During a keynote speech at the Border Security Expo in Phoenix, Arizona, Tom Homan, the border czar, said "mass deportations are coming." 

With the expected surge in the number of U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement agents next year, he told the estimated 2,200 people in attendance, the historic number of deportations seen last year is going to increase. 

"You ain't seen (explicative) yet," Homan said, according to the Daily Signal

Homan remarked on New York's refusal to enter a 287(g) agreement with ICE, which delegates state or local law enforcement to handle some immigration authority duties. 

“We’re going to flood the zone. You’re going to see more [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] agents than you’ve seen before. You forced us into this position," Homan said.
