britain to fix the border crisis. The Reform UK leader praised Homan in front of the ICE tsar himself, calling on Europe to take a "more sensible view" of Trump's administration rather than treating it as "villainous." Farage's intervention comes days after Reform vowed to close a loophole exploited by small boat migrants. Homan has reportedly said he would simply "turn around" any rubber dinghies crossing a body of water like the Gulf of America.

Homan has stated that migrants wanting asylum should "go to an embassy" rather than arrive illegally by boat.
