Tom Homan answers how many more deportations needed to restore country: 'One hell of a shot'

Asked how many more deportations are needed, Homan said, "Millions. Look … I see it all the time, there's 12 million illegal aliens in the country, we used 12 million 25 years ago, I think its well over 20 million. So, we're going to do everything we can to arrest as many people as we can."

Pressed on whether the logistics of such large-scale deportation operations are possible, Homan responded, "I'll give it one hell of a shot."

"I mean, bottom line is we're not going to give up on President Trump's promise to the American people on mass deportations," he continued.

Homan confirmed that the administration is hiring 10,000 more immigration enforcement agents. He said there are about 7,000 "on board" and 3,000 more going through training.

He responded to Hochul's claim that federal agents aren't welcome in her state without permission and that she is not asking for help, by saying, "Well, Governor Hochul, I'm not asking either. I said it. We're going to do it."

"This is what we have to do because she forces this position. And we're going to do it. They're not going to stop us. They can put all the roadblocks they want, but we're [going to] do this job," he said.
