Tom Homan, President Donald Trump’s newly appointed border czar, has confirmed that ICE immigration raids are back in action, targeting illegal immigrants who pose threats to public safety and national security. Speaking in an interview, Homan stated that ICE officers have been deployed and are actively pursuing their mission to enforce immigration laws.
The long-anticipated operations, which were initially delayed due to a leak of planned actions in Chicago, are now back on track. Homan explained that the Chicago raid was temporarily paused to address security concerns, but ICE remains committed to executing its plan effectively. The agency is prioritizing dangerous individuals and focusing on areas with high rates of criminal activity.
Sanctuary cities such as New York and Los Angeles are key targets in the enforcement effort, with Homan making it clear that local policies will not prevent federal authorities from carrying out their duties. He assured that ICE agents are working on an extensive list of individuals with criminal backgrounds who will be prioritized for removal.
Yeah, “BOOM”, I like that… can we get video of the raids? Please. Maybe Mr. Homan can get some UFC fighters to join the troops. pic.twitter.com/RC6zWNte9t

The leaked details of the Chicago raid reportedly led some illegal immigrants to flee from shelters to avoid apprehension. In response, ICE has increased its focus on operational security, warning agents not to disclose details of upcoming actions to ensure successful enforcement.
Since Maine's MSM won't tell the truth, have Lewiston or Portland had any raids yet?

Trump’s administration has made it clear that immigration enforcement is a top priority, with Homan vowing that ICE will no longer face the restrictions imposed by previous policies. The goal is to restore control at the border and within communities facing challenges due to illegal immigration.
Law enforcement officials have indicated that more operations are being planned across the country, with ICE field offices coordinating efforts to target repeat offenders and those who pose the greatest risks to public safety.
