Tom Homan reacted to some comments made by opponents of the Trump administration pointing out that immigrant deportations are falling far below projections released last year and anticipated the acceleration of these on a massive level.
“For those who say that ‘President Trump is weakening on mass deportations’, you have no idea what you are talking about. They haven’t seen anything yet. This is going to be a good year. “Massive deportations are coming,” he indicated. during his speech at the Border Security Expo held in Phoenix, Arizona.
The border czar even mentioned having exchanged views early in the morning with Markwayne Mullin, Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS), to agree on how the immigration strategy will be implemented in the coming months.
Unlike the work carried out by Kristi Noem at the head of the federal agency, the Oklahoma Republican has not stopped working, but his operations are carried out with greater planning and less public exposure, largely to avoid new disputes with citizens who oppose the detention of foreigners lacking appropriate status.
Mullin’s approach is to try to take away much of the tension experienced months ago in cities like Chicago, Minneapolis and Los Angeles.
However, Homan’s objective remains the same, that threats to public safety and crime appear as a priority.
“I don’t care how long you’ve been here; if you entered this country illegally, you cheated. You cheated the system.
“You will see an increase in indirect arrests and more agents in your neighborhoods, because you forced us to reach this situation,” he expressed as a warning notice. aimed at immigrants who have not been able to legalize their stay in the United States for years.
Although he acknowledged that between 35% and 40% of immigrants detained by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service (ICE) during Trump’s second term have no criminal record, Homan believes that it is the only way to “send a message to the entire world” pointing towards the end of tolerance of entering without the documentation due to the United States.
“I just don’t care what people think of me. I never have and never will,” the border czar said.
