Trump's Border Czar to Reinstate Family Detention Centers, Including U.S.-Born Children
Dec 26, 2024, 11:18 PM
Tom Homan, designated as the 'border czar' by President-elect Donald Trump, has announced plans to reinstate family detention centers for migrants as part of the incoming administration's strategy to combat illegal immigration. This marks a significant shift from the Biden administration's policy, which had ceased operations of family detention centers in 2021. Homan emphasized that the policy would include the detention of families with children, even those born in the U.S., stating that parents knew they were in the country illegally when they chose to have children. He mentioned the need to construct new family facilities, with the number of beds to be determined by data. Homan also indicated that the Trump administration would not hesitate to deport parents with U.S.-born children, leaving the decision to families on whether to leave together or separate.
