And so I think this signals that, you know, Homan is going to retain a lot of influence at DHS this year.
And, you know, what has been Homan's job since the president put him in charge of Minneapolis after the debacle there?
You know, Homan has been trying to turn down the temperature.
He's been trying to make, you know, these kind of conciliatory statements.
He's been trying to reassure Americans that, you know, the uglier scenes that have been politically damaging to the White House and the president's deportation agenda.
are going to go away.
And that's why you saw Mark Wayne Mullen during his confirmation hearing say, look, in six months, my goal is for DHS not to be the headlines every day.
And so this is about delivering on the president's mass deportation agenda, but more quietly, you know, without the kind of spectacle that the Nome team has been producing.
Yes and no.
I mean, you know, what I'm talking about is a tactical change in the politics of immigration enforcement.
In the visuals or the politics?
In both.
In the visuals and the way that it's talked about, right?
I mean, during Nome, we saw the public affairs office of the Department of Homeland Security
Issuing these like weird white nationalist tweets, you know, about American history and culture and, you know, nativism, delivering these sermons on, you know, what Americans should think about their history.
I mean, just this kind of stuff that is just way out, you know, outside the norms.
I don't think we're going to see that anymore, at least this year.
I mean, I think that we are moving into a second year midterm political strategy that seeks to produce high numbers of deportations so the White House can point to results and say, look, I'm doing the thing that I said I was going to do, that President Trump said he was going to do.
but no longer is as geared to satisfying the president's base and the most hawkish, you know, right-wing forces that delighted in the scenes of ICE agents and Border Patrol agents going around these liberal cities and kicking ass.
The politics of that have changed.
