On November 11, Tom Homan, President-elect Trump’s newly appointed “border czar,” responded to claims from The View that the Trump administration would deport U.S. citizens as part of its mass deportation plan. Co-host Ana Navarro had suggested that U.S. citizens could be deported if their parents were undocumented.

Homan dismissed the idea, calling The View “an island of misfit toys” and stating, “They don’t know what they’re talking about.” He clarified that the focus of the Trump administration would be on public safety and national security, not deporting U.S. citizens. Homan emphasized that the administration would prioritize criminal illegal immigrants, including over 1.5 million convicted criminals and thousands of gang members.
