Tom Homan on State Responsibility for Deportation Facilities and Bed Capacity

State Responsibility for Deportation

• 🎯 States have a responsibility to open facilities for deportations, as the Biden administration's release of undocumented individuals has created a state-level problem.
• 🌍 The influx of people over the last four years has impacted states through increased crime and exhaustion of social services.
• 👏 Homan expressed happiness that states are beginning to step up and take on this responsibility.
