Trump tabbed Homan to serve as “border czar” shortly after his re-election to oversee the largest deportation in U.S. history.
Under Trump’s second term, Homan announced the U.S. Army would be used to round up and deport the “worst of the worst” illegal migrants in a major crackdown.
According to reports, the plan is to focus on criminals first, followed by legal migrants, including asylum seekers and those granted humanitarian parole under Biden.
Homan also stated he would verify asylum seekers’ status and target anyone harboring criminal migrants while clarifying there are no plans to separate families – though he suggested it could occur.
The immigration official vowed to deport migrants who don’t qualify for asylum, defending Trump’s plan as a “targeted operation” based on detailed investigations. He also promised to revive the “Remain in Mexico” policy, close the southern border, and continue building the border wall.
