Thomas Homan, the incoming Border Czar, says that President-elect Donald Trump plans to restore Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)’s authority in order to protect American workers through worksite raids and by reinstating “Remain in Mexico”, border policy.

Homan, speaking to the Washington Post in regards to ICE agents conducting immigration enforcement at worksites, said: “We haven’t really worked out a plan for workplace enforcement.” “We are aware that employers will be angry.”

Biden deprived ICE in February 2021 of the ability to carry out worksite enforcement raids. A Post official said at the time that the administration “abolished ICE, without abolishing ICE.”

Homan stated that the Trump administration would reinstate the policy of Remain in Mexico at the southern border. Biden had ended it on his first day in the office.

1776 Coalition Sponsored Don’t let Senate Republicans kill the Trump Agenda Why do Senate Republicans make the rest of the GOP worry every time Congress has a fight over major legislation? They rarely seem to remember that they were elected to protect individual rights, cut spending and limit government overreach. Fortunately, we have our Top Defenders of Liberty leading the way, like: Rand Paul, Mike Lee, and Ron Johnson. Unfortunately, there’s still many others in the U.S. Senate who earned a low score in our Liberty Index, and they need to hear from you. Will you join our efforts to ensure the U.S. Senate passes Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” without compromises or interference from Senate RINOS?

The first Trump administration created and implemented Remain in Mexico, which helped to reduce asylum fraud by making sure migrants were not released into U.S. Interior while they awaited their immigration hearings.

Homan said that the next administration would build similar soft-sided facilities to hold migrants with children who arrive at the border.

Homan told The Post, “We must show that we are humane and can handle this.” “We cannot lose the trust of the American people.”
