This includes several actions on border policy, including designating the Cartels as foreign terrorists and revoking several Biden EOs on the border, which allowed unchecked illegal immigration. Now, on day two of his second term, Trump’s Border Czar, Tom Homan, has announced that the mass deportation efforts and illegal alien raids are underway “effective today.”
The Gateway Pundit reported on Sunday that Tom Homan said the immigration raids on sanctuary cities, including Chicago and New York, may be placed on pause after details about the plan were leaked to the media.
Roberts: Based on your initial schedule, today, roundups of criminal illegal aliens in the process of deporting them would begin. That seems to have been put on hold for a little while. When can we expect that to happen? Where will it begin?
Homan: No, it’s started ICE teams are out there as of today. We gave them the direction to prioritize public safety threats that we're looking for, so we've been working on the target list. There was some discussion about Chicago because a operational plan was released, so we got to look at and reevaluate, does this raise officer safety concerns? And it does, but we've addressed that, and teams are out there effective today.
