The Trump admin’s illegal immigrant deportations have begun. But there’s more to be done.
And Trump’s border czar just went on Newsmax to break this huge mass deportation news.
ICE Intensifies Deportation Efforts Under New Strategy, Says Border Czar Tom Homan
In a recent interview with Newsmax host Rob Schmitt, Tom Homan, the former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official, discussed how the current administration has ramped up its efforts to deport illegal immigrants. Homan emphasized that the current deportation operations are progressing at a pace three times faster than those seen during the previous administration, thanks to a more targeted and organized strategy.
Speaking on Rob Schmitt Tonight, Homan explained that the recent focus on deportations involves the creation of specialized enforcement packages designed to better identify and apprehend individuals who are in the country illegally. This strategy, according to Homan, goes beyond the actions of ICE alone.
“We’ve got all the government involved now,” Homan said. “Not just ICE, but we also have the DEA, FBI, and ATF working together. Secretary Noem has been instrumental in putting pressure on the task force, and we’re working closely to ensure success. We’re coordinating efforts with a focus on increasing targeting. We want to create target packages because people need to understand that we don’t just go out on the streets and look for people who are different from us.”
This approach highlights a shift from random enforcement to more strategic operations aimed at individuals who pose specific risks, such as those with criminal backgrounds or national security concerns. Homan’s collaboration with key government officials, such as Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, are all a part of this renewed push for coordinated action to tackle illegal immigration more efficiently.
Homan elaborated on the new tactics, noting that for every individual targeted for arrest, ICE now prepares a comprehensive “target package.” These packages help agents pinpoint the whereabouts of the person in question, whether they are at home or working. This targeted approach, he noted, is vital to improving the precision and effectiveness of enforcement efforts.
“We’ve just bought out a couple of huge contracts to increase our ability to produce more target packages,” Homan added. “With this, we’re also expanding the number of teams involved in these operations. So, as a result, you’ll see a significant increase in arrests.”
The enhanced deportation strategy is necessary to securing the U.S. southern border and addressing illegal immigration, according to the Trump White House. In fact, President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign has already laid out an ambitious plan to further intensify deportations, particularly targeting criminal illegal immigrants. Under Trump’s administration, ICE had already arrested and deported hundreds of individuals linked to serious crimes such as terrorism, s*xual assault, and aggravated assault.
Trump’s executive orders, particularly those signed on his first day in office, signaled a hardline approach to immigration. His orders declared a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border, deploying additional resources to deal with the migrant crisis that intensified under fomer President Joe Biden’s tenure. These moves resulted in ICE successfully arresting numerous illegal immigrants with extensive criminal histories, including a gang member in Boston with 17 prior convictions.
Tom Homan & Trump Administration Cracking Down On Federal Officials Standing In The Way Of Lawful Deportations
Most recently, the Trump administration has put so-called “sanctuary” cities in their sights, concerned that radical far-Left Democrats are intentionally harboring violent criminals who are in the United States illegally. This puts the greater good and public safety at risk, according to the Trump administration’s statements provided to the media in recent press conferences.
In a recent back-and-forth, Tom Homan said he would be referring far-Left Democrat Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to the Department of Justice for possibly aiding illegal immigrants in evading the federal government agent’s efforts to deport them. He said on Fox News that the Trump administration is “done” with anyone trying to get in the way of law and order.
🚨 HOLY SHT!!
Border Czar Tom Homan just said he has referred Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to the DOJ for potential PROSECUTION after she potentially impeded law enforcement from finding illegal aliens.
