Joanne Haner, The Hill, October 28, 2024

Former Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Thomas Homan said that “families can be deported” together as a solution to separating families when carrying out mass deportation.

In a “60 Minutes” interview Sunday night, Homan, who was ICE director for a part of former President Trump’s administration, spoke on the GOP candidate’s pledge to implement mass deportations.

When journalist Cecilia Vega asked, “Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without separating families?” Homan responded: “Of course there is. Families can be deported together.”
