“They will be a targeted enforcement operation,” Homan said Saturday on “Fox News Live.”

The Wall Street Journal reported The government is planning a major raid in Chicago on Tuesday, specifically targeting people with criminal records.
Homan told host Mike Emanuel: “President Trump has made it clear from day one, from the campaign trail to today, that he will secure our borders and conduct deportation operations. There will definitely be consequences,” he said.
“President Trump has had that. He has no patience. We're going to launch this operation. We're going to fulfill the mission that the American people gave him.”

The administration has promised a mass deportation operation as well as increased border security. Officials said they intended to target people with criminal records or convictions, but also stressed that anyone in the United States could be illegally arrested. There are currently more than 7 million individuals on ICE's non-custodial records.
“We're going back to the safest border of my lifetime that we had during President Trump's first administration, but this time we're going to finish the job. Secure the border and save lives. “I will be exposed,” he said. he claimed.
Homan also addressed the expected pushback from China. “Sanctuary” city State and local law enforcement agencies refuse to honor the honor of ICE detainees and require that ICE be notified when undocumented immigrants in their custody are released.
“How many young women have to be raped, murdered and burned alive until sanctuary cities figure this out? It's about public safety,” Homan said. “It is the first responsibility of every elected official, whether it is the mayor, the governor, the city council member, to protect his or her community. Please help us. We're not asking you to do that.'' We're asking you to help make your communities safer for people living in the country illegally. ”
