“I want to go back to those military flights going south,” ABC’s Martha Raddatz said. “We have never seen that before. Is that going to be a constant commitment from the U.S. military every single day to take deportees out?”. Homan had a simple response: “Yes.”.
He added that the U.S. government, for the first time, has used military aircraft to fly migrants back to their home countries. U.S. officials have said that the military flew more than 150 migrants to Guatemala on two flighst on Thursday. The border czar said millions of people will be deported and that the numbers will rise as arrests are made nationwide “as we open up the aperture.”.
“Right now, it’s countering public safety threats, national security threats,” Homan said of the current focus of the deportation efforts. “That’s a smaller population, so we’re going to do this on priority based as President Trump promised. But as that aperture opens, there’ll be more arrests nationwide.”.
Raddatz went on to ask if the administration would go after everyone in the country illegally after the initial deportations of those who have been found to have committed crimes. “If you’re in the country illegally, you’re on the table,” said Homan. “Because it’s not okay to violate the laws of this country.”.
