Trump Border Czar Gloated About Coming Deportation Explosion In Speech Before Trump Won

Former Immigration and Customs Enforcement Acting Director Tom Homan vowed to explode deportations months before President-elect Donald Trump won his second term, boasting “They ain’t seen shit yet!” Days after his victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump tapped Homan to be border czar. Just as quickly, Homan began issuing hardline soundbites about the mass deportation to come. But Homan was raring to go long before he got the tap on the shoulder. In a speech at the National Conservatism Conference in Washington, DC in July, Homan predicted this week’s news — and next year’s: "Well, there is the secret. That’s why Tom Homan is pissed off. Because we had this locked down. I tell you what, Washington Post can do all the stories they want on me about “Tom Homan’s deportin’ people, he’s really good at it!” They ain’t seen shit yet! Wait till 2025! I apologize, but– I probably should I shouldn’t say the S-word. My wife tells me, stop saying it. I just like I say, I don’t bring notes. I just go. I just I just go with my heart because my experience, what I’ve done, what I’ve seen. I want to end with this about. This border crisis is historic. Millions never seen before. Numbers, right. And lately, the press have gone all Trump’s Trump is going to do a historic deportation operation! What a terrible thing to say! What a racist thing to say! No, it’s not! On the hands of a historic immigration crisis where millions of people have entered this country illegally or been released into the United States by this administration illegally. Here’s what you need to know. If you look at immigration court data EOIR, over the last decade, nearly nine out of ten people claim asylum at the southern border will never get relief from U.S. courts because they simply don’t qualify or they don’t show up in court."
