(NewsNation) — After a series of deadly confrontations involving ICE activities, Border Czar Tom Homan will answer questions about what will or won’t change in ICE operations.
Homan will answer those questions on NewsNation’s “Katie Pavlich Tonight,” which airs at 10 p.m. EDT Wednesday.
Deadly shootings, changing policy announcements
On July 7 in Houston, an ICE officer shot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national, in a traffic stop. The officer said Araujo “weaponized” the vehicle.
Six days later, an ICE officer killed a driver in Biddeford, Maine. That driver, Johan Sebastian Guerrero, was from Colombia.
Neither man was an intended target of ICE operations, officials said.
Last week, Homan said ICE would suspend traffic stops while procedures were reviewed. The next day, President Donald Trump said traffic stops were vital law enforcement procedures and would resume immediately.
Why no cameras?
In both shootings, ICE officers were not wearing body cameras.
Homan said over the weekend, going forward, all traffic stops would require at least one officer to be wearing a camera. He said the cameras have been purchased and training is underway.
ICE first launched a body camera program in select cities in 2024, but officials, including former Department of Homeland Security leader Kristi Noem, have previously said rollout nationwide was slowed by funding issues, including the partial government shutdown earlier this year.
New York ICE surge
Homan is also expected to talk about the changes coming to New York City, where he said more officers are being deployed. While he hasn’t said how many officers will arrive or where exactly they will be, he said it is necessary because of New York’s sanctuary policies.
Homan said the surge was planned before Monday’s attack at a federal building that houses ICE and other government offices. 43-year-old Andrew Arrabaca was arrested. He’s accused of pouring gasoline on the steps, then using fireworks to ignite the gasoline.
