In this episode, I’m sitting down with White House ā€œborder czarā€ Tom Homan. A career law enforcement officer, he’s served as a cop, border patrol agent, federal investigator, and acting ICE chief and worked under six presidents from both sides of the aisle.

He breaks down how the Trump administration has undertaken the most aggressive transformation of immigration enforcement that America has ever seen.

Monthly deportations have hit record highs, Homan says. Enforcement officers are prioritizing high-risk offenders, with over 60 percent of arrests involving individuals with criminal convictions or active felony charges, Homan says.

The pushback has been fierce. Homan says assaults on ICE officers are up 1,600 percent. Threats are up 6,000 percent.

ā€œIt's a lot of the hateful rhetoric feeding the frenzy,ā€ Homan says.

We discuss: What new initiatives or priorities can we expect to see in coming weeks and months? How is the Trump administration dealing with nationwide court injunctions? Will the administration close a major China-related loophole on one of its island territories? And how many unaccompanied minors that were unaccounted for in the system have since been found? How many were sex trafficked or used as forced labor?
