Trump administration will end Minnesota immigration operation: Homan

 

... “We have greatly reduced the number of targets for enforcement action” in the Twin Cities region as a result of the influx of thousands of officers from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection agencies, Homan said at a press conference. ...

 

 

Border Czar Tom Homan is so full of shit

 Tom Homan’s Bid for Minnesota Reset Begins With Series of Demands

MINNEAPOLIS—Tom Homan, the White House border czar, arrived here with a series of demands for Minnesota’s Democratic leaders. Topping the list: an agreement from them to turn over more immigrants from the state’s prisons and jails, people familiar with the matter said. ... Walz has said the premise of the demand is false. “They’re taking credit for people that we’ve had in jail for a long time,” he told reporters Sunday. “We always hand them over.”

Oh, so that's why Border Patrol was in front of Glam Doll Donuts on Saturday. They were just looking for inmates.

 

 

Are they borrowing the $50k from Tom Homan?

So Trump's border czar took a bribe last fall in an FBI sting operation, a paper bag with $50k cash in it

 

 The Trump Department of Injustice dropped the case.

So where's the money then? In Bob Menendez' closet? 

 

 

Trump appointment of seasoned former acting ICE director Thomas Homan as Border Czar is in stark contrast to Biden appointment of Harris

This is a serious appointment, unlike Biden's, whose policy was to flood the country with illegals under a novel interpretation of asylum.

In an interview on Fox News Channel's "Sunday Morning Futures," Homan said the military wouldn't be rounding up and arresting immigrants in the country illegally and that ICE would move to implement Trump's plans in a "humane manner."

"It's going to be a well-targeted, planned operation conducted by the men of ICE. The men and women of ICE do this daily. They're good at it," he said. "When we go out there, we're going to know who we're looking for. We most likely know where they're going to be, and it's going to be done in a humane manner." ...

"If you're here illegally, you better be looking over your shoulder."

He also said: "You've got my word. Trump comes back in January, I'll be in his heels coming back, and I will run the biggest deportation operation this country's ever seen."

Reported here by CBS.

By delegating this task to Homan, Trump achieves a measure of freedom to devote himself to advancing his other objectives through the Congress.

The big if in all this is, whether illegal asylees with a piece of paper showing they have a court date may legally remain in the US.

I can well imagine a liberal federal judge intervening to stop deportations of such people, forcing the issue to be litigated. This could tie up deportations for years.

Don't count on this going the way you think it will go because Trump appointed a tough guy.

"Publicizing a future law enforcement operation is unheard of at ICE"

Trump vows removal of ‘millions of illegal aliens’ starting next week:

Large-scale ICE enforcement operations are typically kept secret to avoid tipping off targets. In 2018, Trump and other senior officials threatened the mayor of Oakland, California, with criminal prosecution for alerting city residents that immigration raids were in the works. ...

Publicizing a future law enforcement operation is unheard of at ICE. Trump administration officials blasted Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf last year for warning immigrants about an impending raid, saying she endangered agents’ safety.

“The Oakland mayor’s decision to publicize her suspicions about ICE operations further increased that risk for my officers and alerted criminal aliens - making clear that this reckless decision was based on her political agenda with the very federal laws that ICE is sworn to uphold,” then-ICE deputy director Thomas Homan said at the time.
