Tom Homan, President Donald Trump’s border czar, confirmed that ICE has resumed immigration enforcement operations, targeting illegal immigrants who have committed crimes or pose risks to national security. In a recent interview, Homan clarified that ICE teams have been deployed across the country, focusing on public safety threats first and foremost.
One major operation in Chicago was temporarily postponed due to a security leak that compromised the element of surprise and raised concerns for officer safety. However, Homan assured that the operation is still moving forward and ICE remains committed to carrying out its mission.
The Trump administration has put sanctuary cities in the spotlight, with Homan reiterating that ICE will not be deterred by local governments that refuse to cooperate. He noted that ICE agents are prioritizing the most dangerous individuals and taking necessary precautions to avoid future disruptions.
Yeah, “BOOM”, I like that… can we get video of the raids? Please. Maybe Mr. Homan can get some UFC fighters to join the troops. pic.twitter.com/RC6zWNte9t

Since the announcement of increased enforcement, many illegal immigrants in cities like New York and Chicago have reportedly left government-funded shelters to evade capture. ICE agents have been instructed to keep the details of upcoming operations confidential to prevent further leaks.
Since Maine's MSM won't tell the truth, have Lewiston or Portland had any raids yet?

Homan emphasized that ICE is now operating with fewer restrictions than under the previous administration, and that field offices are working diligently to execute deportation orders and restore order in affected communities.
The Trump administration is expected to continue expanding immigration enforcement efforts in the coming months, with additional measures being put in place to support ICE’s mission and secure the border.
