Border czar Tom Homan warned that the daily number of deportations will increase in the coming weeks as President Trump’s administration begins to expand its operations.
Made by man the comment during an appearance Sunday on ABC News’ “This Week” with anchor Martha Raddatz. The border chief says the administration is currently only targeting violent illegal aliens, but that will soon change.
“You’re going to see the numbers go up steadily, the number of arrests across the country as we open up,” Homan said. “Right now, it’s focusing on threats to public safety, threats to national security. That’s a smaller population. So we’re going to do that on a priority basis. That’s President Trump’s promise. But as if this opening opens, there will be more arrests at the national level.”
“When you talk about opening up, the estimates of those who have been convicted or arrested in the past are anywhere from 700,000 to over a million. So after you do that, you’re going after everyone in are they illegal?” asked Raddatz.

“If you’re in the country illegally, you’re on the table because it’s not okay, you know, to violate the laws of this country. You have to remember that every time you enter this country illegally, you’ve violated a crime The Title Eight, United States Code 1325, is a crime,” Homan responded.

“So if you’re in a country illegally, you’ve got a problem. And that’s why I hope that those who are in the country illegally, who haven’t been ordered to be removed by the federal judge, have to leave,” has added

The statement comes after Homan warned U.S. sanctuary cities that their policies will not prevent deportations and will instead put communities, federal agents and illegal aliens at risk.
Sanctuary cities are defined by a policy of not turning illegal aliens over to federal authorities when they are apprehended. Aliens are then usually released back into the community.
Homan urged sanctuary city officials to help with the “Fox & Friends” effort last week. “Work with us, because you have forced us into the community.”
He continued, “Here’s what’s going to happen. We’re going to find the bad guy, but when we find him, he’s going to be with others, others who may not be a criminal priority. But guess what? If they’re in the U.S. illegally, they’re going to be arrested, too.” .

“I want to save lives. A secure border saves lives,” Homan said. “When President Trump closes this border, fewer women and children will be trafficked in this country, fewer foreigners will die making that journey. Under President Biden, we’ve had a record number of people die crossing this border (already) Increasing of 600% of sex trafficking”.
