#TomHoman declined to confirm details about a possible deployment in #Chicago & said operational plans are left up to regional #ICE offices. It would be unusual for an admin to be involved in law enforcement planning operations before the presidential #transition is complete, though Homan acknowledged he has engaged in some preliminary discussions about enforcement.

“We just told them: Put your boots on,” Homan said.

…#TomHoman …& other incoming #Trump ofcls have said repeatedly that they are planning to immediately switch into enforcement mode, & that any of the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the #US illegally could be a target.

…Homan said at a holiday party last month in #Chicago that the admin would start raids “right here” & threatened to prosecute Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) for harboring undocumented immigrants if he got in the way.

The seesawing reports of possible #raids in #Chicago can stir up fears that advance the admin’s broader enforcement goals, even if operations are postponed or shifted to other cities. #TomHoman & other #Trump aides say they want immigrants living in the United States illegally to once more fear arrest & choose to leave the country on their own, or “self-deport.”

“#ICE will start arresting public safety threats & national security threats on day one,” #TomHoman said. “We’ll be arresting people across the country, uninhibited by any prior administration guidelines. Why Chicago was mentioned specifically, I don’t know.”

“This is nationwide thing,” he added. “We’re not sweeping neighborhoods. We have a targeted enforcement plan.”

#ICE has been planning a large operation in the #Chicago area for next week that would start after Inauguration Day & would bring in additional officers to ramp up #arrests….

#TomHoman said he did not know why Chicago “became a focus of attention” & said the incoming admin’s enforcement goals are much broader than one city.

#Trump ofcls reassessing post-inauguration #Chicago #raids after plans leaked

Trump’s handpicked “border czar” #TomHoman said…the incoming admin is reconsidering whether to launch #immigration raids in Chicago next week after preliminary details leaked in news reports.

“We’re looking at this leak & will make a decision based on this leak. It’s unfortunate because anyone leaking law enforcement operations puts officers at greater risk,” Homan, said.

Makes an atheist want to believe in hell for people like this:

"In case you were wondering if Homan feels any regret for that brutal policy [separating families], he showed up at last year’s Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) to complain that he was “sick and tired” of hearing about family separation and that “I’m still being sued over that, so come get me. I don’t give a shit.”
