Acting U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Benjamine Huffman issued a directive Monday allowing federal agents to arrest illegal immigrants at churches and schools, reversing a policy implemented by the Biden administration. Tom Homan, President Donald Trump’s border czar, said ICE officials have already begun deporting non-citizens and warned sanctuary cities that continue to harbor them. He emphasized that ICE teams will prioritize public safety threats and individuals convicted or arrested for serious crimes.

"The Trump Administration will not tie the hands of our brave law enforcement, and instead trusts them to use common sense," the spokesperson added. “ICE teams are out there as of today,” Homan said. “We gave them the direction to prioritize public safety threats, that’s what we’re looking for.” “Let me be clear,” he added. “It’s not only public safety threats that will be arrested because in a sanctuary city, we’re not allowed to get that public safety threat in a jail, which means we gotta go into the neighborhood and find him.”
Homan also described Trump’s executive orders on immigration, such as one ending birthright citizenship for illegal migrants, as “game changers.”
