特朗普政府重申，只要居住在美国的非法移民符合条件就会被驱逐，其打击行动最初侧重于驱逐”最恶劣的暴力非法移民”。
“总统的整个团队，包括边境负责人汤姆·霍曼和诺姆部长，在实施其议程方面目标一致——该议程始终侧重于优先处理最恶劣的犯罪非法外国人——而成功的驱逐行动和历史上最安全的边境证明了这一点，”白宫发言人阿比盖尔·杰克逊周二告诉福克斯新闻数字版。
“一如既往，任何在该国非法居留的人都有被驱逐的资格，”她补充道。”特朗普总统正在兑现他的承诺，开展历史上规模最大的大规模驱逐行动。”
作为唐纳德·特朗普总统对拜登政府执政期间席卷美国的移民危机采取的打击行动的一部分，政府（最值得注意的是国土安全部内的部门）正在进行持续的逮捕和驱逐工作。

官员们越来越聚焦于暴力非法移民是优先逮捕对象的信息，而针对所有非法移民的更广泛大规模驱逐行动已从前沿位置退居次要。
例如，边境负责人汤姆·霍曼在6月接受全国广播公司新闻采访时（该采访周一才公布）表示，如果不优先逮捕和驱逐”犯罪非法外国人”而不是其他非法移民，就有失去”美国人民信任”的风险。

“我认为绝大多数美国民众认为犯罪非法外国人需要离开，”霍曼在6月接受全国广播公司新闻采访时表示。”如果我们坚持这种优先次序，我认为我们能继续获得美国民众的信任。”
“而且我认为，我们做得越多，美国民众就会越支持特朗普总统的做法。我们必须这样做，而且必须以人道的方式进行。”
霍曼在其他公开讲话中表示，”对犯罪外国人的优先处理并不意味着我们忘记其他人”，并且”如果你非法居留在美国，你就不会被排除在外。”

“特朗普政府将继续专注于驱逐所有在我国境内的非法外国人，重点是最恶劣的罪犯，”她周二表示。
特朗普政府和竞选团队历史上一直将驱逐暴力非法移民作为首要任务，但此类言论往往伴随着这样的信息：在特朗普任下所有非法移民都将面临驱逐。

例如，特朗普在2024年12月的一次采访中表示，如果整个家庭非法居留，”我们将把他们全部送回原国家”，这次采访中还包括当时的总统当选人抨击那些从”发送杀人犯”和”精神病人”到美国的国家。

“第一，我们在处理罪犯，而且会非常迅速地处理他们，”特朗普在2024年12月的另一次采访中表示，为其政府的移民政策铺路。”我们正在打击最恶劣的帮派，可能包括MS-13组织，而委内瑞拉帮派是世界上最恶劣的。他们是凶残、暴力的人。”
2025年，从华盛顿特区到洛杉矶再到明尼阿波利斯，移民突袭和行动在多个城市展开后，政府面临来自民主党人和其他批评者的越来越多的审查。
2026年初，在 agitators（煽动者）走上双城街头抗议并对抗联邦执法人员的情况下，明尼阿波利斯的抗议活动达到高潮，这尤其发生在1月移民官员开枪打死两名美国人之后。

政府多次表示不会在明尼阿波利斯退缩。
官员们扩大了与当地执法部门（特别是监狱）的协调，以接管已被拘留的非法移民，允许在设施内而非社区中进行逮捕，从而减少了实地所需的警员数量。
Trump administration says focus remains on ‘worst of the worst’ criminals while maintaining broader deportation mission

The Trump White House reiterated that anyone residing in the U.S. illegally is eligible for deportation as its crackdown continues to initially focus on removing “the worst of the worst” violent illegal immigrants.
“The president’s entire team, including border czar Tom Homan and Secretary Noem, are on the same page when it comes to implementing his agenda — which has always focused on prioritizing the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens — and the successful deportations and historically secure border proves that,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital Tuesday.
“As always, anyone in the country illegally is eligible to be deported,” she added. “President Trump is keeping his promise to carry out the largest mass deportation operation in history.”
The administration, most notably offices within the Department of Homeland Security, are in the midst of ongoing arrest and deportation efforts as part of President Donald Trump’s crackdown on the immigration crisis that rocked the U.S. under the Biden administration.

Officials increasingly have zeroed in on messaging that violent illegal immigrants are the top priority for apprehension, while broader mass-deportation efforts targeting all illegal immigrants have faded from the forefront.
Border czar Tom Homan, for example, told NBC News in June in an interview only released Monday that failure to prioritize arresting and deporting “criminal illegal aliens” over other illegal immigrants risks losing the “faith of the American people.”

“I think the vast majority of the American people think criminal illegal aliens need to leave,” Homan said in an interview with NBC News in June. “And if we stick to that prioritization, I think we keep the faith of the American people.”
“And I think the more we do that, the more the American people will support what President Trump’s doing. We got to do it and we’ve got to do it in a humane manner.”
Homan has said in other public remarks that the “prioritization of criminal aliens doesn’t mean we forget about everyone else,” and that “If you are in the country illegally, you are not off the table.”

“The Trump administration will continue our focus on deporting all illegal aliens present in our country, with a focus on the worst of the worst criminals,” she said Tuesday.
The Trump administration and campaign historically focused on deporting violent illegal immigrants as the first order of business, but such comments were often coupled with messaging that all illegal immigrants would face deportation under Trump.

Trump, for example, said in December 2024 that “we will send the whole family back to the country” if they were illegal in an interview that also included the then president-elect railing against countries who sent “murderers” from and “people from mental institutions” to the U.S.

“Number one, we’re doing criminals and we’re going to do them really rapidly,” Trump said in another interview in December 2024, teeing up his administration’s immigration policies. “We’re getting the worst gang probably with MS-13 and the Venezuelan gangs are the worst in the world. They’re vicious, violent people.”
The administration has faced growing scrutiny from Democrats and other critics following the launch of immigration raids and operations in cities from Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles to Minneapolis in 2025.
The protests hit a fever pitch in Minneapolis earlier in 2026 as agitators took to the streets of the Twin Cities to speak out against and confront federal law enforcement officers, most notably following the fatal shootings of two Americans by immigration officials in January.

The administration has repeatedly said it is not backing down in Minneapolis.
Officials have expanded coordination with local law enforcement — particularly jails — to take custody of illegal immigrants already detained, allowing arrests at facilities rather than in neighborhoods and requiring fewer officers on the ground.
