‘Reign of Terror’: ICE Chief Says Immigrants Should Be Looking Over Their Shoulders
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Thomas Homan declared on Tuesday that the federal government “shouldn’t wait” for undocumented immigrants to commit a crime before they are detained, comments that were characterized by one immigrant rights activist as part of the “reign of terror“ President Donald Trump has unleashed in immigrant communities.
Homan added that undocumented residents in the U.S. “should be uncomfortable” and “looking over their shoulder[s],” concluding that “no population of persons” in the country illegally is safe from deportation.
“You should look over your shoulder,” he said, “and you need to be worried.”
The full quote from Homan, per that link from the Washington Post in “declared”, is
“If you’re in this country illegally, and you committed a crime by entering this country, you should be uncomfortable,†Homan said. “You should look over your shoulder.â€

Thomas D. Homan, the acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, told lawmakers at a hearing on Capitol Hill that the agency is churning out detainer requests, adding thousands of cases to its docket and deputizing an increasing number of local law enforcement agencies to help enforce federal immigration law.
People who are unlawfully present in the United States should be looking over their shoulders. They should be scared. More importantly, this “reign of terror” on lawbreakers sends a message to those who would attempt to come illegally to not bother.
