Chiefs proprietor’s spouse rushes to defend Trump’s border czar from ‘brainwashed’ Americans
The wife of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt has expressed her support for Donald Trump‘s ‘border czar’ after sharing a post about his previous work under Barack Obama.
Tom Homan, an American law enforcement officer who has served as acting director of ICE since Trump’s first term began in 2017, has come in for heavy criticism amid the president’s sweeping immigration crackdown.
Earlier this month, the death of American citizen Rennee Good – who was shot and killed by an ICE officer in Minnesota – sparked fierce controversy and protests against the federal law enforcement agency.
Yet as he continues to come under fire, Tavia Hunt – who has been married to Chiefs owner Clark for 32 years – reposted an Instagram story that points out how Homan received special recognition from ex-president Barack Obama.
During Obama’s second term, the immigration chief received the Presidential Rank Award for Distinguished Service after achieving ‘extraordinary results’ as ICE’s executive associate director of enforcement and removal operations.
The Instagram post shared by Tavia reads: ‘Barack Obama’s ICE chief received an award for 920,000 removals. Donald Trump’s ICE chief was called a Nazi. It’s the same person: Tom Homan.

‘In 2012, Obama deported 409,000 people. In 2025, Trump deported 290,000 people.
‘The difference is mainstream media brainwashing.’
The Hunt family have previously aligned themselves with the Republican party, including when Tavia and Clark’s daughter Gracie sided with Trump and his MAGA supporters over Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny performing the Super Bowl halftime show.
Given he has frequently hit out at Trump’s immigration policies, and even refused to tour in the US over concerns that his fans would be targeted by ICE agents, Bad Bunny being unveiled as the halftime act sparked outrage amongst conservatives, who have called for a boycott of his performance in Santa Clara.
Back in October, Turning Point USA, the nonprofit conservative group founded by late activist Charlie Kirk, along his widow Erika announced a counterprogram halftime event that will be held during Bad Bunny’s show.
One person fully behind that idea is Gracie, whose dad Clark has owned the Chiefs since 2006. Her grandfather, Lamar, was also credited with coining the term ‘Super Bowl’ back in the 1960s.
‘I really respect Erika for all that she’s done, especially with creating a halftime show for America. You know, children are young, they’re impressionable. Young women, young men and everyone, they just need someone to look up to,’ Gracie, 26, said during an appearance on Fox News Channel’s The Will Cain Show.

‘As someone who doesn’t yet have young children of my own, I can’t imagine how difficult that is to navigate. But I think she’s done an incredible job leading Turning Point, leading young women and really leading an alternative for young Americans. Football’s becoming the world sport, but, at its heart, it’s America’s sport built around family.
‘When my grandfather named the Super Bowl, he intended it to be something children and families of all ages could come together and watch and really believed that the game should come first, that football is the attraction and that it didn’t need to compromise its character or rely on cheap appeal to draw an audience, especially when that approach can alienate so much of the fan base.’
‘The NFL honors women, the military. This country celebrates communities. So I think that whoever they select going forward for the halftime show needs to reflect those values more closely. So, I respect Erika.’
