From The Hill: White House border czar Tom Homan said on Wednesday that the Trump administration is considering possible changes to its immigration enforcement policy as it relates to farm and hospitality workers.
In an interview on NewsNation’s “Cuomo,” Homan said people in the White House are talking about various policy solutions and he expects he could see an announcement sometime soon.
“I know the Department of Homeland Security, along with the Department of Labor, and the Department of Agriculture are talking about policy changes now,” Homan said. “I mean, the president’s committed: there will be no amnesty, but there’s a lot of smart minds at the White House talking about, is there something for farm workers? Is there something for hospitality?”
“So, we’ll see what comes out of it,” he added. “But people are talking about: is there something that can be done? And I know they’re talking now. And I expect something will come out soon, but we’ll see what goes on.”
Homan said that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will act on any policy the president pursues.
“I don’t want to get ahead of the president on what I think is coming, or if something’s even coming, but I know people are talking,” Homan said.
“I’m not going to get ahead of the president, what that decision would be.”
“I can tell you this: I worked for six presidents,” he continued. “My job is to operate within the framework provided me by the administration.
“So if the president comes up with a policy and says, ‘Okay, here’s what we’re going to do with farm workers,’ then ICE will abide by that policy.”
