He clarified that worksite enforcement will continue but will focus on high-priority cases, particularly those involving serious crimes such as trafficking and tax fraud. Homan emphasized the importance of enforcing immigration laws, stating that hiring illegal workers is illegal and that employers must explore legal hiring practices for farm labor. he praised Florida for its cooperation with federal enforcement efforts and criticized the Biden administration for halting such worksite operations, suggesting it hindered the identification of trafficking victims. Homan&#8217;s comments highlight a commitment to curb illegal immigration and are aimed at discouraging employers from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/true-number-of-illegal-alien-population-likely-three-times-higher-than-oft-quoted-11-million-estimate\/\" title=\"True Number of ...

He also pointed out the focus on sanctuary cities, where he claims public safety is compromised by the release of illegal aliens into communities. Homan&#8217;s statements reflect a push to maintain aggressive immigration enforcement and uphold Trump&#8217;s immigration policy framework.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Trump administration border czar Tom Homan addressed concerns Thursday about immigration agents halting operations against farms and businesses, in light of recent reports that they&rsquo;ve been told to stand down.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The message is clear that we&rsquo;re going to continue doing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/secy-mayorkas-orders-i-c-e-to-stop-raiding-workplaces-for-illegal-immigrants\/\" title=\"Secy.

But because Congress failed to address it, [that] doesn&rsquo;t mean we ignore it.

That was a dumb move. That&rsquo;s where you find victims.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>These types of public announcements are providing vital credibility to the president&rsquo;s overall immigration strategy. This is the exact platform that contributed to Trump&rsquo;s victories in 2016 and 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The mainstream media smelled blood, however, when Trump seemingly softened on his stance regarding certain economic arenas where illegals are employed.<\/p>\n<p>Yet if the goal is to round up those who crossed the border illegally, violent or not, these areas are the best places to start.<\/p>\n<p>The message being sent by the White House should always be: Workplaces are no longer safe for illegals and cannot be used to harbor them.<\/p>\n<p>It should discourage employers from attempting to hire cheap undocumented labor, and it should force them to consider American citizens for these positions instead.<\/p>\n<p>Homan fired a shot across the bow of sanctuary cities as well, saying, &ldquo;We&rsquo;re enforcing immigration law every day. We&rsquo;ve got over a thousand teams on the streets every day across this country. And right now, we&rsquo;re concentrating on sanctuary cities, because that&rsquo;s where the problem is.
