Tom Homan, President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming border czar, announced plans for major immigration raids across the country shortly after Trump takes office.
In a Friday interview with Fox News’ Jesse Watters, Homan confirmed the raids, including potential operations in Chicago next week.
“There’s going to be a big raid all across the country,” Homan said. “Chicago is just one of many places. We got 24 field offices across the country. On Tuesday, ICE is finally going to go out and do their job. We’re going to take the handcuffs off ICE and let them go arrest criminal aliens. That’s what’s going to happen.”
When asked what ICE has been doing for the last four years, Homan said: “They haven’t been able to do much because Secretary Mayorkas had new ICE priorities. The secretary of Homeland Security has told ICE you can’t arrest an illegal alien if he’s just here illegally. He’s got to be convicted of a serious crime or be a national security threat. He told immigration officers not to enforce immigration law.”
Tom Homan just said the Trump administration is considering bringing back DNA testing while detaining “families” because it’s likely 1/3 of them aren’t families after all, as was proven in El Paso during the first administration.pic.twitter.com/N4UeUkYdZH
