During the 2024 campaign, former president and candidate Donald J. Trump promised mass deportation for millions on undocumented migrants in the United States. It appears that the campaign pledges are beginning to take hold.
Last week, President-elect Trump named Thomas Homan as the “Border Tsar.” Homan, a former police officer and immigration official who previously served during the Obama administration and the first Trump administration as Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director has made it clear that mass deportation will be effectively carried out.
“We have a mandate. I think the American people just gave President Trump a mandate. That’s why he’s elected – to secure the border, save lives, and deport people, especially national security threats and public safety threats,” said Homan.
Homan commented that the immediate focus will be those in the country illegally with criminal convictions or charges.
“It’s not going to be a massive sweep of neighborhoods. It’s not going to be a massive raid. It’s going to be targeted enforcement operations,” Homan commented of the upcoming policy once Trump is sworn in as the 47th President on January 20, 2025.
Homan warned however that anybody who is in the United States illegally is on the table. “If you’re in the country illegally, you’ve got a problem.”
Homan argues that millions of people entered the United States illegally by way of the U.S.- Mexico border and millions more entered legally but have overstayed accruing unlawful status. Homan further commented that many individuals who are in the country illegally may likely leave on their own. As for how mass deportation will be enforced, Homan said it will depend on available resources.
“It depends on resources, depends on money. But I guarantee you that President Trump means what he says and there will be a green light to enforce our laws and secure the border. And that’s going to require a mass deportation operation.”
Homan’s appointment comes days after President Biden’s Parole-in-Place program, which would have provided certain illegal immigrants with lawful permanent resident status, was struck down by a federal judge .
Enterline and Partners strongly advises those who are in the United States illegally to immediately seek legal representation.
