Trump’s Border Czar Confirms Deportations Have ‘Already Started’
ICE teams are targeting those who have been convicted of a serious crime and are in the country illegally, Tom Homan said.

President Donald Trump’s border czar Tom Homan said Tuesday that U.S. immigration officials have already started carrying out deportations, targeting illegal immigrants who are deemed a threat to public safety.

Homan, a former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), told Fox News on Tuesday that regarding deportation operations, “it already started” and that operations are primarily focused on “public safety threats.”

“ICE teams are out there as of today,” he said, without providing details on where. Homan then made note of leaks to the media about ICE targeting areas in Chicago and suggested that a different plan was initiated.

That includes people who are in the country illegally who have been convicted of a serious crime, he said. He said that anyone who is in the United States illegally has been put on notice.
“We got to go into the neighborhood to find” an individual deemed a public safety threat, Homan said. When immigration officials “find others” who are in the country illegally, they “will be arrested” by ICE officials, he said, suggesting that officials are targeting sanctuary cities with illegal immigrants.

Earlier this week, Homan told ABC News that his team was “reviewing any plans in Chicago because of the leak” after reports in recent days indicated the Trump administration would launch operations in the city before moving on to other major U.S. cities.

“When the president gets sworn in, ICE officers are going to have a new priority of seeking out those who are considered a public safety threat and a national security threat,” Homan said to ABC News before the inauguration.

On Day One of Trump’s administration, the president signed a number of immigration- and border-related executive orders, including ending automatic birthright citizenship, declaring an invasion at the U.S.–Mexico border, and declaring a national emergency at the border.

“All illegal entry will immediately be halted,” Trump said at the Capitol minutes after being inaugurated on Monday. “And we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came.”

Legal challenges have already been filed against Trump’s order. Several Democrat-led states on Tuesday filed lawsuits challenging Trump’s executive order, arguing that it violates the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.

The administration also ended the immigration-related use of the CPB One app and ended any already-scheduled immigration-related hearings for individuals who were using the app, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CPB) said in a statement Monday. Concerns about the CBP One app had been raised by Trump, Vice President JD Vance, tech billionaire Elon Musk, and other Republicans during the 2024 presidential campaign.

Another order issued by Trump was to designate Mexican drug cartels and Latin American gangs like MS-13 and Tren de Aragua as foreign terrorist organizations.

As Trump signed those orders, he reiterated that he favors legal immigration and acknowledged an imminent legal challenge to overturning birthright citizenship. He called automatic citizenship “just ridiculous” and that he believes he is on “good [legal] ground” to change it.

These deportations are long overdue and indefensible. However, I predict the MSM will create stories to attack Trump. Some likely headlines:

"Mother must now raise her children alone"

"No one left to harvest crops"

"Deportation flights will increase global warming"

etc, etc.

Queue manipulative sob stories….

Please do Massachusetts first

If mayors, city counsel members or district attorneys interfere with the deportation of convicted felons charge them with aiding and abetting.

Air Force planes will fly deportation flights under Trump order

A total of four C-17s and C-130s will be used to fly migrants in detention out of the United States.

The U.S. military will fly about 5,400 migrants currently in detention out of the country as part of the Defense Department’s response to President Donald Trump’s declaration of a national emergency on the southern border, defense officials said on Wednesday.

The aircrews and maintainers involved in the deportation flights will be in addition to 1,500 active-duty troops that the Pentagon will deploy to the southern border by the end of the week, the senior defense official said.

On the flights, the Department of Homeland Security will provide in-flight law enforcement and diplomatic clearances will go through the State Department, Acting Secretary of Defense Robert Salesses said in a statement.

Both the Department of Homeland Security and State Department are still determining where the migrants will be flown to, a senior defense official told reporters on Wednesday...

This NEEDS to happen! Ignoring our laws must stop.

This is what Gov Murphy has issued to NJ SChools.

If ICE Comes To School: NJ Issues Guidelines For Educators, Staff
"Every child deserves the right to attend school without fear," Gov. Murphy said.

NEW JERSEY — As President Donald Trump has promised an immigration crackdown that could affect hundreds of thousands of New Jersey residents, officials are sharing way that schools can keep immigrant students and families safe.

