Border czar Tom Homan said Tuesday that ICE agents are already being deployed across the U.S. to engage in a mass deportation operation.
Border czar Tom Homan on Tuesday said that the mass deportation operation has already started, as the Trump administration looks to make good on promises to tackle the border crisis and crack down against illegal immigration. 'No, it started teams are out there as of today,' Homan said on 'America’s Newsroom.' 'We gave them direction to prioritize public safety threats that we're looking for. We've been working up the target list.
There was some discussion about Chicago because the specific operational plan was released. So we had to look at and reevaluate, ‘Does this raise officer safety concerns?’ And it does. But we've addressed that and teams are out there, effective today,' he said. As for who will be targeted in the operation, Homan said that the priority are public safety threats, but he has said repeatedly that no-one is 'off the table' when it comes to arrests if they’re in the U.S. illegally.
Going forward, law enforcement officers should continue to use that discretion along with a healthy dose of common sense,' the new memo said. 'It is not necessary, however, for the head of the agency to create bright line rules regarding where our immigration laws are permitted to be enforced.'
