Trump Administration Prepares for Largest Deportation Operation in U.S. History

Incoming border czar Tom Homan outlines plans to target public safety threats and undocumented immigrants while facing logistical and diplomatic challenges.

Tom Homan, President-elect Trump's incoming border czar, has promised the most extensive deportation operation in U.S. history, focusing on public safety threats and undocumented immigrants already in the country.
Homan criticized the Biden administration's deportation statistics, stating that most deportations under Biden were border arrests rather than interior enforcement operations.
The Trump administration plans to prioritize deporting individuals with criminal records or posing national security risks, but specific logistical details remain unclear.
Homan emphasized the need for cooperation with foreign governments, including Venezuela and Mexico, to facilitate deportations, though challenges persist with countries refusing to accept deportees.
Sanctuary cities were criticized for limiting ICE's access to local jails, which Homan claims increases risks for communities and complicates enforcement efforts.
