U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reportedly arrested 370 illegal aliens in Boston, Massachusetts, and surrounding areas this past week — after border czar Tom Homan previously promised to “bring hell” to Boston.

Regarding Boston, Homan also warned in November 2024 that “if you don’t want to work with us, then get the hell out of the way." We’re going to do it. What it means is, rather than sending 100 people to Boston, we’re going to send 200 agents to Boston. We’re going to get the job done.”

Homan said that the most recent joint operation lasted for 5-days and included multiple agencies, including ICE, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), a number of U.S. Marshals, and the U.S. Diplomatic Security Service.

“I made a promise at CPAC that I was going to Boston after reading about the numerous illegal alien child rapists walking the streets of Boston and Massachusetts. ICE had to find and arrest these illegal alien rapists because Massachusetts and Boston are sanctuaries that refuse to cooperate with ICE,” Homan wrote in a Monday X post.

“They would rather release these animals back into the community rather than honor ICE detainers or notify ICE when they are scheduled to be released.  Mayor Wu later testified that I was lying. Well, I traveled to Boston last Tuesday, as promised, and we kicked off a five-day operation with ICE, FBI, ATF, DEA, US Marshals and DSS. These incredible men and women arrested a total of 370 illegal aliens in Boston and surrounding areas.  The majority of the 370 being significant criminals,” he continued.

Homan went on to explain that out of the 370 arrests, six of them were “foreign fugitives” and four of them were “wanted for murder or to serve a criminal sentence for murder, along with drug traffickers, child sexual predators and numerous other violent public safety threats.”

“These officers and agents have made the neighborhoods of Boston and Massachusetts much safer.  They risked their own safety by arresting these criminals on the street, rather than a jail. Governor Healey and Mayor Wu should be ashamed of supporting sanctuary policies.  Releasing public safety threats back into the public, rather than working with ICE at the jails, puts the public at great risk,” Homan added.

Homan’s condemnation of Boston Democrat Mayor Michelle Wu followed after she slammed him for criticizing the city’s police commissioner, who had released nine child rapists from jail. Boston’s “sanctuary” status, according to Wu, is crucial to ensuring that illegals in the city feel at ease and are thriving.

“I read a story last night that the police commissioner of Boston, you said you’d double down on not helping ICE law enforcement officers of ICE. I’m coming to Boston. I’m bringing hell with me. I looked at the numbers this morning; I stopped counting at nine. Nine child rapists who were in jail in Massachusetts, but rather than honoring an ICE detainer, released them back onto the street. You’re not the police commissioner; take that badge off your chest and put it in the desk drawer. You became a politician,” Homan stated at the Conservative Political Action Conference in February.

“President Trump’s ‘all of government effort’ to arrest and remove the WORST FIRST is making our communities safer every day.  President Trump is a Game Changer who is keeping his promises to the American people. Much more to do, but it will be done!”

Stu calls for cautious optimism from Republicans but says the second Trump administration might Make America Great Again.

President-elect Donald Trump announced Sunday that he plans to appoint Thomas Homan as the next "border czar."

Trump made the announcement on his social media platform Truth Social.

"​​I’ve known Tom for a long time and there is nobody better at policing and controlling our Borders. Likewise, Tom Homan will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin. Congratulations to Tom. I have no doubt he will do a fantastic, and long awaited, job."

Trump added that the "border czar" position isn’t just for monitoring the U.S. southern border with Mexico, but also "the Northern Border, all Maritime, and Aviation Security. I’ve known Tom for a long time and there is nobody better at policing and controlling our Borders."

This comes less than a week after Trump secured his second presidency, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris, who was dubbed the "border czar" in the Biden administration.

Border security was a strong point of Trump’s first presidency, and it was a stalwart during both his 2020 and 2024 campaigns.

Illegal border crossings surged under the Biden administration, with nearly 3 million in fiscal year 2024, according to Homeland Security’s website. There have been more than 10.8 million illegal encounters since FY 2021.

Trump vowed during his campaign that he would once again take a hard-line approach to securing the border.

"It’s going to be a well-targeted, well-planned operation conducted by the men of ICE. The men and women of ICE do this daily. They’re good at it," Homan said during a Fox News interview on Sunday, adding that deportations would be a "humane operation."

Trump during his campaign referenced illegal immigrants as people fleeing countries that didn’t want them. He often said at his rallies that illegal immigrants flooded the U.S. with drugs and gangs, and that they became a hub for smuggling and human trafficking, saying they are "poisoning the blood of our country."

"They’re rough people, in many cases from jails, prisons, from mental institutions, insane asylums," Trump said. "You know, insane asylums, that’s ‘Silence of the Lambs’ stuff."

This is only the beginning of thousands of positions that need to be filled by his presidency. Trump has already announced that Susie Wiles, his co-campaign manager, will be the White House chief of staff.

Trump Taps Former ICE Director Tom Homan As ‘Border Czar’

President-elect Donald Trump revealed on Sunday night that he plans to appoint Tom Homan, who served as the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement between 2017 and 2018, as the next "border czar."

"I am pleased to announce that Former ICE Director and stalwart on Border Control, Tom Homan, will be joining the Trump Administration in charge of our Nation's Borders ("The Border Czar"), including, but not limited to, the Southern Border, the Northern Border, all Maritime, and Aviation Security," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Trump continued, "I've known Tom for a long time, and there is nobody better at policing and controlling our borders. Likewise, Tom Homan will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin." 

"Congratulations to Tom. I have no doubt he will do a fantastic, and long awaited for, job," Trump said.

In recent weeks, Homan gave one of the most balanced interviews on immigration to the far-left media outlet CBS News' 60 Minutes. When asked about the taxpayer cost of deporting millions of illegal aliens, he responded, "What price do you put on national security?"

At the Republican National Convention in July, Homan told Trump supporters: "I've got a message ... to all the illegal aliens in violation of federal law ... you better start packing now." 

Homan recently torched far-left activist lawmaker Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez while on The Hill.

While Homan secures the southern and northern borders and oversees the deportation of illegal aliens, there will be significant moves by the Trump administration to disrupt and destroy the dark money financial and trade networks that have sparked the horrific 100,000 US drug death overdose crisis per year caused by fentanyl and other drugs - much of which starts as precursor chemicals shipped from China, cooked into fentanyl by Mexican cartels, then flooded into the Lower 48.
