Defiant border czar brushes away MAGA critics, says ‘mass deportations are coming’

Homan said the administration will send more ICE agents to states that limit cooperation and expects collateral arrests to rise.

  • White House border czar Tom Homan vowed on Tuesday to "flood the zone" with immigration officers in jurisdictions limiting cooperation, speaking at the Border Security Expo in Phoenix.
  • Rejecting claims that the administration is "getting weak on mass deportation," Homan dismissed critics within President Donald Trump's base as "keyboard warriors" who "don't know what the hell you're talking about."
  • Homan conceded that 35% to 40% of undocumented immigrants arrested during the current term have no criminal record, but warned "collateral arrests" will increase in states limiting cooperation.
  • Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York reacted sharply on Tuesday, noting President Donald Trump promised not to send ICE agents to the state unless she requests them.
  • Under Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, the administration pursues a more targeted approach following criticism of former Secretary Kristi Noem's operations, which drew protests in cities like Minneapolis.
