Trump’s new border czar Tom Homan details priorities for ‘mass deportation operation’
SUMMARY
President Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, is preparing a large-scale deportation plan to address illegal immigration and national security concerns. Homan, a former ICE acting director, reiterated the necessity of a "mass deportation operation" to enforce immigration laws and counter the historic levels of illegal crossings recorded during President Joe Biden’s administration. Homan outlined key priorities, including the removal of individuals posing public safety or national security threats, fugitives defying removal orders, and those on the federal Terrorist Watch List. He highlighted the record number of suspected terrorists entering the U.S. and warned that border-related threats rival those faced after 9/11. Homan noted the U.S. military would assist with logistics and support, while federal agents handle arrests and enforcement. He also urged illegals to voluntarily return home, warning of long-term penalties for those forcibly deported. “Leave on your own,” Homan advised.
