Donald Trumps former acting director of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Tom Homan, who has been named the border czar for the incoming second Trump administration, says the U.S. Armed Forces and special operations teams will need to be involved in the border efforts President-elect Trump repeatedly promised on the campaign trail.
Trump on Sunday announced Homan will be in charge of our Nations Borders, and will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin, CBS News reported.
You absolutely need military and special ops, Homan told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo Tuesday morning, citing Mexican drug cartels. Homan added, President Trump has said hes going to declare these cartels terrorist organizations.
So is the U.S. Military involved here, Tom? Bartiromo had asked. Are you hoping that the military helps, because youre dealing with some really serious uh serious people on the other side, as President Trump once called them, these bad hombres. Im talking about the drug cartels.

Trump accused Biden and Harris of letting criminals in. Every accusation is a confession.

He could get a cut of their profits by offering them free rein and protection.
China and Russia have been doing this.
China sends raw materials to Mexico for the drug cartels to make the finished product.
Putin involves himself with bad actors all over the planet.

(64,602 posts)There are plenty of indicators. Where did all those children separated at the border go? Sold to people as slaves, probably. Sold to sex traffickers.
The man is pure evil and he surrounds himself with evil.

Trump and Epstein were very close for a long time.
Epstein was a big trafficker in the sex trade.
Rich men could get whatever they desired for the right price.
No questions asked.
Trump didn't miss any of this.

Think about who is in charge of our country now, think hard and then tell me that it won't happen. They are a death cult.

(19,653 posts)The business community will riot! It's too big, too complex! They'll only deport a few thousand, not millions! They'd never risk crops rotting in the fields!
At this point, we should take everything Trump and Project 2025 said as dead serious. Not hype, not exaggerations. Millions deported. A wall on the border. Unannounced raids on places employing immigrants. Denaturalization. Mass detention camps on the border. Armed military patrols with permission to fire upon "drug cartel members" that will inevitably end up being bullet-riddled, unarmed women and children.
They're hellbent on doing what they said they'd do, results be damned.
