Vance visits the U.S.-Mexico border to tout Trump’s immigration crackdown
LA TimesVice President JD Vance participated in an aerial tour of the U.S.-Mexico border on Wednesday and met with law enforcement officials as part of a trip meant to highlight tougher immigration policies that the White House says has led to dramatically fewer arrests for illegal crossings since Trump began his second term. Trump border czar Tom Homan said migrants with criminal records have been prioritized in early efforts to round up and deport people in the U.S. illegally, but he added of other migrants, “If you’re in the county illegally, you’re not off the table.” “When we find the bad guy, many times they’re with others, others who aren’t a criminal priority, but were in the country illegally,” Homan told reporters outside the White House on Tuesday. “They’re coming, too.” Since Trump’s second term began, about 6,500 new active duty forces have been ordered to deploy to the southern border. Harris made her first visit to the border in June 2021, about 3½ months deeper into Biden’s term than Vance’s trip in the opening weeks of Trump’s second term.
