‘Without Apology!’ Trump Border Czar Vows ‘Handcuffs’ Come Off on Day One as ICE ‘Finally’ to Begin Arrests, Mass Deportations

Incoming border czar Tom Homan promised to start mass deportations right after President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration next week.

Homan joined Fox News anchor Jesse Watters for an interview on Friday night where he vowed to let ICE “finally” do their job by deporting millions of undocumented migrants. Earlier this week, a report by the Wall Street Journal indicated that about 200 officers will reportedly descend on Chicago on Tuesday for a mass deportation raid just a day.

Watter asked Homan about these reports with the incoming border czar “there’s going to be a big raid all across the country.”

Homan not only vowed day one deportations, but that ICE is being told to do enforce immigration law “without apology.”

“ICE is finally going to go out and do their job,’ he said. “We’re going to take the handcuffs off ICE and let them go arrest criminal aliens.”

WATTERS: Am I blowing your cover when I announce that there’s going to be a big raid in Chicago on Tuesday? Or do you want people to know maybe they can self-deport?

HOMAN: There’s going to be a big raid all across the country. Chicago is just one of many places. We got 24 field offices across the country. On Tuesday, you’re going expect ICE — ICE is finally going to go out and do their job. We’re going to take the handcuffs off ICE and let them go arrest criminal aliens. That’s what’s going to happen.

WATTERS: What has ICE been doing for the last four years?

HOMAN: They haven’t been able to do much because Secretary Mayorkas had new ICE priorities. Get this. Now, the secretary of Homeland Security has told ICE you can’t arrest an illegal alien if he’s just here illegally. He’s got to be convicted of a serious crime or be a national security threat. He told immigration officers not to enforce immigration law.

Well, we’re telling ICE you’re going to enforce immigration law without apology. You’re going to concentrate the worst for public safety threats first, but no one’s off the table. If they’re in the country illegally, they’ve got a problem.
