Trump's Border Czar Proposes Citizen Hotline for Reporting Undocumented Immigrants

Tom Homan suggests a new reporting system to involve Americans in immigration enforcement, raising concerns over racial profiling and resource allocation.

Tom Homan, President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming border czar, has proposed a hotline for citizens to report undocumented immigrants suspected of committing crimes.
Critics note that a similar ICE tip line has existed for over two decades, handling a wide range of crime reports, including human trafficking and drug smuggling.
Supporters see the hotline as a way to raise public awareness and emphasize accountability, while opponents warn it could encourage racial profiling and strain law enforcement resources.
Immigration advocates argue the initiative risks fostering mistrust and discrimination, potentially driving undocumented communities further into the shadows.
Homan's broader plans include mass deportations, worksite raids, and increasing detention capacity, with the administration estimating significant funding needs for these efforts.
