Tom Homan insists ICE is not narrowing deportation agenda
May 21, 2026 · Minneapolis, MN

White House border czar Tom Homan reported that ICE and federal partners have arrested approximately 641,000 immigrants lacking permanent legal status and removed over 800,000 from the United States in 16 months of Trump's second term. Homan acknowledged recent slowdowns in enforcement operations but stated the administration has a plan to increase deportations further. The administration faces criticism from both Democrats concerned about arrests of non-criminals and Trump supporters demanding broader enforcement beyond criminal deportations.
