“Border czar” Tom Homan said the incoming administration is reconsidering plans for an immigration enforcement blitz in Chicago next week after preliminary details leaked.

President-elect Donald Trump’s handpicked “border czar” Tom Homan said in an interview Saturday that the incoming administration is reconsidering whether to launch immigration raids in Chicago next week after preliminary details leaked out in news reports.

Homan, the former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, told The Washington Post that the new administration “hasn’t made a decision yet.”

“We’re looking at this leak and will make a decision based on this leak,” Homan said. “It’s unfortunate because anyone leaking law enforcement operations puts officers at greater risk.”

3. They are waiting for Chicago to offer a big bribe?

4. They are already out of control.

“We’re looking at this leak and will make a decision based on this leak,” Homan said. “It’s unfortunate because anyone leaking law enforcement operations puts officers at greater risk.”

???? Law enforcement operations that they don't possess any authority to implement yet.

8. This may be indicative of good news . . .

I don't believe for a moment their concerns are with LEOs at risk. They undoubtedly got a lot of negative flack for this whack job and that is what caused the reassessment.

They've been looking to do something for months now. Are we truly to believe they're going to put the kibosh to their plans out of fear a few LEOs will be hurt? No, I suspect there's been more than a little pressure put on them by politicians and monied-interests from both parties, and they've decided on a little more cautious approach.

9. They lost the element of surprise.

It's all downhill from there.

10. My guess is they will do this after some time

when his maga base see that their life still sucks and Trump is prioritizing what the wealthy want.

To quiet them down they will do some public raids .

13. It was a rhetorical question. Yup, I know it's part of Trump's post-inaugural revenge orgy.

The tariffs will work the same way. His money bros will all get exemptions from the tariffs.

14. Is Chicago their Fort Sumter? nt

[murielm99]

15. Maybe they will do this in two weeks.

Maybe they only have concept of a raid so far.

[Hotler]

17. That's right. I was giving them too much credit. nt

18. What about the giant pork processing plants in Iowa and South Dakota
