Trump's 'border czar' says worksite immigration raids will continue but criminals will be prioritized

White House border czar Tom Homan said Thursday that the Trump administration will continue to conduct immigration raids at worksites, including farms and hotels, but that criminals will be prioritized.

WASHINGTON — White House “border czar” Tom Homan said Thursday that the Trump administration will continue to conduct immigration raids at worksites, including farms and hotels but that criminals will be prioritized.

Speaking to reporters, he clarified U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's policy at worksites after the Department of Homeland Security said this week it was reversing recent guidance that called for a pause on operations at those places.

“The message is clear now that we’re going to continue doing worksite enforcement operations, even on farms and hotels, but based on a prioritized basis. Criminals come first,” Homan said.

The Trump administration is focusing resources on so-called sanctuary cities, he said, because “they knowingly release public safety threats, illegal aliens to the community every day.”

When asked why ICE directed its agents last week to hold off on investigations of farms and hotels, Homan dodged the question saying, "Worksite enforcement operations is an important part of the work we do."
