"We're talking, of course, about White House Border Czar Tom Homan reportedly being sent to Minneapolis to somehow calm down what's happening there. And as Saturday Night Livepointed out, he does not have a clear way of doing that. Pete Davidson returned to the show as Homan, addressing ICE and CBP agents who are just as smart and qualified as reports have stated."
"thousands joined protests and a general strike across the country, opposing what even Joe Rogan has called gestapo-like tactics. "Look, I'm Tom Homan, okay?" Davidson said, before breaking a little because he is not Tom Homan, okay, he is new father and Netflix "podcaster" Pete Davidson. "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. That's crazy!"
Tom Homan was reportedly dispatched to Minneapolis to address escalating unrest. Saturday Night Live aired a sketch featuring Pete Davidson portraying Homan and addressing ICE and CBP agents. The sketch portrayed agents as angry, aggressive, and insufficiently trained, including a line that accused leadership of hiring violent personnel, arming them, and failing to train them. The sketch aired after thousands joined protests and a general strike nationwide opposing immigration enforcement tactics that some have described as gestapo-like. Davidson's portrayal referenced Homan's association with family separations and alleged bribery, and used satire to suggest that presenting Homan as the reasonable adult is absurd.
