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.
