From NBC News: White House “border czar” Tom Homan said Thursday that the Trump administration will continue to conduct immigration raids at worksites, including farms and hotels but that criminals will be prioritized.
Speaking to reporters, he clarified U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s policy at worksites after the Department of Homeland Security said this week it was reversing recent guidance that called for a pause on operations at those places.
“The message is clear now that we’re going to continue doing worksite enforcement operations, even on farms and hotels, but based on a prioritized basis. Criminals come first,” Homan said.
Homan said resources would be focused on sanctuary cities because “they knowingly release public safety threats, illegal aliens to the community every day.”
In an interview with Fox Business on Thursday, Homan said worksite enforcement operations are “based on criminal information, criminal investigations such as forced labor, such as trafficking and such as … tax fraud and money laundering.”
