Since returning to power, President Trump has issued executive orders targeting undocumented immigrants in the U.S. One order enforces the deportation of everyone without proper documentation. Former ICE director Tom Homan, now Trump’s “border czar,” stated, “If you’re in the country illegally, you’re on the table.” He explained that enforcement would start with public safety and national security threats but would expand nationwide, increasing arrests.
Trump’s actions aim to send a clear message: “Our border’s closed.” The military has been deployed to assist at the Mexican border. Critics of Biden’s administration claim it allowed “millions of illegal aliens” into the U.S., endangering security and burdening taxpayers. An executive order asserts many undocumented immigrants commit crimes or engage in espionage and terrorism. Homan added, “Those in the country illegally should leave” if they have not been ordered removed by a judge.
