White House Border Czar Tom Homan said mass ICE operations will continue “especially in sanctuary cities.” In an interview with CBS News, Homan acknowledged that “things weren’t perfect” during the immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis but said the agency is not backing down.
Homan stated, “We can have mass deportations, but do it in a smarter way, which we're doing.” He added that after the operation “Things weren’t perfect. We addressed it. We fixed it.”
The comments followed President Trump’s decision to send Homan to Minneapolis to oversee the response to a shooting incident in the city. Homan’s role as Border Czar involves leading immigration enforcement strategies at the White House level.
