"I'm sure a lot of you are wondering why Greg Bovino, the last guy, was dismissed, Homan said. I want to stress that it wasn't because he did a bad job, or publicly lied about the shooting of an American citizen, or even uh-oh dressed like a Nazi. It was that he was filmed doing these things. And the president no likey that!"
"In the sketch, Homan was addressing ICE agents. And they expressed confusion about the nature of ICE operations in Minneapolis. Who could tell me why we're here in Minneapolis? Pass, one agent said. Uh, no, can't pass, Homan said. Come on, guys, what are we doing in Minneapolis? This could be wrong, but Army? Another agents said. That's close! That's close! Homan said. We're here to detain and deport illegal immigrants who have committed crimes."
"Look, I'm Tom Homan, OK? Homan said. I'm the separating families at the border guy. I'm the on film taking a $50,000 bribe guy, and y'all are making me look like the upstanding reasonable adult in the room!"
Pete Davidson returned to portray Border Czar Tom Homan in a Saturday Night Live cold open set in Minneapolis. The sketch opened by mocking the removal of Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino, with Homan suggesting Bovino's dismissal stemmed from being filmed doing troubling acts. ICE agents in the sketch expressed confusion about their mission in Minneapolis, prompting Homan to declare the group was there to detain and deport immigrants who committed crimes. Davidson's Homan lampooned his own controversial record, referencing family separations and a filmed bribe, and complained about being cast as the reasonable adult amid chaos.
