Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan said the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador was not a mistake. The comment came as Homan and White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt Monday morning addressed a press conference after the administration's major crackdown on illegal immigrants in Florida and Colorado.
“First of all, I don’t accept the term error,” Homan said adding that there was an oversight that there was an order against Garcia's separation but now things have changed and Garcia is an MS-13 terrorist.
Leavitt said the administration is open to all legal and constitutional remedies to continue its widespread mass separation program as Homan said former president Joe Biden made the borders insecure on purpose.
Homan also commented on the deportation of the children, who were born in the US and therefore are US citizens, along with their mothers and said it happened due to the "parental decision".
He said the administration removed the children because their mothers, who are undocumented immigrants, “requested” that their children stay with them rather than remain in the country.
“This is a parental decision. … Parenting 101, the mothers made that choice,” Homan said.
Executive order on immigration crackdown
President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order this afternoon that will step up his administration’s immigration crackdown attempts.
The order will direct the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department to provide a list of sanctuary cities not complying with federal immigration laws, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at a White House press briefing today. Other orders focused on securing the border and “law and order” are also expected today.
What happened in Florida and Colorado on Sunday?
In Florida ICE conducted a four-day operation named Tidal Wave in collaboration with the state law enforcement agencies. Nearly 800 individuals were arrested for entering the country illegally.
In Colorado, a separate raid took place at a nightclub and the ICE, DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) arrested 114 immigrants. The operation, which involved over 300 law enforcement officers, followed months of investigation into the nightclub for alleged activities including drug trafficking, prostitution, and violent crimes. Video footage showed agents ordering patrons to exit the building with hands raised, with some individuals fleeing through a smashed window.
