According to Trump's 'border czar' Tom Homan, every undocumented immigrant should worry they could be arrested at any time, even if they have no criminal record.
Mike Levine and Meghan MistryAccording to Trump's" border czar " Tom Homan , every undocumented immigrant should worry they could be arrested at any time.For the first time in U.S. history, military aircraft were used this past week to deport scores of undocumented migrants from the United States. Middle schools, Trump administration officials say, are now seen as places to target for immigration enforcement operations.
According to estimates released by House Republicans last year, based on government data, hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants in the country are convicted criminals or have charges pending against them. Government statistics indicate that in the past four years, hundreds of migrants were caught along the southern border with names matching known or suspected terrorists on a government watchlist.
"Sanctuary cities lock us out of the jails," said Homan, who led ICE as acting director in Trump's first administration. He said that as they prioritize national security threats and public safety threats, ICE officers might have to even go into schools because "many" members of gangs tied to South and Central America, such as MS-13, are between 14 and 17 years old.
Homan said anyone already in the country unlawfully "should leave," and those looking to claim asylum should "do it the legal way."
