If you’re here illegally, you better be looking over your shoulder,” the former ICE director has said of Trump’s campaign pledge of mass deportation.

The former acting ICE director was a contributor to Project 2025, the sweeping conservative blueprint for the next Republican president, which Trump distanced himself from during his campaign.

Trump has appointed Tom Homan as border czar to oversee deportations and border security. Homan stated that ICE will conduct operations humanely and effectively, ensuring targeted actions without military involvement.
