Tom Homan on Deporting Felon Migrants Under Title 8 and TPS Rulings

Deportations Under Title 8 Authority

• 🚀 Title 8 authority is being used to deport violent criminal migrants to El Salvador, including MS-13 and "Trrenad Aagua" members.
• 🎯 Among those deported are alleged gang members, individuals implicated in sexual abuse of a minor, and suspected murderers.
• ⚠️ Tom Homan emphasizes a commitment to continuously arresting and removing these individuals, stating "we're not letting up."

Expediting Deportation Orders

• ⏱️ The process for obtaining final deportation orders can take years, highlighting the need for expedited removals and voluntary returns.
• ⚖️ Homan calls for immigration courts to prioritize recent cases and increase the number of immigration judges.
• 🚨 Detained individuals receive hearings within approximately 40 days, while those not in detention can wait five to seven years, underscoring the importance of detention for faster processing.

Venezuelan TPS Ruling and Legal Challenges

• 🏛️ A federal judge ruled against the termination of Temporary Protective Status (TPS) for Venezuelans, citing a lack of evidence for widespread criminality and calling the generalization "baseless and smacks of racism."
• 🚫 Homan criticizes the ruling as the work of an "activist judge" and asserts that TPS should be temporary, not a decades-long status.
• 📜 The Trump administration's stance is to enforce laws enacted by Congress and secure the border, with an intention to appeal and win the case.

Rochester Police and ICE Cooperation

• 🤝 The Rochester Police Department is facing scrutiny for assisting ICE in a call involving a van with eight occupants.
• ✊ The police union defended the officers' actions as standard procedure to back up other officers in potentially dangerous situations.
• 📢 Homan plans to visit Rochester to address the issue, attributing the controversy to the mayor's support for sanctuary city policies, which he believes led to officers being taken off the road.