The Trump administration announced Tuesday it would allow federal immigration agencies to make arrests at schools, churches and hospitals, ending a policy that had been in effect since 2011.

In new guidance released Wednesday, New Jersey education officials advise schools to do their best to protect their immigrant students, while also adhering to state and federal law.

"Every child deserves the right to attend school without fear," Gov. Phil Murphy said.

Tuesday’s move to clear the way for arrests at schools reverses guidance that restricted two federal agencies — Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection — from carrying out enforcement in sensitive locations.

In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security said: “Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest.”

An estimated 733,000 school-aged children are in the U.S. illegally, including 31,000 in New Jersey, according to the Migration Policy Institute. Many more have U.S. citizenship but have parents who are in the country illegally.

The NJ Department of Education added a page to its website with suggested protocols for schools if an ICE agent seeks to come onto school grounds or access school records. This includes getting the agent's information and any documents that authorize them access to the school, and immediately contacting the superintendent.

"It is vitally important for school officials to obtain a copy of any judicial search or arrest warrant, court order, or subpoena and present it to your district legal counsel before taking any action in response to immigration officials," the guidance reads.

Schools are also not required to share information about students' attendance or location without consulting with the superintendent or district legal council.

All local school districts in New Jersey must enroll students regardless of their immigration status, per state and federal regulations, and the Department of Education encourages districts to have systems of support in place for students and families. The DOE is "unwavering in its commitment to ensuring that every student, regardless of immigration status, national origin, or religion, can attend public school safely,” the document states.

Immigrant rights groups push back
About 440,000 undocumented immigrants are living in New Jersey, according to the Migration Policy Institute. Several municipalities in New Jersey have declared “sanctuary” status, including the state’s largest city, Newark.

Meanwhile, as the countdown to inauguration day continued, immigrant rights groups in New Jersey have been putting up red flags about the impact that mass deportations would have across the state. Read More: NJ Immigrants Need More Protection From Trump, Activists Tell Governor

A major immigration sweep took place in North Jersey the week before Trump’s inauguration, with U.S. Immigration and Customs and Enforcement (ICE) officers in Newark arresting 33 non-citizens who have committed or been accused of crimes.

ICE officers said they targeted “noncitizens” who had felonies or misdemeanors for domestic violence, sexual abuse or exploitation, burglary, unlawful possession or use of a firearm, drug distribution or trafficking, and driving under the influence.

Officers also targeted noncitizens with an executable final order of removal who have re-entered the U.S. illegally after having been previously removed, authorities said. See Related: Newark ICE Office Makes 33 Arrests, Deportations Loom

After Trump’s first day in office, the New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice (NJAIJ) – which has been helping to spearhead the resistance effort in the Garden State – launched a “Know Your Rights” campaign in nearly two dozen cities and towns.

Outreach has been taking place in municipalities including Newark, Jersey City, Passaic, Hackensack, Perth Amboy, Kearny, Paterson, Trenton, New Brunswick, Elizabeth, Plainfield, Garfield, Union City, Bayonne, Linden, Clifton, East Orange, Sayreville, West New York and Fort Lee.

“Advocates have warned for months that the Trump Administration would make good of campaign promises to enact mass detentions and deportations on Day 1,” the coalition wrote. “In his inaugural address, Trump doubled-down on those pledges, declaring a national emergency at the Southern border with intentions to mobilize military resources and personnel without congressional approval, and reinstate the ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy.”

The NJAIJ said Trump and his supporters are leading people on a wild goose chase by playing on their fears.

In its guidance, the New Jersey Department of Education also shares trauma-based resources for students who may be impacted by deportation and separation, and on how to talk to children about these issues.

Again cares more about NON citizens than his Citizens....

Not immigrants. Invaders.

Immigrants go through legal process. Invaders are here illegally.

But the left doesn’t honor laws unless they have a personal benefit.

ICE in Boston taking out the trash. And true to his word, Homan has ICE taking all illegals found onsite.

Irony is Biden probably doesn’t give a shit about them. They are a means, not an end. The political left only wants the votes associated with letting them in.
