ICE group praises Trump for Homan, Noem picks to lead immigration team: ‘Fired up’
In a groundbreaking development, the National ICE Officers Association, a law enforcement association comprised of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) employees, has thrown its weight behind President-elect Donald Trump’s selections for his immigration team in anticipation of a bold mass deportation plan. The association expressed its unwavering support for the appointment of former acting ICE Director Thomas Homan as border czar and the nomination of South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem to lead the Department of Homeland Security.
The association’s Executive Board, in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital, lauded Homan for his first-hand knowledge of the challenges faced by ICE agents and officers in ensuring community safety. The group also praised Governor Noem for her reputation as a tough leader who prioritizes the safety of her constituents.
Established this year, the National ICE Officers Association represents members of ICE serving in the agency’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) branch. The association is in the process of seeking exclusive union status within the agency.
As the Trump administration gears up to increase deportations of illegal immigrants across the United States, ICE is set to take center stage next year. The transition team is contemplating a substantial expansion of detention facilities to facilitate the operation, including increased bed capacity near major urban areas.
While Democratic officials in some states have voiced opposition to the administration’s deportation plans, certain Republican states, such as Texas, have pledged their support by offering land for mass deportation staging areas near the border. The stage is set for a contentious battle over immigration policy in the coming year.
Fox News Digital recently reported that President-elect Trump’s decision on who will lead ICE is imminent. The transition team is reportedly seeking a highly experienced law enforcement professional to head the agency.
