Tom Homan: I'll Be Happy Once We Have 100,000 ICE Detention Beds Available To Use
'I mean, I've been serious about this from day one. I said we need 100,000 beds at a minimum. Now that we're bringing more resources on, we've got big, beautiful bill passed, more agents are joining our forces, we need more beds. On any given day, there's days I wake up, we have 200, 300, maybe 400 beds that are empty, ready to go. We'll fill them in a day. So. We're always chasing our tail on this, so yeah, we need to bring on more facilities. I want there to be bigger facilities. A thousand beds are a great help, and I'm glad that governors are stepping up on this. But we really need some bigger facilities, 3,000 and 4,000 beds, makes it more efficient. It's a smoother operation, and have it right next to an airstrip so we can deport people quickly. But yeah, I'll be happy once we have 100,000 because I think that's the minimum we need, to actually execute the largest deportation operation in American history.'

Dean Cain, 'Superman' and Trump: What the actor turned ICE agent said about the president
With the latest Warner Bros. 'Superman' movie in theaters, the actor who once portrayed the 'Man of Steel' in the '90s revealed he is now a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent. Dean Cain, who played the fictional hero in the TV series 'Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman,' revealed the news in a Tuesday, Aug. 5 video posted across his social media platforms. 'I am a sworn law enforcement officer, as well as being a filmmaker, and I felt it was important to join with our first responders to help secure the safety of all,' Cain, 59, said. 'If you want to help save America, ICE is arresting the worst of the worst and removing them from America's streets. I like that. I voted for that.' Here's what he's previously said about President Donald Trump and the latest portrayal of 'Superman' starring David Corenswet, the most recent 'Man of Steel.' Opinion: Superman and the American flag once stood for same things. MAGA changed that. Latest 'woke' Superman Cain, whose comments come amid upped ICE scrutiny in recent months, recently criticized the direction Hollywood has taken Superman, calling its latest portrayal 'woke,' according to an interview with TMZ. The day the movie hit theaters, The White House released a photo of a fake movie poster depicting the president as Superman. 'I love President Trump. I've been friends with him forever,' Variety reported Cain said. 'Trump is actually one of the most empathetic, wonderful, generous people you'll ever meet.' During a June 10 interview on 'Piers Morgan Uncensored,' Cain called the new movie's recurring plot theme 'needs saving.' 'James Gunn and his decision to make Ma and Pa Kent the stupid rednecks. That's a choice,' Cain told Morgan. 'Superman has to be saved, like, repeatedly? Look, don't try and make it all woke and crazy. Keep that character as the way I like him as true justice and the American way.' USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Cain and ICE for comment.

‘South Park' mocks Noem, Vance in new episode
'South Park' on Wednesday night continued its satirical attacks on the Trump administration, with its latest episode taking aim at figures including the president, Vice President Vance and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem. The episode, dubbed 'Got a Nut,' depicts the school counselor, Mr. Mackey, who is terminated from his job at an elementary school, eventually joining Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Mackey watches a recruitment video where Noem refers to shooting her dog, then shows her shooting multiple dogs. Later in the episode, Noem is shown leading an immigration raid on a 'Dora the Explorer live concert, where she shoots a dog, and then a raid in heaven, where she tells agents to 'only detain the brown ones.' Mackey is later invited to Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, where the president offers to make him Noem's replacement, then invites the former school counselor into his bed with satan. Vance is depicted as a mini-sized Trump servant. After Trump gets annoyed with Vance in the episode, the president kicks him. 'Well, I've finally made it,' Vance said in a Thursday morning post on social media platform X, commenting on an image of his portrayal in the episode. 'South Park' and the administration have gone back-and-forth recently, with the sitcom jabbing DHS for using an image from the cartoon to help their ICE recruiting efforts. 'Wait, so we ARE relevant,' the show wrote on Tuesday on X, before telling DHS to 'eat a bag of d‑‑‑s.' 'We want to thank South Park for drawing attention to ICE law enforcement recruitment: We are calling on patriotic Americans to help us remove murderers, gang members, pedophiles, and other violent criminals from our country,' DHS said in a statement earlier this week.

FAIR Defends DHS's Decision to Terminate Sanctuary Funding
Shows local policies violate federal mandates, risk violating federal anti-harboring laws WASHINGTON, Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), America's largest public interest organization advocating for immigration enforcement and sensible migration policies, has filed a brief in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois supporting DHS's decision to terminate Shelter and Services Program (SSP) funding to sanctuary jurisdictions—including the City of Chicago, Pima County (Arizona), and the City and County of Denver. FAIR's brief argues that the plaintiffs lack standing and cannot demonstrate irreparable harm because their alleged injury—loss of SSP funds—stems directly from their own unlawful sanctuary policies. These policies violate the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution by obstructing federal immigration enforcement objectives enshrined in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), and by impeding federal officers in their duties. The plaintiffs' policies, such as Chicago's Welcoming City Ordinance, Pima County's restrictive measures, and Denver's Public Safety Enforcement Priorities Act, prohibit cooperation with federal immigration authorities (like sharing defendants' release dates or honoring ICE detainers). These sanctuary policies contravene federal mandates requiring information sharing, and risk violating federal anti-harboring laws. FAIR contends that there is no legally protected interest in perpetuating such unlawful conduct, and that equity bars the relief plaintiffs seek because such relief would preserve policies that frustrate federal law. 'Sanctuary policies undermine the rule of law and the federal government's constitutional authority to enforce our nation's immigration laws,' said Dale L. Wilcox, executive director and general counsel of FAIR. 'The Department of Homeland Security is entirely justified in withholding funds from jurisdictions that actively thwart federal efforts to secure our borders and protect public safety. These cities cannot expect taxpayer dollars to support policies that harbor illegal activity while claiming harm when those funds are rightfully cut off.' 'The plaintiffs' sanctuary policies are not only unlawful but also a direct affront to the cooperative framework Congress established for immigration enforcement,' said Mateo Forero, counsel of record for FAIR. 'Our brief demonstrates that these jurisdictions lack standing to challenge DHS's funding decision because their injury is self-inflicted. The Supremacy Clause and several provisions in the INA make clear that local governments cannot obstruct federal officers or withhold critical information—yet that is precisely what these policies do.' The case is City of Chicago v. Department of Homeland Security, No. 1:25-cv-5463 (N.D. Ill.). Contact: Ira Mehlman, [email protected], 213.700.0407 ABOUT FAIR Founded in 1979, FAIR is the country's largest immigration reform group. With over 3 million members and supporters nationwide, FAIR fights for immigration policies that serve national interests, not special interests. FAIR believes that immigration reform must enhance national security, improve the economy, protect jobs, preserve our environment, and establish a rule of law that is recognized and enforced.
