As President-elect Donald Trump’s team plans mass deportations, incoming border czar Tom Homan warns that many illegal immigrants without criminal records may be caught up. He stated, “In sanctuary cities, expect a lot of collateral arrests.” Sanctuary cities, largely Democrat-run, do not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, forcing ICE to make arrests in homes and workplaces.
Trump plans to target those with criminal records and 1.4 million people under deportation orders. Homan noted, “There’s over 700,000 criminal aliens with convictions.” Preparations for nationwide operations are underway, with ICE expected to begin arrests immediately after Trump takes office.
