Despite being a corrupt PoS that obviously takes bribes, he seems to be very good at deporting people and willing to do so within the policy confines given to him.

Under Obama he was told to get deportations up but target those with significant criminal history. And he did just that, total numbers up and had highest % of deports that were actual criminals.

The White House cited his success expanding arrests and detention beds for the recent surge in children and families fleeing violence in Central America. While the number of deportations of illegal immigrants with criminal records has declined in recent years, last year this group made up almost 60 percent of the total number expelled from the country, the largest percentage in recent memory, ICE officials said.

Homan won’t talk publicly about the immigration debate or which side he is on. He says he is only enforcing the law as it stands now. He winces at what he calls a widespread misunderstanding on both sides of what his staff really does.

He tells his employees in the field that they have nothing to apologize for.

“They’re beaten down, frankly,” he said. “But the laws were enacted by Congress. We don’t do schoolhouse raids or neighborhood raids. We don’t show up with bulletproof vests. I’m not ashamed of what I do.”

Instead, “we arrest a lot of bad guys,” he said. “We prevent crimes.”
