Trump deportations would remove families 'together,' says former ICE director

Former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Tom Homan dismissed concerns of separating families through mass deportations, suggesting they can be “deported together.”

Former President Donald Trump, as part of his campaign platform, said if elected, massive deportations of illegal immigrants would take place. Earlier this year, during his Republican National Convention speech, Homan echoed the message that people who unlawfully entered the country “better start packing.” While previewing Trump’s plan for these deportations, Homan was asked if it was possible for illegal immigrants to be deported without also getting separated from their families.
