Trump border czar floats halfway houses for children of migrants

Source: The Hill

12/26/24 1:10 PM ET


President-elect Trump’s “border czar” Tom Homan said in a Thursday interview that halfway homes for children of non-U.S. citizens may be a necessary part of Trump’s plans for mass deportation of immigrants lacking permanent legal status.

“As far as U.S. children — children, that’s going to be a difficult situation, because we’re not going to detain your U.S. citizen children, which means, you know, they’re going to be put in a halfway house,” Homan told NewsNation’s Ali Bradley. “They can — or they can stay at home and wait for the officers to get the travel arrangements and come back to get the family,” he added.

Homan confirmed this week that a return of family detention centers will be a part of Trump’s mass deportation efforts, which the president-elect has said will be the largest in history.

Trump has threatened to deport every single person in the U.S. illegally, as well as going after the status of many currently here in accordance with the law. In response to accusations that the process will inevitably prove cruel and inhumane, Homan has suggested that multi-status families “self-deport” in lieu of facing ramped up immigration authority.

What’s the story going to be on day 857? 1242?

The Plan. Blame Biden when we fail. Because that’s what we do.

I don't hold much hope that the incoming Oligarch Administration has anyone's best interests at heart. Definitely not unprotected children's interests.

4. Translation: they want to hold the kids as hostages to insure the parents do as they are told.

Jeff Sessions did this kind of shit in the first Trump presidency. I think a lot of the children never made it back to their families. Correct me if I'm wrong about that.

5. I'm wondering if Republicans are going to be putting these kids up for sale.

I could see Trump offering them up as Trump Kids, like Trump Steaks, Trump Vodka and all the other stuff he peddles to make a buck.
