President-elect Trump’s pick to lead ICE beginning in 2025, spoke to several groups of supporters at different stops in the Chicago-land area Monday. Attorney Heiderscheidt attended both speeches. Homan repeated oft-used mantras about separating mixed-status families and deporting “illegal” criminal aliens. Homan stated that TPS for Venezuelans likely would be rescinded and called into question US asylum laws, alleging that 90% of claims result in a removal order rather than a grant of asylum or refugee status. “It wasn’t unexpected to hear some of these policy statements, but there were also glimmers of hope for some families,” John Heiderscheidt, Owner and Managing Attorney of Subscription Lawyer said, “Homan denied having the appetite to deploy military personnel to accomplish mass deportations. He also denied that immigration courts would be closed, leaving the door open for some due process rights, at least for non-criminals.” The incoming Presidential administration continues to make major changes in immigration law a top priority.
