“The message is clear now that we’re going to continue doing worksite enforcement operations, even on farms and hotels, but based on a prioritized basis,” Homan said. “Criminals come first.”
This announcement follows the Department of Homeland Security’s recent reversal of guidance that had called for a pause on operations at these locations.
Homan also noted that the administration is focusing resources sanctuary cities, explaining that they “knowingly release public safety threats, illegal aliens to the community every day.”
