Trump’s Border Czar Confirms Deportations Have ‘Already Started’

The Epoch Times Header

ICE teams are targeting those who have been convicted of a serious crime and are in the country illegally, Tom Homan said.

President Donald Trump’s border czar Tom Homan said Tuesday that U.S. immigration officials have already started carrying out deportations, targeting illegal immigrants who are deemed a threat to public safety.

Homan, a former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), told Fox News on Tuesday that regarding deportation operations, “it already started” and that operations are primarily focused on “public safety threats.”

“ICE teams are out there as of today,” he said, without providing details on where. Homan then made note of leaks to the media about ICE targeting areas in Chicago and suggested that a different plan was initiated.

That includes people who are in the country illegally who have been convicted of a serious crime, he said. He said that anyone who is in the United States illegally has been put on notice.

“We got to go into the neighborhood to find” an individual deemed a public safety threat, Homan said. When immigration officials “find others” who are in the country illegally, they “will be arrested” by ICE officials, he said, suggesting that officials are targeting sanctuary cities with illegal immigrants.

Earlier this week, Homan told ABC News that his team was “reviewing any plans in Chicago because of the leak” after reports in recent days indicated the Trump administration would launch operations in the city before moving on to other major U.S. cities.

“When the president gets sworn in, ICE officers are going to have a new priority of seeking out those who are considered a public safety threat and a national security threat,” Homan said to ABC News before the inauguration.

On Day One of Trump’s administration, the president signed a number of immigration- and border-related executive orders, including ending automatic birthright citizenship, declaring an invasion at the U.S.–Mexico border, and declaring a national emergency at the border.

“All illegal entry will immediately be halted,” Trump said at the Capitol minutes after being inaugurated on Monday. “And we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came.”
