Summary
Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, admitted that finding undocumented immigrants with criminal records has been difficult, requiring full ICE teams for field raids.
Arrest numbers, around 14,000 in Trump’s first month, are below the administration’s 1,500-per-day goal.
Homan blamed sanctuary cities for not cooperating with federal immigration enforcement. He vowed to increase enforcement teams and denied mass school or church raids, though ICE may target specific criminals.
The administration has stopped publishing daily arrest figures, despite a drop in immigration arrests since November.
I hate the use of the word czar in this context, my pedantic historian brain knows it means “Caesar” and the meaning makes no sense
And it being the Russian version doesn’t make it better.
Best thing is the UK and US anti drug commissioner being called the “drug czar”
