Tom Homan, the incoming Border Czar, revealed plans to restructure immigration enforcement operations by outsourcing non-essential duties during a recent broadcast. His strategy focuses on maximizing the deployment of law enforcement personnel for deportation operations.

“My plan is… we’re going to contract as much work out as we can, work that doesn’t require a badge and a gun, because I need badges and guns on the street to do the deportation operation,” Homan stated. “So, when it comes to driving a bus, transportation, whether it’s ground or air, whether it’s processing, whether it’s other administrative duties, contract that work out, because right now, we’ve got badges and guns doing that work. Get them out of that administrative work, put more on the street, and that’s what we’re going to do. And if these sanctuary states and cities keep pushing back, I’ll have the extra resources to double manpower in those sanctuary cities.”

The restructuring initiative aims to delegate administrative tasks, including transportation services, processing duties, and other non-enforcement responsibilities to contractors. This reallocation will enable trained agents to focus on field operations, particularly in sanctuary jurisdictions. Homan highlighted that this approach would also enhance officer safety, noting that operations conducted outside detention facilities require team-based deployment rather than individual agent responses.
