Homan: Success of the 'Illegal Immigrant Deportation Plan' Depends on Budget Allocation

The senior border security official of the Trump administration stated in an interview with ABC that the success of the extensive deportation plan for illegal immigrants depends on the budget allocated by Congress. Tom Homan emphasized that 'the Trump administration will not be able to deport all illegal immigrants currently in the United States,' adding, 'I am a realist. We will do everything we can with the budget we have, but the more budget we have, the more actions we can take.' The senior border security official also mentioned that his focus is on 'removing public safety threats' from the streets and deporting all members of illegal immigration gangs in the country, including the Venezuelan cartel 'Trinidad de Agua.' Tom Homan noted that for the first time, the government has used military aircraft to return immigrants to their countries, and this process will continue daily. According to U.S. officials, the U.S. military transferred over 150 immigrants to Guatemala on two separate flights on Thursday, January 24. Preventing the entry of illegal immigrants and taking severe action against and deporting this group from U.S. soil has been one of Donald Trump's main promises during his presidential campaign. The deployment of 1,500 more U.S. soldiers to the Mexican border to prevent the entry of illegal immigrants, the Senate's approval of the Homeland Security Secretary nominee, Marco Rubio's trip to Central America aimed at curbing illegal immigration, Donald Trump's statement that America will soon be stronger and wealthier than ever, and the Congress's approval of the detention of some illegal immigrants are all part of this narrative.
