New York Times reference to firing of Sally Yates
editThe inclusion of the New York Times article, at present note no 8, on the firing of acting Attorney General Sally Yates, and the mysterious incorporation into the note of a quotation from it referring to Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre should likely be removed, as it seems not to refer at all to Homans, and the quotation is irrelevant to this Wikipedia entry.

- Neither can I see any reason not to just delete the NYT 1/30/2017 Lichtblau, et al. reference. It isn't pertinent and adds nothing to the paragraph to which it's attached. Rt3368 (talk) 16:56, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
Misleading interpretation of cited article
editIn the final article of this page, we find the following assertion:
> He stated that despite committing a crime by entering the country illegally, illegal immigrants do not commit more crimes than the rest of the population in the U.S.
However, in the Business Insider article that is cited for this assertion, we find this:
> "Did I say aliens commit more crimes than US citizens? I didn't say that," Homan told reporters at an off-camera briefing. "I'm saying, number one, they're in the country illegally. They already committed one crime by entering the country illegally. But when they commit a crime against a citizen of this country, they draw our attention."
This is intentionally misleading. He did not make any such statement and the current wording of this Wikipedia article suggests an entirely different meaning. I hate to say it, but this sounds like politically-charged vandalism. I have added a Failed verification tag to this sentence.

Within the Trump administration, he was among the most strident proponents of separating children from their parents as a means of deterring illegal entry into the country
is adequately sourced and should be restored
the reference to "Mr. Homan" is a bit telling

- if the IP editor or others do not respond with a reasonable explanation within 48 hours, I will interpret the removal as a politically motivated drive-by and restore it, as the subject is a potential candidate for a very controversial government position soibangla (talk) 06:41, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
