Tom Homan considers citizen hotline for reporting suspected illegal alien criminals

President-elect Donald Trump's incoming border czar, Tom Homan, stated that the administration is considering establishing a citizen hotline for reporting illegal aliens suspected of committing additional crimes within the United States.

Homan told NBC News on Thursday that he wants to empower the American public to assist in Trump's mass deportation plan.

"I want a place where American citizens can call and report," Homan said. "We need to take care of the American people. We need to make sure they have an outlet to help report child traffickers, forced labor traffickers. We want to give them an opportunity to be a part of the fix."

Last week, Homan stated that he wants the administration to hold weekly press briefings to update the American public about its deportation progress.

"There needs to be a weekly White House press briefing on exactly who we're arresting and who we're saving, who we are putting in jail, who we are deporting, so the American people know we're true to our word," he said.

During his interview with NBC News, Homan again stressed the need for transparency..............

I'm of two minds about this.  While making it easy for citizens who in good faith want to report what they suspect is human trafficking or slavery would be a good thing, this has the potential to be used as an analogue so "SWATing" against anyone someone don't like who "looks foreign" or talks with an accent.

I thought about your later point as well.  Also confronting someone whom you suspect is an ILLEGAL could turn violent. The best would be to set up hotlines to ICE and let them investigate.

These days... if they're speaking Espanol... they're almost certainly illegal.

Call that discriminatory.
Call it whatever you wish.
I couldn't care less.

Incoming border czar Tom Homan proposes hotline for reporting criminal migrants, vows to shut down Darien Gap

Tom Homan, Trump's pick for immigration enforcement, proposed a hotline allowing citizens to report undocumented migrants involved in crimes like human trafficking and forced labor, aiming to enhance public safety and national security.

The administration prioritizes deporting undocumented migrants with criminal records, addressing what Homan calls a crisis at the southern border, and preventing violence against American citizens.

Homan plans to close the Darien Gap, a dangerous smuggling route in Panama used by over 530,000 migrants last year, to curb illegal immigration and protect migrants from exploitation and violence.

Homan supports expanding ICE's 287(g) program, which partners with local law enforcement, and reinstating Title 42 to expedite migrant expulsions, citing public health concerns like tuberculosis and measles.

Homan seeks $86 billion from Congress to address ICE's $230 million budget shortfall, dismissing critics who argue mass deportations could harm industries reliant on immigrant labor, emphasizing national security over economic costs.
