ICE Enforcement Strategy Announced
In a recent development that has caught the attention of both supporters and critics of the current administration’s immigration policies, Tom Homan, serving as the Trump administration’s “Border Czar,” has made a significant announcement regarding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations. Homan revealed that ICE officials have received instructions to commence arrests of individuals who are in the United States illegally.
“Border czar” Tom Homan told a news outlet that ICE officials have been instructed to begin arresting “those here illegally”.
And we’ve seen a lot of those arrests already.
The announcement has reignited discussions about ICE’s operational boundaries, particularly concerning sensitive locations such as schools, churches, and hospitals. In a recent interview on CNN’s “The Source,” host Kaitlan Collins pressed Homan on this issue, questioning whether ICE would target illegal aliens in these community spaces.
Homan’s response aimed to clarify ICE’s priorities while maintaining a firm stance on enforcement. He stated that there should be no “chilling effect” unless the individuals in question are terrorists or pose public safety threats. However, he also emphasized that being in the country illegally is indeed a crime, and laws will be enforced accordingly.
Why do the media types always seem to forget that basic fact?
The potential impact of these enforcement strategies on families, particularly those with mixed immigration statuses, has been a point of contention. Collins voiced concerns about the effects of ICE operations on parents who are in the country illegally, highlighting the complex human element of immigration enforcement.
Homan, however, remained steadfast in his position, reiterating that national security and public safety threats will not have safe havens in the United States.
We finally have someone who gets it in charge of our border.
Collins should know better. Do you think she’s being deliberately misleading, or she genuinely believes her own rubbish?
