US admits deportation 'error' as alarm deepens over Trump policy
https://www.rawstory.com/trump-deportations-2671654447/
2/2 Tom Homan is such a fucking creep. See this 'interview' with Tucker Carlson, in which he threatened New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. I really fear for her safety.

"Trump’s Deportation Czar Tom Homan was asked about Judge Boasberg’s order temporarily blocking him from flying more people to the prison in El Salvador: "I don't care what that judge thinks as far as this case. We're gonna continue to arrest public safety threats, national security threats. We're gonna continue to deport them."
As part of my work, I've been watching a fair bit of mainstream cable news recently; your condolences are appreciated in advance. While not all the coverage of the Trump regime's willful violation of judge's orders and the law in general has been horrible, there is a strong tendency to cast what is happening here as a hypothetical future result in a far too credulous way given the available evidence. This isn't even really about whether or not Downmarket Mussolini will get away with ignoring the laws and courts yet either; we're talking about grown adults in our media openly asking if the Trump regime seriously intends to do so, or this is all some grand strategy bluff.
This position is of course preposterous to the point that pretending it's plausible Trump isn't trying to create a "constitutional crisis" and allow his administration to act regardless of courts or the law, borders on open collaboration with a fascist regime. If that position sounds extreme to you, check out this article collecting some of the things official representatives of the Trump administration have said about the regime's already-enacted scheme to ship hundreds of alleged gang members to a slave labor prison in El Salvador despite having presented no evidence the Venezuelan men are gang members, and using a war powers act that's well over 200 years old, despite the fact that we're not at war with Venezuela:

"Bondi Says Trump Will Defy Judge, Continue Deportations"
"In a court filing, the ACLU and Democracy Forward accused the administration of a “blatant violation” of the restraining order, as senior Trump administration officials openly dismissed the order. Vice President J.D. Vance bragged about the forced transfers on X, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio retweeted a post by El Salvador President Nayib Bukele that mocked the judge’s decision, saying, “Oopsie… Too late,” alongside a laughing emoji."
Okay so that's Vice President JD Vance, and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio; let's take a look at what other high-level, official representatives of the Trump administration have to say about the situation and the government's intentions:
US Attorney General Pam Bondi:
“These are foreign terrorists, that the president has identified them, and designated them as such, and we will continue to follow the Alien Enemies Act [AEA].”
“You know, this one federal judge again thinks he can control foreign policy for the entire country, and he cannot.”
WH Deputy Chief of Staff (and noted white supremacist) Steven Miller:
“It is without doubt the most unlawful order a judge has issued in our lifetimes.”
“A district court judge has no authority to direct the national security operations of the executive branch. The president has operated the absolute apex of his constitutional authority,” he continued."
WH press secretary Karoline Leavitt:
"“[F]ederal courts generally have no jurisdiction over the President’s conduct of foreign affairs, his authorities under the Alien Enemies Act, and his core Article II powers to remove foreign alien terrorists from U.S. soil and repel a declared invasion.”
U.S. “border czar” Tom Homan:
“We’re not stopping.”
“I don’t care what the judges think. I don’t care what the Left thinks. We’re coming.”
Folks, these' aren't fascist YouTubers or Fox News media hosts, these are officially designated representatives and officials in the actual Trump administration. They aren't saying these things as a matter of personal opinion, they are speaking on behalf of the Trump regime in an official capacity, even when they're appearing on Fox. It is blatantly irresponsible for corporate media muppets to pretend this fascist nonsense is all something Trump *might* try to do, just because nobody knows if these nazis are actually going to get away with it. He *is* trying it, the US government under Trump's official position is that the president has the power to ignore laws and courts that interfere with his self-identified mandate to "save America." We can debate whether or not he'll get away with it, but the regime has made its intentions clear and the American people deserve to know that. It's not good enough to report Trump's actions and discuss the potential motivations behind them, while treating what regime officials openly say as a separate story. These things are intimately related and they should be presented as such.
Asked what was next, #TomHoman said: "Another flight, another flight every day."
"We're not stopping. I don't care what the judges think," he added.
With the #Republican-controlled #Congress largely backing his agenda, federal judges have often been the only constraint on #Trump, putting many actions hold while they consider their legality. In several cases, the admin has refused to comply w/judicial orders.
On Mon, #Trump's border czar, #TomHoman, said the flights were already in international airspace when the judge's orders came & that more flights would continue.
"Once you're outside the border, you know, it is what it is. But they're in international waters, already on the way south, close to landing. You know what? ... We did what we had to do," he told FauxNews…. [The law applied to the admin’s actions who were not in international jurisdiction; idiot.]
Speaking…Sunday, dog killer #KristiNoem noted that Lyons has a “long history” of working alongside #Trump’s border czar, #TomHoman. Lyons & Sheahan, she said, “have done incredible work *cleaning up* our communities & making them safer” [whiter].
“Adding more people to the team…is going to allow us to partner w/local law enforcement ofcls to make sure that we truly are following through on enforcing the #law, & if you break our law, then there’s going to be consequences,” she said.

