Summary

Incoming Trump administration “border czar” Tom Homan announced plans to resume family detentions as part of a crackdown on undocumented immigrants.

Families with children will be held in tent-like facilities, and parents may face the choice of deporting as a family or leaving US-born children behind.

Homan, known for his role in Trump’s first-term family separation policy, also plans to reinstate worksite raids and the “remain in Mexico” program.

Critics warn these policies, ended under Biden, harm children and undermine humanitarian standards.

    I think for this administration we should refer to them not as the “czar” of something, but rather the “hauptamptleiter”.

      It’s Amtsleiter, Amt means office.

      I’d love to see Trump attempt to speak another language though.

      How many Americans do you honestly think can pronounce a German descriptive compound noun? Maybe 5%?
