WATCH: Border Czar Tom Homan Announces End to Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota, After Weeks of Violent Leftist Protests | The ...
White House Border Czar Tom Homan held a press conference Thursday morning, announcing that the Trump administration is ending its aggressive immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota.
I notice the comments are almost universal in their condemnation of Homan not going hard enough.
I have a pragmatic view of this. Keep in mind that Homan has served both kines of prez. That is: he is a political agnostic.
I just see it as: Homan has more fish to fry, for example - California, and he has implemented an arrest-upon-release-from-the-jail situation. So, right at the coal-face, where the Police and ICE OBVIOUSLY need to co-operate and communicate. Plus, ICE have arrested thousands already, and this will have plenty of good effects that are yet to be realized by the general population.
All everyone feels right now, is the outrage at armed officials and also protestors in the streets.
So, there is a great benefit to letting everything cool down now. Ultimately, the strategy is to return back to normal, but with some improvement to the system, and especially the interaction between systems, so that the situation does not backslide again.
And he ain't done
Also, with geofencing mobiles, they can now find the gypsy protestors in the next field of operations.
Good thinking. Although I like the idea of "No Somali left behind," as in DEPORT THEM ALL, EVEN THOSE WITH CITIZENSHIP. Revoke their citizenship. Let them wave their Somalian flag in Somalia. Plus everything is halal there. They should be a lot happier there.
I get the impression this surge had as much to do with gathering intel on the paid agitator operation as it did with grabbing illegal immigrant criminals. The fact Homan was able to quickly negotiate with local authorities to work with ICE suggests he came to town with leverage.
I would do the same. Make an announcement that we are leaving then continue the operation normally.
I'm thinking one of Homan's assignments was to distract from the ongoing fraud investigations. Now, even though Homan's Heroes are moving on, the investigations continue.
