The appointment of former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) director Thomas Homan as Donald Trump's upcoming border czar continues to dominate the headlines, especially considering his fiery rhetoric and willingness to conduct swift operations from his first moment in office.
On Monday, Homan himself announced plans to increase workplace immigration raids as part of a broad crackdown and shares of private prison stocks such as The Geo Group and CoreCivic soared, fueled by investor expectations of increased demand for detention services and stricter immigration enforcement.
