Thomas Homan, a former Acting Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has stated that former President Donald Trump has the potential to execute a “historic deportation operation,” but emphasized the need for support from every Republican in Congress.

Homan stressed the importance of passing vital legislation and allocating significant resources to achieve this goal.

During an interview with SiriusXM Patriot’s Breitbart News Daily, Homan highlighted the necessity of initiating the process by removing “Deep State” actors from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

These individuals, according to Homan, are political appointees who allegedly prioritize working for President Joe Biden’s administration and hinder agents from carrying out their duties.

“I think we know who the Deep State is, it starts with Alejandro Mayorkas and the political appointees that they’ve spread across the agencies … so we start with the political appointees because they’re working for the administration, they’re not working for the agencies,” Homan said. “They’re there to keep an eye on the agencies to make sure the agencies can’t do what they’re supposed to do.”

“ICE is ending detention operations and giving it to NGOs … it’s not hard, you start with the political appointees and you work your way down from there,” Homan continued.

Following the housekeeping, Homan emphasized that House and Senate Republicans need to approve H.R.2, the top-tier border security bill introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX).

This legislation aims to revamp the federal government’s approach to border enforcement, deportation of illegal immigrants, and the eradication of asylum fraud.

Although H.R.2 was passed in the Republican-led House, it did not undergo consideration in the Senate.

“We know that would work, why would it work? Because it was some of Trump’s policies and we proved it worked,” Homan said.

“Here’s the problem, even with the Trump policies, how many beds is ICE going to have? What is it that Congress will give ICE to buy more detention beds? What will they give ICE to expand the transportation contract … to get people out of the country? What are they going to allow ICE to do in terms of law enforcement resources?” Homan asked rhetorically. “That’s where the problem is going to be. We need to have both the House and Senate so we don’t have that problem.”

Homan urged House and Senate Republicans to avoid repeating their actions from 2017 and 2018, during which little was done to address border security despite the GOP’s control of both branches.

Rather than prioritizing tax cuts, Republican lawmakers should focus on securing the border.

“Even if we do have the House and Senate, I hope they do a hell of a lot better than they did under the first two years of Trump when they wouldn’t help him lock down the border and Trump had to sign all these executive actions because Republicans weren’t there to help him,” Homan said.

“I hope with everything going on in this country in the last four years, every Republican in the Congress, every Republican in the Senate is going to back up this president,” Homan continued. “If that doesn’t happen, it’s going to be hard for him to be successful.”

From a logistical standpoint, Homan emphasized the importance of Trump leading the deportation effort, as his strength is essential in persuading foreign leaders to repatriate their nationals.

“People need to understand, you don’t just arrest somebody this morning and deport them this afternoon unless they’re a citizen of Mexico. You have to detain them long enough to get a travel document from their home country and get their home country to accept the fact that they’re a citizen,” Homan said. “Then you’ve got … countries like China who won’t take them back.”

Homan stated that Trump has a history of pressuring countries to repatriate their citizens, even when they resist.

“The historic deportation operation … this is going to require a strong president like President Trump who for instance, when we did operations and arrested almost 500 MS-13 gang members, and I told the president, it’s tough to get these people back to El Salvador because they push back, especially on gang members,” Homan said. “It took Trump 48 hours, two days, to call El Salvador and tell them they are going to take the gang members back or he will take back every single dollar of international aid away from them. They came to the table quickly.”

“He did the same thing for the other Central American countries. Mexico, they didn’t want to do the Remain in Mexico program, they said no,” Homan said. “Then Trump said ‘I’ll tariff the hell out of you to the billions of dollars’ and now all of a sudden they’re in.”

“Biggest deportation operation but we’ve got a lot of hurdles still to come to make that successful,” Homan said.

Currently, the United States is home to an estimated 11 to 22 million undocumented immigrants, with hundreds of thousands entering the country each month through the southern border during President Joe Biden’s administration.

The majority of these individuals are being released into the interior of the U.S. upon arrival.
