Trump's border czar advises Republicans to adjust expectations for initial deportation efforts

Tom Homan, President-elect Donald Trump’s border czar, has advised Republican lawmakers to lower their expectations for initial deportation efforts due to limited resources. Discussions have shifted from mass deportations to a more targeted approach, focusing on 1 to 2 million undocumented immigrants. Homan emphasized the need for increased funding and resources, including more detention beds and ICE agents, to carry out the deportation plans. Current government funding levels pose challenges for scaling up these operations. Republicans are grappling with the complexities of implementing their immigration agenda, acknowledging that significant funding will be necessary. The next government funding deadline is approaching, complicating efforts to secure the required resources for deportations.
