Former Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) acting director and Fox News contributor Tom Homan called on Wednesday for the Trump administration to pursue a national law-enforcement operation that would illegal immigrants remaining in the United States after a judge ordered them out of the country.
"We need to do operationally what Congress is failing to do legislatively," Homan said after blasting congressional Democrats for inaction. A national operation would help deter illegal border crossings.
"I ran an operation like that three-and-a-half years ago, and the results were, the border numbers went down significantly," Homan stated.

Anybody know the guy?
Was he good?
He just recently retired. Trump nominated him for full time.

He’s the best!
Solid

Thanks.
I thought this was now a national emergency to get the invasion under control.

He was Acting but senate was in no hurry to confirm him because he is hard line cop so he finally just retired.
That figures.
Glad we added seats to the senate in ‘18.
Sheesh.
We have to start bailing like crazy if we want to get ahead of the flow.
Deportations need to increase 10 fold.
start with the border states. Clean sweep them. Then work north. That way, the ones north that flee south will be better spotted. Now it’s just a see-saw game. Raid so-cal, they go to the high desert for a few days vacation then come back. Need to stop that.
