Tom Homan: We’ll Be Ready to Launch the Day of the Inauguration

COLLINS: “And Tom Homan is my source and joins me tonight. And, Mr. Homan, it‘s great to have you. Thank you for for being here on the program tonight, because we are closing in on the inauguration. So when it comes to to this major campaign promise, you‘ve been working on that plan, is the plan done and ready to go at this point?”
HOMAN: “No, I’m still working on it. I‘ve got the general framework written up, and I‘m working with other folks on it. But by the time the inauguration happens, the plan will be baked and we‘ll be ready to — we will be ready to launch the day of the inauguration.”
COLLINS: “How much of it would you say is done so far? What does that process look like?”
HOMAN: “Well, look, I‘m looking at, you know, the number of people that were released in the United States by this administration. I‘m looking at how many of aliens have been already ordered deported by the immigration court, how many are out on ATD that have orders, how many are currently in detention that have orders, and looking at what the the level of — the time level of some of the hearings are going to be in certain jurisdictions of the country, how many criminal aliens — you know, there‘s over 700,000 illegal aliens with criminal convictions on the streets of this country. So that will, of course, be a priority. So I‘m looking on a lot of different data sets to figure out where and when and how we‘re going to do this.”
COLLINS: “So how many days after Trump is sworn in before the the this effort to carry out the mass deportations begins? I know you said it starts on day one, but after how many days will we actually start to see that happening?”
HOMAN: “Day one. Day one will be ICE officers across the country will be out on the streets, right out of the gate. The president has made it clear and I‘ve made it clear that priority right out of the gates is public safety threats and national security threats. And there‘s plenty of them to find. Right? I looked at the data. Under the Biden Administration, the deportation of criminal aliens have decreased 74%, so we have all those folks that the Biden Administration failed to deport plus you got this 10 — over 10 million encounters on the southern border that came across. We’ve got a lot of them to look for to. So the public safety threats are plenty, and it‘s going to keep us busy.”
