Trump ‘border czar’ tells ABC military planes will deport migrants every day
President Trump’s newly appointed “border czar,” Thomas Homan, recently spoke to ABC News about the administration’s plans to ramp up deportations of migrants crossing the southern border. Homan, a former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), stated that military planes will be used to deport migrants on a daily basis.
The announcement comes as the Trump administration continues to crack down on illegal immigration, with the president declaring a national emergency at the border earlier this year. The use of military planes for deportations is a new tactic in the administration’s efforts to address what they see as a crisis at the border.
Homan stated that the administration is planning to use military planes to transport migrants back to their home countries, particularly those from Central America. He emphasized that the use of military resources is necessary to deter migrants from making the dangerous journey to the United States.
Critics of the administration’s immigration policies have raised concerns about the use of military planes for deportations, arguing that it is an excessive and costly measure. They also argue that it does not address the root causes of migration from countries in Central America, such as poverty, violence, and political instability.
Homan defended the use of military planes, stating that it is necessary to enforce immigration laws and secure the border. He also emphasized that the administration is committed to upholding the rule of law and protecting American citizens.
The announcement of daily deportations using military planes is likely to escalate tensions over immigration policy in the United States. As the Trump administration continues to push for stricter enforcement measures, it remains to be seen how these policies will impact the ongoing debate over immigration reform.
