Planned Enforcement Actions

Criticism and Concerns

 He has also pushed back against suggestions of massive neighborhood raids or the construction of concentration camps

Implications

The "shock and awe" rhetoric employed by Homan reflects the Trump administration's hardline stance on immigration. While it may appeal to Trump's base, it has raised concerns about the potential for human rights violations, family separations, and the economic impact of mass deportations. As the incoming border czar, Homan's approach will likely shape the implementation of Trump's immigration policies in the coming years.

RED FLAG
Checkpoint Charlie: NATO, Article 5 and the Berlin Wall

There was no North American Treaty Organization, NATO, immediately following the close of World War Two. By the close of the decade, due to pressure from the Soviet Union, particularly in Germany, the alliance was formed with 12 initial members.

The recent statement by the White House concerning a “bilateral” treaty between the United States and Japan from 1960 raised the issue of the former’s lack of a security-military commitment, with the latter doing the heavy lifting. It comes as no surprise in light of other treaties such as NATO in Europe with the U.S. again carrying The Weight.
Part and parcel to how it all unfolded had to do with certain ambiguous positions by the two nations coupled with the American public not totally informed of the agreement. The situation was quite different in Japan. (09 March 2025)
