Trump border czar Tom Homan says the administration is preparing to add 10,000 new immigration agents, marking another major step in President Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration. Speaking Friday at the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority Conference, Homan said the administration has already had a historic year for deportations.
He told the crowd that 10,000 more agents should be on board by the end of next month, then added: wait until next year. Homan also defended the men and women of ICE, who he said face constant attacks from left-wing politicians and activists simply for enforcing the law.
He said ICE agents strap on a firearm and Kevlar vest every day to arrest the worst of the worst, only to be smeared by members of Congress as Gestapo or secret police. His response was blunt: ICE is enforcing laws Congress itself wrote. If politicians call agents racist for enforcing those laws, Homan asked: “What does that say about the lawmakers who created them?”
President Trump also touted his administration’s enforcement record, saying ICE and Border Patrol have achieved the highest average daily arrest rate, detention totals, final removal orders, and removals of any president in history.
He said court delays are slowing some final orders, but the administration’s numbers remain unmatched. These are historic accomplishments that form the core of President Trump’s MAGA legacy.
After years of open-border chaos, America finally has leadership willing to enforce immigration law, back federal agents, remove criminal illegal aliens, and put the safety of American citizens first. ICE is gearing up to do the mass deportations that are needed to save America for generations to come. Any illegals who have been able to evade justice up to now better watch out. ICE will be coming to their door soon to send them back to where they belong.
