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.
You act like they’re going to bother to send them back to their country of origin.
The Mexican government has already made it clear that they will only be accepting Mexican citizens from the US.
