Trump's Border Czar Plans Mass Deportations, Sparks Divisions in Chicago and New York
Tom Homan pledges aggressive immigration enforcement, while New York City Mayor Eric Adams signals potential cooperation on targeting violent offenders.
- Tom Homan, President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming border czar, announced mass deportation plans starting with sanctuary cities like Chicago, citing local leaders' resistance to federal immigration policies.
- Homan criticized Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, urging them to cooperate or step aside, while Pritzker pledged legal action against what he called 'illegal' proposals.
- New York City Mayor Eric Adams held a meeting with Homan, expressing alignment on targeting violent offenders but maintaining the city's support for law-abiding immigrants and social services.
- Adams' evolving stance on immigration enforcement has drawn criticism from both progressives and immigrant advocates, with some accusing him of aligning too closely with Trump’s hardline policies.
- Experts and critics argue that Trump’s promise to deport over 12 million undocumented immigrants faces significant legal, financial, and logistical challenges, making such a scale of enforcement unlikely.
