Trump's Border Czar Outlines Deportation Plans

President-elect Donald Trump's newly appointed 'border czar', Tom Homan, has indicated that the administration may revive family detention centers for migrants, a practice halted by the Biden administration. Homan aims to implement an extensive deportation strategy that could include detaining families in 'soft-sided' facilities, emphasizing that deportations will be performed humanely, allowing families to choose whether to be separated or deported together. He has also noted plans to challenge existing legal frameworks, such as the Flores Settlement Agreement, which limits the detention of migrant children. Homan's strategy is part of Trump's promise for one of the largest deportation operations in U.S. history, potentially requiring significant funding and resources. Despite past controversies surrounding family separations, Homan stated that he does not foresee large-scale separations occurring under this new plan. The deportation efforts are expected to start immediately upon Trump's inauguration, targeting undocumented migrants, including those with U.S.-born children.
