Tom Homan, President Donald Trump's point man for mass deportations and border security, on Wednesday suggested that the administration plans to "massively expand" immigration enforcement in U.S. workplaces.
The Trump administration initially targeted illegal immigrants with a criminal record — "the worst of the worst" — with 75% of arrests made by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the first 100 days of Trump's second term aimed at migrants with criminal convictions or charges, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
But the administration has indicated several times that no one in the country illegally is off the table.
