‘It's coming': Tom Homan ‘convinced' US will see major terror attack, blames lax Biden border policy
Donald Trump's Border Czar says he's 'convinced' that a '9/11 or worse' will soon strike the US as a result of former President Joe Biden's immigration and border policies. The bombshell from Trump's right-hand-man in immigration, Tom Homan, came during Fox News host Sean Hannity's most recent segment after Hannity openly pondered, 'What did we learn from 9/11?' and expressed concern about the possibility of a major terror attack. Hannity cited this week's antisemitic terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, where a man who was in the country illegally allegedly injured 12 people by using a makeshift flamethrower and molotov cocktails. The suspected firebomber, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, is a 45-year-old Egyptian national who entered the country on a tourist visa in 2022, sought asylum and later obtained a work permit from the Biden administration, according to the Trump administration. But the accused's work visa expired this past March, meaning he was no longer in the US legally. Hannity eventually asked, 'if we don't find these people soon, we're at risk of a 9/11 or worse?' referencing an opaque amount of undocumented migrants in the US. 'It's coming,' Homan said before pausing briefly. During the previous administration, around 2 million so-called 'gotaways' were not apprehended by border patrol agents, Homan argued. 'These 2 million known gotaways scares the hell out of me,' he said, claiming some of that disputed figure could be terrorists. 'I'm convinced something's coming unless we can find them.' Homan, who President Trump has assigned to oversee the implementation of his controversial mass deportation plan, theorised that millions of migrants were going to great lengths to avoid detection. 'Why did 2 million illegal aliens pay more to get away?' Homan told Hannity. 'They could have paid half of what they paid to cross the border, turn themselves into border patrol agents, get released that same day, get a free airline ticket to the city of their choice, get a free hotel room, get three meals a day, plus free medical care and work authorisation.' 'Two million people paid more to get away,' he argued. 'They didn't want to be vetted. They didn't want to be fingerprinted. Why?' 'This scares the hell out of me and I've been doing this for 40 years. It should have scared the hell out of every American what the Biden administration did.' Homan described the 'gotaways' as 'the biggest national security vulnerability this country's ever seen' and predicted US authorities may be searching for them 'for the next ten years.' Homan added, 'even through the legal process, the Biden administration was bringing people unvetted' and 'handing out work visas like they're candy.' Late last month, the US Supreme Court handed President Trump a major victory Friday in his immigration crackdown, giving his administration the green light to revoke the legal status of half a million migrants from four Caribbean and Latin American countries. The decision puts 532,000 people who came from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela to the United States under a two-year humanitarian 'parole' program launched by former president Joe Biden at risk of deportation. And it marked the second time the highest US court has sided with Trump in his aggressive push to deliver on his election pledge to deport millions of non-citizens through a series of policy moves that have prompted a flurry of lawsuits. The administration's struggles with determining exactly who is and is not wanted in the US were made apparent late last week when the president assured Chinese international students in the country that they would be fine amid his crackdown on foreign students. Trump's administration this week said it would specifically target permissions for Chinese students in its latest broadside against US higher education. But when asked what message he would send to Chinese college students in the country, Trump insisted: 'They're going to be OK. It's going to work out fine.' 'We just want to check out the individual students we have. And that's true with all colleges,' he told reporters. The softer tone followed a judge's decision on Thursday to extend a temporary block on Trump's bid to prevent Harvard from enrolling international students. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio previously vowed on Wednesday to 'aggressively' revoke visas to students from China. Rubio has already yanked thousands of visas, largely over students' involvement in activism critical of Israel's offensive in Gaza, but also over minor traffic violations and other infractions.

Channel 10 star Barry Du Bois reveals harrowing moment he was given ‘three months to live'
Channel 10 presenter Barry Du Bois has penned an emotional essay about his ongoing cancer battle, revealing a doctor once told him he had 'three months to live'. The father of two was first diagnosed in 2010 with solitary plasmacytoma, a rare form of blood cancer. That diagnosis later progressed to myeloma in 2017, which is an incurable cancer that affects the immune system and attacks bone marrow. 'I was sitting in a cold, unfamiliar consult room at the hospital, my wife's hand holding mine … then a doctor who had known me for only a few hours looked me in the eye and told me I had three months to live,' he penned in letter for The Gold Coast Bulletin, recalling his earlier diagnosis. It wasn't the first time the presenter has had to deal with medical setbacks. He had previously broken his back after falling 14 metres from a roof, and later went through years of failed IVF treatment with his wife, Leonie, which included a miscarriage and her own cancer diagnosis just two weeks later. He credits all those personal battles to his ongoing cancer fight, continuing to spend as much time with his beloved family as possible. 'When I got my diagnosis – incurable cancer, three months to live – I didn't fall apart … I knew that from leaning into the previous adversities of life I had the resilience to give the fight of my life,' Du Bois said. But that hadn't always been the case. After his wife's miscarriage and cancer diagnosis, Du Bois initially struggled to find a way to go on. 'I avoided conversation and started a continual negative conversation with myself that took me into the darkness … depression is a lonely state and I refused to share my pain. I saw it as a weakness.' But in the end his family helped to pull him through, and he's since used the positive outlook to give him the strength to keep going. Du Bois first appeared on Aussie screens in 2011 as a contestant on The Renovators, before joining Amanda Keller, Dr Chris Brown and Miguel Maestre as a co-host on The Living Room. He's been very vocal about his cancer journey over the last decade, regularly sharing inspiring updates and honest confessions on his social media platforms with fans as he continues to beat his initial devastating prognosis handed to him. 'I was overwhelmed with fear, uncertainty, and the unknown,' he said earlier this year of his diagnosis. 'But through it all, I realised something that I feel is why I am here today: It wasn't going to be cancer that defined me but the way I choose to approach it.'
