Homan ought to have been the purpose individual from the get-go, as he led ICE throughout Trump’s first administration, and helps deportations focusing on unlawful immigrants with felony information. Noem is reportedly extra within the variety of arrests and deportations.
This end-run round Homeland Safety Secretary Noem is crucial, as the 2 capturing deaths of U.S. residents came about below her watch. Protests towards ICE brokers have turned confrontational, violent, and have been recorded on residents’ cellphone movies.
