Federal agencies deploy 1,000 teams daily to deport illegal migrants and are continuing their worksite arrests, according to Tom Homan, President Donald Trump’s czar for migration enforcement.
“We’ve got over 1,000 teams on the streets every day across this country,” Homan told reporters at the White House.
He continued:
Right now, we’re concentrating on the ‘sanctuary cities’ because that is where the problem is. They knowingly release public safety threats — illegal aliens — to the community every day. That’s why we’re sending more resources to the ‘sanctuary cities.’ We don’t have that problem in the state of Florida, where most of the county sheriffs accept our detainers.
Homan also noted that the deportation teams will continue to visit worksites in search of illegal migrants. “It’s a matter of messaging properly,” he said. “The message is clear enough: We’re going to continue doing worksite enforcement operations, even on farms and hotels, but based on a prioritized basis — criminals come first.”
