ICE Is Back in Business! Homan Declares That Deportation Operation Has Already Begun.
PJ Media ^ | January 21, 2025 | Matt Margolis

The wheels of justice are turning again as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has resumed its enforcement of immigration laws with vigor.

...

ICE raids have already begun.

“Based on your initial schedule that today, roundups of criminal, illegal aliens in the process of deporting them would begin,” Roberts began. “It seems to have been put on hold for a little while. When can we expect that to happen? Where will it begin?”

“No, it started,” Homan clarified. “All these teams are out there as of today. We gave them the direction to prioritize public safety threats that we're looking for. So we've been working on the target list.”

Homan also appeared on CNN to talk about the efforts to deport illegals and told CNN’s Dana Bash that after years of being hamstrung, ICE officers are back to doing their job.

“ICE is out there enforcing the law today,” Homan said. He emphasized that their primary focus is on public safety threats. “That will be our priority right out of the gate.”

Homan made it clear that these operations are anything but random. “I wouldn’t call them raids,” he said. “They’re targeted enforcement operations. They know exactly who they’re looking for... These are well-planned operations. They’re well-investigated.”

...

Homan also highlighted a significant challenge that these sanctuary cities pose. In these jurisdictions, local jails refuse to cooperate with ICE, forcing officers to track down dangerous individuals in neighborhoods instead of the safer confines of a jail.

“It’s safer for the community, safer for the officers, and safer for the alien,” Homan explained. “But when you release a public safety threat from a sanctuary jail and won’t give us access to them, that means we’ve got to go to the neighborhood to find them — and we will find them.”

I hope they get that Davy Hogg-looking weasel hiding in the pulpit at the National Cathedral.

There’s a Mexican kid at a diner my wife and I eat at.

He’s the bus boy and always brings us extra cole slaw, pickles and bread because he knows we like them before the meal :)

I throw him 5 bucks.

He seems like a good kid and has probably been here a while. Maybe he’s 24 or 25.

I hope he saved as much as he could so that when he is deported, he will have something to work with back in Mexico.

I’m ASSUMING he’s an illegal...it’s a pretty good assumption.

He came illegally. The law doesn’t say “if you come in illegally and are a good worker and cause no trouble then it is no longer a crime”

There’s guys that have committed crimes and were on the run for 20 years without committing another. They are still arrested when they are caught.

The crime still counts.

Exceptions can’t be made.

I do hope things work out for him. He and his ilk need to work on making THEIR country better.

Running from it isn’t a long term answer.

“It’s safer for the community, safer for the officers, and safer for the alien,”

…finally! “Alien”!

Our local pharmacy has a money machine. Friday afternoons will find a steady string of men sending money back home to Mexico to their families. I think Trump wants to tax that money before it leaves our economy. But it still goes to Mexico.

““if you come in illegally and are a good worker and cause no trouble then it is no longer a crime”

Ok, I see you’ve been tricked/played by the MSM and Leftists. Congratulations.

As recently as yesterday Trump said criminal illegals are to be deported. Not law-abiding workers.

You can’t read or at least read full sentences so it is worthless to respond to someone such as yourself.

Have a good one.

Employers need a SSI# to pay them and report to the IRS. How is this crewing up everything including the voter rolls?

It’s not enough to just simply deport them. There needs to be a strong deterrence. They need to lose an appendage (or two) to prevent them from ever trying to come back. /spit

You wrote this:

“He came illegally. The law doesn’t say “if you come in illegally and are a good worker and cause no trouble then it is no longer a crime”...

“The crime still counts.”

“Exceptions can’t be made.”

Which is contrary to what Trump said.

A Leftist-scare-monger would would make such claims.

It’s simple Demagoguery, like your busboy story.

Imo you’re subversive and a troll account

Just in case you didn’t know entering the US illegally is a crime as in a felony. All illegals are criminals. They all need to leave.

Trump said they’re getting rid of the illegals who commit other crimes first. Then they’re going after the other 20 million illegals. They all need to go. Deal with it!
