Trump Administration’s Deportation Actions
Upon commencing his second term, President Donald Trump swiftly enacted executive orders aimed at intensifying immigration enforcement. These directives led to the arrest of 956 individuals in a single day, marking a significant escalation in deportation activities.
The administration’s stance has been clear: a rigorous application of existing immigration laws to enhance national security. Homan articulated this position, stating, “If they don’t like it, then go to Congress and change the law.”

In reaction to Gomez’s emotional appeal, Homan reaffirmed the administration’s dedication to its immigration policies. He emphasized the necessity of law enforcement in maintaining national security and public safety, asserting, “It is all for the good of this nation. And we’re gonna keep going. No apologies. We’re moving forward.”
