Trump border aide says targeted immigration actions underway, refugees need vetting
The Trump administration is carrying out targeted immigration enforcement actions, the White House border czar tells CNN, adding that a now-suspended program for refugees needs examination before it can continue.
Tom Homan gives no details about what operations were underway, saying only that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement was enforcing the law. Asked about the suspension of a program for refugees from Afghanistan and elsewhere, Homan tells CNN there was “a massive vetting problem” that needed to be addressed.
