Trump Border Czar Plans Weekly Briefings on Deportation Efforts

Incoming border czar Tom Homan outlines mass deportation strategy, emphasizing transparency and operational challenges.

Tom Homan, President-elect Donald Trump's incoming border czar, has proposed weekly White House press briefings to update the public on migrant arrests and deportations.
Homan emphasized transparency in carrying out what he described as the largest deportation operation in U.S. history, pledging to enforce immigration laws without apology.
The deportation plan prioritizes removing migrants with criminal convictions or outstanding deportation orders, with an estimated 1.3 million such cases currently pending.
Homan highlighted logistical challenges, including the need for additional detention facilities and securing agreements with third countries to accept deportees whose home nations refuse repatriation.
He has requested $86 billion from Congress to fund detention beds and operational expenses, urging lawmakers to act quickly to support the initiative.
