Tom Homan Details Chicago Deportation Plans

Tom Homan, appointed as President-elect Donald Trump's 'border czar,' has openly discussed plans for mass deportations, starting in Chicago. During multiple public appearances, he criticized local officials, particularly Mayor Brandon Johnson and Governor JB Pritzker, for their handling of immigration issues, asserting that if they impede deportation efforts, they would face prosecution. Homan emphasized that deportations would initially target undocumented migrants posing a threat to public security. He also made clear that the deportation plan, which Trump has been vague about, is set to begin on January 21. Homan's statements have garnered mixed reactions, with supporters applauding his tough stance while opponents decrying the potential impact on immigrant families. The administration intends to carry out what they describe as the largest mass deportation operation in U.S. history, raising concerns about the implications for local communities and families.
