President Donald Trump’s incoming “border czar,” Tom Homan, announced Monday that workplace raids will be reinstated to combat illegal immigration and trafficking. Homan, a former ICE director, emphasized the importance of targeting illegal worksites.
“Worksites are often where victims of forced labor and sex trafficking are found,” Homan said during an appearance on Fox & Friends. The raids are intended to protect victims while cracking down on traffickers.
Tom Homan announces he will begin workplace immigration raids.
If you are illegal, get out of our country now. It will save us time and energy, and also spare you the humiliation. The days of gaming America's immigration system with impugnity are over.
Get out.

Homan criticized the Biden administration, claiming it has lost track of over 300,000 children smuggled into the US by cartels. He said stronger enforcement is needed to address this crisis and prevent further exploitation.
Sanctuary cities will not deter ICE operations, according to Homan. He warned that federal agents will work in these areas even without local support. “We’ll double our efforts if necessary to enforce the law,” he stated.

Activists have expressed concern about the potential impact on trafficking victims, but Homan insists the raids are designed to target traffickers and criminal networks. He described the policy as a vital tool for combating exploitation.

Homan’s appointment signals a return to the Trump administration’s tough stance on immigration, with workplace raids and sanctuary city enforcement at the forefront.
