Donald Trump and his new border czar, Tom Homan, will begin their work to deport ‘millions’ of immigrants on their first day in the White House.
Starting with the asylum applications used by immigrants to obtain interviews and then targeting the super gangs terrorizing American cities, the pair is defining who will be targeted for removal from the country.
Daily Mail spoke to sources across the country who outlined exactly how they plan to do it.
President-elect Donald Trump named Tom Homan, pictured above, as his new border czar. Homan served as director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, during Trump’s first term.
THE FIRST OBJECTIVES
After being sworn in on Jan. 20, President Donald Trump will immediately eliminate the CBP One Mobile app program, billed as the “legal way” for migrants at the southern border to request an asylum interview at a port of entry, according to sources close to Trump’s transition team.
The program handles 1,450 asylum requests per day along the entire border between the United States and Mexico.
“They are going to close the border immediately,” Rolando Vásquez, a regular immigration attorney for Mar-a-Lago and Miami, told DailyMail.com.

Several Trump insiders also shared that there are many other routes to the United States, such as asylum requests made by immigrants who enter the border illegally and the controversial CHNV Probation Program for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans it will cease.
‘Immediately, immediately, all that is going to end. “Those will be the first objectives,” explained Vásquez.
NO MORE FALSE ASYLUM APPLICATIONS
Trump’s newly appointed ‘Border Czar’ Tom Homan has expressed particular interest in expelling asylum seekers, who he believes are deceiving the legal system.
The United States is obliged to hear asylum requests, although among Between 60 and 70 percent of all cases are ultimately dismissed. by the courts.
“The only group they immediately target are the bogus asylum seekers,” prominent San Antonio Republican Kyle Sinclair shared of his conversations with Homan.
‘That was by far the only (group) he mentioned to me: the false asylum seekers.
They are known. They have their addresses.
END CITIZENSHIP BY GENEOGISM
Homan has also been telling his supporters that he is looking for ways to end birthright citizenship, guaranteed by the 14th Amendment to the Constitution that grants automatic citizenship to anyone born on American soil.
“He has mentioned that he is going to end birthright citizenship,” Vásquez added.
“Just because someone was born here doesn’t automatically make them a citizen.”
Migrants wait between barbed wire near the US border wall as they try to enter El Paso, Texas, on May 26.
It’s unclear how Homan and the Trump administration would navigate the constitutional protections and legal challenges that would arise from any change to birthright citizenship, with Vasquez saying only that “the way he’s going to approach it is different.”
For years, some Republicans have attacked so-called “anchor babies”: children born in the United States to illegal immigrant or other noncitizen parents.
“Trump won because of his ‘America First’ agenda,” Sinclair said.
‘We want to be taken care of and by allowing millions of people into the United States, no other country does this.
Trump has every right, under the executive order, to try to comply with what he is doing.
RESTORING THE PROGRAM REMAINS IN MEXICO
The new border czar intends to bring back the controversial ‘remain in Mexico’ or Migrant Protection Protocols program, which says asylum seekers must wait in Mexico until their hearing date instead of being granted entry to USA.
“The MPP will work again,” Vásquez said.
“I’m sure they will attack it differently because there has been a lot of litigation regarding the MMP, so when they implement it, they will take into account everything that happened in the judicial system.”
Trump launched the policy in 2019, when he was last in office.
Biden, echoing complaints from human rights groups that the policy was leading to a rise in cases of rape and kidnapping, promised to end it.
‘Donald Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy is dangerous, inhumane and goes against everything we stand for as a nation of immigrants.
“My administration will put an end to this,” he tweeted in 2020, before making good on his promise.
Mexico has consistently resisted the effort.
ENDING OF TEMPORARY PROTECTED STATUS
Temporary Protected Status (TPS), a program that has allowed thousands of newly arrived immigrants, including Venezuelans and Haitians, will likely be allowed to expire.
If a migrant is granted TPS, they are allowed to remain legally in the US and are granted a work permit for 18 months.
Vásquez had not heard of plans to take it away from people who already have it, but rather let the program expire and expel immigrants when their protection runs out.
He first went to the city manager about two weeks ago to ask about TdA after firefighters who respond to emergencies in the area where the gang operates became concerned for his safety.
Widespread raids on businesses or other workplaces are not being discussed, mainly because many of the immigrants who will initially be subject to removal from the country are already known to the government.
Any migrant in the process of applying for asylum, with TPS or parole status has been given permission to be in the United States temporarily, and the feds already have their addresses and whereabouts.
Many are required to register with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and/or have regular court dates.
Between expelling migrants who arrived during the Biden administration, Trump’s border czar plans to go after a second group.
SHUT DOWN THE SUPER GANGS
‘They are behind the Aragua Train,’ explained Vásquez. ‘They are going to persecute them and they are going to persecute the Mexican cartels.
The Venezuelan super gang, known as TdA by authorities, is a vicious prison gang turned international criminal organization.
His thugs crossed the border mixed with asylum seekers and have been linked to a nationwide crime wave, including police beatings, murders, child prostitution and violent robberies.
Part of the plan is to specifically target migrant super gangs like the Tren de Aragua.
“These are very dangerous people,” said the lawyer, who was one of the first in the United States to sound the alarm about TdA.
‘I’ve spoken to so many Homeland Security Investigation agents who are eager to get back to work. “During this (Biden) administration, there has been so much bureaucracy: agents have not been able to do their jobs.”
During the presidential campaign, TdA dominated headlines after authorities made it known that the gang had control of entire apartment complexes in cities such as Aurora, Colorado, and San Antonio, Texas.
‘It’s time. We need to clean our communities,’ Vásquez added. ‘We have our own criminals to deal with. We cannot accommodate all criminals from all over the world.
Homan also targets members of the Chinese Communist Party and other immigrant gangs, such as MS-13.
ENLIST THE POLICE AND THE MILITARY
Insiders have been reluctant to go into detail about whether the Trump Administration even has the manpower to deport millions of people, although suggestions have been floated to use local military and police departments.
“Trump won because of his ‘America First’ agenda,” said Kyle Sinclair, vice chairman of the Bexar County Republican Party in Texas.
Each immigration program that Trump proposes to end is legally complex and will undoubtedly face court challenges from the left.
Then there are issues with deporting people, such as whether U.S. citizens or residents could be caught up in mass deportations.
On top of that, countries like Venezuela and China, whose citizens have flooded the U.S. border and courts with asylum requests, have no diplomatic relations with the United States, making the return of their citizens nearly impossible.
No other country, like Mexico, is obliged to accept immigrants from other countries: only its own citizens.
But Vásquez believes Trump’s brash brand of international relations can help convince those countries to work with him.
“I know that he is going to take action in Venezuela and that he will do everything necessary for these people to get their people back,” Vásquez said.
