Border Czar Tom Homan on Tuesday reaffirmed his commitment to pursuing record deportations and said he was actively working with the White House, despite reports of leadership changes at ICE.
“We’re not going to be slowed down by any story about changes in leadership. I can tell you that the Trump administration is dedicated to achieving a record deportation, that vast majority being criminal aliens,” he said on Fox News. “As far as personnel changes, that’s under the purview of the Secretary of Homeland Security.”
