Trump Administration to Revive Family Detention and Expand Deportation Efforts

Incoming border czar Tom Homan outlines plans for mass deportations, family detention centers, and legal challenges to existing immigration protections.

President-elect Donald Trump's incoming administration plans to reinstate family detention centers and end 'catch-and-release' policies for migrants, according to border czar Tom Homan.
Homan stated that families with U.S.-born children will face decisions about deportation or separation, with potential use of halfway houses for children who cannot be deported.
The administration aims to carry out what it describes as the largest deportation operation in U.S. history, targeting both undocumented migrants and mixed-status families.
Critics, including human rights advocates and Democratic officials, warn of significant legal challenges, potential harm to children, and public backlash against the policies.
Homan also indicated plans to revive workplace raids, the 'Remain in Mexico' policy for asylum seekers, and expand detention facilities, with no fixed cost limit for the operations.
