Trump's Border Czar Tom Homan's Controversial Immigration Plans

immigrationdonald trumpborderczarfamilies

President-elect Donald Trump's "border czar" Tom Homan has detailed his immigration plans, which include reintroducing family detention centers. Under this policy, detained migrants would have the choice of leaving their U.S.-born children behind or all being deported together. This policy was halted by the Biden administration in 2021, but Homan argues that it will be the parents' choice whether to let their families be separated. Some children of undocumented immigrants were born in the U.S., making them citizens who can't be deported. The costs and implications of this plan remain to be seen.
