Trump Border Czar Promises Quick Action On Immigration, Illegal Migrants

Tom Homan, a veteran Homeland Security official who has been appointed “border czar” by President-elect Donald Trump, said during a weekend interview he and the 47th commander-in-chief plan to hit the ground running on the issues of enhancing security and deporting those in the country illegally.

“Look, we’re not waiting. I’ve already been to the border several times, met with Gov. [Greg] Abbott; I met with the National Sheriffs’ Association, what they can do for us,” Homan began.

“I’ve talked to the foreign minister of Canada, and I’ve been out to Arizona talking to the of sheriffs out there. So we’re not waiting for January 20th. We’re going to try to secure the border as quick as we can, and we’ve already started working on those plans,” he continued.

Host David Asman then noted: “Now, you may have gotten the attention of our neighbors north and south, but you still haven’t gotten the full attention of a lot of the sanctuary cities and states in the United States. We just had a recent example of it with The Bronx — excuse me, the Brooklyn DA not dealing with the detaining order from [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] for this horrific crime that took place last Sunday where a woman was burnt to death by, allegedly by an illegal alien who’s now the suspect in the case. ICE put a detainer on him, and it wasn’t accepted by the Brooklyn DA. What’s going on with that?”

“I had a meeting with[New York City] Mayor [Eric] Adams a few weeks ago. He said he wants to work with us on public safety threats,” Homan responded. “He’s committed to doing that. He’s also willing to help us find over 300,000 missing children, many are in New York City.

“But you know, he was very honest when he was saying he’s got a city council he needs to deal with, and he’s going to do what he can through executive order,” Homan added. “But I’m hoping he’s a man of his word and he’s going to push for the actions that we discussed that day. Any elected official, even a district attorney, anybody in that city, you should want to remove public safety threats from your communities.”

WATCH:

Last week, Homan warned that many illegal immigrants who have never been arrested before will be caught up in deportation sweeps.

During a phone interview with the Washington Examiner, Homan provided some insight into how the Trump administration will arrest, detain, and deport hundreds of thousands or even millions of illegal immigrants living in the United States.

Homan said that immigrants whose only crime was coming into the country illegally should be sent back to their home country, even if they are just living with or related to someone who has an arrest warrant out for them.

“In sanctuary cities, expect a lot of collateral arrests. I mean, not priority criminal arrests. We can’t get the bad guy in jail. That means we have to go into the communities and find them, and there may be others. We expect a lot of collateral arrests,” the veteran border czar added.

The federal office that enforces immigration laws in the U.S. moves illegal immigrants from local and state police jails to federal custody. However, sanctuary cities and states like California, Illinois, and New York do not cooperate with ICE.

Sanctuary towns and states across the country, which Democrats mostly run, say it is not their job to work for the federal government or work with federal law enforcement partners.

For ICE, it means they have to arrest people at their homes, places of work, or anywhere else. Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance have said they will start by arresting people with criminal records and the 1.4 million people who have been told by a judge to be deported but have not been sent back to their home country.

“There’s over 700,000 criminal aliens with criminal convictions,” Homan said.
