Border czar Tom Homan promised Tuesday that the pause on U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement performing vehicle stops will not lower the rate of deportations.
Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin temporarily ordered ICE to cease conducting vehicle stops, causing some members of the MAGA movement to fear the Trump administration is taking its foot off the gas on deportations.
When asked by the Daily Signal if the pause would slow down the rate of deportations, Homan responded with an emphatic “no.”
“Let me address that: I’m sick and tired of reading about how the administration has lost their guts with mass deportations,” Homan said.

Homan said that ICE arrested a record number of illegal aliens in June.
“So, you know, people say ICE is not serious about this job.
Last month, [we had] the most aliens arrested in the history of the agency—more than last year, more than when you had the FBI, ATF, DEA, Border Patrol, and ICE all out there.”
He said deportation numbers dropped temporarily due to the Department of Homeland Security shutdown, which lasted from mid-February until the end of April.
“Bottom line is, once we got the funding, numbers are going through the ceiling, like President [Donald] Trump promised Americans,” Homan said.
The temporary pause on vehicle stops resulted from two ICE-involved shootings in Maine and Texas.
ICE officers fatally shot a 26-year-old Colombian as they were trying to pull over his vehicle in Biddeford, Maine.
Last Tuesday, an ICE officer fatally shot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, during a vehicle stop in Houston, Texas.
Homan said he is reviewing the “extensive” training curriculum for vehicle stops.
“I think what they’re doing is taking a pause to make sure that ICE officers have everything they need to stay safe, because vehicle attacks are up 3,400%,” he said.
“And they’re going to make sure if the training is sufficient.”
