The incoming Trump administration, under the direction of border czar Thomas Homan, is preparing to launch what it has described as the largest deportation operation in U.S. history. The initiative is slated to begin on Inauguration Day, targeting undocumented immigrants nationwide and Homan himself outlined the plan during an interview with CNN's Kaitlan Collins, emphasizing the need for significant resources and congressional support.
Homan said he will need a minimum of 100,000 beds to detain undocumented immigrants – more than doubling the 40,000 detention beds ICE is currently funded for. "I'm not going to put a limit on it," Homan said. "I'm going to tell you, at a minimum, we need 100,000 beds because we got a big population to look for," referring to the estimated 700,000 migrants who are in the country illegally and have committed a crime.
