- A viral post falsely claimed that New York City Mayor’s wife threatened to have “border czar” Tom Homan disappear if he came to New York.
Did “border czar” Tom Homan say that Rama Duwaji, the wife of the New York City mayor, had threatened to have him “disappear” if he came to New York? No, that’s not true: The story originated from a network of pages with satire labels. No credible media outlet reported the such a story.
The claim appeared in a post (archived here and here) published on X by @mcafeenew on August 16, 2026. It read:
🚨TOM HOMAN JUST WARNED MARA JUWANI: ‘SHE’S THREATENING A FEDERAL OFFICER — I’LL BE AT LAGUARDIA ON SATURDAY!’ 🔗 t.me/+uT8Yg-ELrtJjM… New York’s First Lady just picked a fight with the wrong man. Border Czar Tom Homan says he’s “not amused” with Zohran Mamdani’s wife and her threats to have him ‘disappear.’ ‘She’s threatening a federal officer,’ Homan said. ‘She’s lucky I don’t head down to her mosque and arrest her myself.’ The comments came after Mara Juwani told her followers that if Tom Homan ever came to New York, he’d be ‘disappeared’ like he never existed at all. Homan’s response was pure steel: ‘I’ll be there on Saturday. She can meet me at LaGuardia.’ The communist First Lady just found out federal law enforcement doesn’t scare easily.
