Summary

Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, admitted that finding undocumented immigrants with criminal records has been difficult, requiring full ICE teams for field raids.

Arrest numbers, around 14,000 in Trump’s first month, are below the administration’s 1,500-per-day goal.

Homan blamed sanctuary cities for not cooperating with federal immigration enforcement. He vowed to increase enforcement teams and denied mass school or church raids, though ICE may target specific criminals.

The administration has stopped publishing daily arrest figures, despite a drop in immigration arrests since November.

    The sanctuary cities are gathering and collection points. If I was an illegal immigrant, I would work in the red run welfare counties for a MAGAt farmer.

      Yeah the problem there is you’re gonna get horrific working conditions and if you try to speak up about it they’ll call ICE on you and get another immigrant to replace you.