Tom Homan is a fucking neanderthal, racist punk.
Racist neanderthal says what?!?
‘Border Czar’ Doubles Down on Asking If DOJ Should Prosecute AOC for Informing Immigrants of Their Rights
https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/border-czar-prosecute-aoc-immigrants-rights-1235269988/
"Donald Trump's 'border tsar' has vehemently defended a drive to deport unlawful migrants after singer and actress Selena Gomez posted a tearful video saying: 'All my people are being attacked, and children.'
The star, who has Mexican heritage, sobbed uncontrollably on camera, adding: 'I wish I could do something but I can't.' She captioned her video with 'I'm sorry' alongside a Mexican flag emoji.
But Tom Homan, responding to Gomez and others with similar views, told Fox News: 'If they don't like it, then go to Congress and change the law. We're going to do this operation without apology.'
Trump ordered a nationwide immigration crackdown after returning as president, with 956 arrests on Sunday, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)."
#TomHoman declined to confirm details about a possible deployment in #Chicago & said operational plans are left up to regional #ICE offices. It would be unusual for an admin to be involved in law enforcement planning operations before the presidential #transition is complete, though Homan acknowledged he has engaged in some preliminary discussions about enforcement.
“We just told them: Put your boots on,” Homan said.
…#TomHoman …& other incoming #Trump ofcls have said repeatedly that they are planning to immediately switch into enforcement mode, & that any of the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the #US illegally could be a target.
…Homan said at a holiday party last month in #Chicago that the admin would start raids “right here” & threatened to prosecute Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) for harboring undocumented immigrants if he got in the way.
The seesawing reports of possible #raids in #Chicago can stir up fears that advance the admin’s broader enforcement goals, even if operations are postponed or shifted to other cities. #TomHoman & other #Trump aides say they want immigrants living in the United States illegally to once more fear arrest & choose to leave the country on their own, or “self-deport.”
“#ICE will start arresting public safety threats & national security threats on day one,” #TomHoman said. “We’ll be arresting people across the country, uninhibited by any prior administration guidelines. Why Chicago was mentioned specifically, I don’t know.”
“This is nationwide thing,” he added. “We’re not sweeping neighborhoods. We have a targeted enforcement plan.”
#ICE has been planning a large operation in the #Chicago area for next week that would start after Inauguration Day & would bring in additional officers to ramp up #arrests….
#TomHoman said he did not know why Chicago “became a focus of attention” & said the incoming admin’s enforcement goals are much broader than one city.
#Trump ofcls reassessing post-inauguration #Chicago #raids after plans leaked
Trump’s handpicked “border czar” #TomHoman said…the incoming admin is reconsidering whether to launch #immigration raids in Chicago next week after preliminary details leaked in news reports. “We’re looking at this leak & will make a decision based on this leak. It’s unfortunate because anyone leaking law enforcement operations puts officers at greater risk,” Homan, said.
#law #CivilRights
https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2025/01/18/chicago-immigration-raids/
#TomHoman has tried to draw attention to the so-called #SanctuaryCities. In November, he suggested that he would ramp up the number of federal #immigration officers in those areas.
“New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, the major cities in this country are still sanctuary cities,” Homan said then, adding, “If they’re not going to help us, then we’ll just double the manpower in those cities.”
#Trump has promised to carry out #MassDeportations that would target millions of unauthorized immigrants in the US. #TomHoman has said the admin will not hesitate to deport parents who are in the country illegally but have US-born children.
Trump’s team also plans to reassign other federal agents & deputize local police officers & members of the National Guard voluntarily contributed by Republican-run states to help with the #deportation efforts.
Don Terry, a spox for the #Chicago police, said the dept would not “intervene or interfere with any other government agencies performing their duties,” but said it “does not document immigration status” & “will not share information with federal immigration authorities.”
#TomHoman, #Trump’s pick to oversee his promised #MassDeportations, has said the public should expect #immigration action in the early days of the Trump presidency that creates “shock & awe.”
I'm predicting that, eventually, Tom Homan will be indicted, tried, and imprisoned.
