Kenneth Genalo, head of Enforcement and Removal Operations for ICE in New York, explained that targeted enforcement is key, stating, "We don't grab people and then take them to JFK and put them on a plane." This highlights the complexity of immigration operations, where misconceptions about mass arrests prevail despite the focus on individual cases.
With Donald Trump returning to the White House, concerns rise about the balance between his mass deportation pledge and the operational realities for ICE agents, as they face a backlog of targets that exceeds their manpower.
Tom Homan, the incoming 'border czar', suggests a shift in priorities under Trump, stating, 'If you're in the country illegally, you got a problem,' which indicates potential for broader enforcement while still focusing on public safety.
The Biden administration's approach to deportation was narrower, concentrating on public safety threats and recent border crossers, contrasting the upcoming policies that may push for a more aggressive stance on illegal immigration.
