Summary
Tom Homan has spent more than 40 years in law enforcement.He didn't have to come back. But he did because he believes in the mission and the people carrying it out. When Dr. Phil sat down with him in January, a major story was just breaking. A lot has happened since. Homan was dispatched toMinneapolis to take control of a difficult situation, worked directly with local officials to bring things to a close, and has spent the months since navigating one of the most intense periods in the history of border enforcement. Through all of it, he has remained focused on one thing... the safety of the American people and the men and women putting their lives on the line every day to protect it. Dr. Phil gives him the space to speak for himself, talk about what he's learned, and share why, through all the noise, he believes the work matters.
