President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to carry out the nation’s largest deportation operation, removing more illegal immigrants from the United States than any of his predecessors.
To oversee the effort, Trump tapped former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement leader Tom Homan as his administration’s “border czar.”
Homan, soon-to-be the deporter in chief, gave a new glimpse into what to expect across the country as ICE officers, along with possible backup from retired police and military personnel, move to carry out the operation come Jan. 20.
Homan has already received threats against his life and his family’s over the past few days, he said, but stood by the incoming Trump administration’s posture and plan.
“As far as the people want to push back on deporting these people, what is the option? You have a right to claim asylum. You have a right to see a judge, and we make that happen, but at the end of that due process, when the judge says, ‘You must go home,’ then we have to take them home because if we’re not, what the hell are we doing?” Homan told Fox & Friends on Monday.
