What is the "2025 Plan", and what are the differing opinions on it?: The 2025 Plan, authored by a group of conservatives, was labeled as highly authoritarian by Democrats.

Who is Tom Homan and what is his stated goal regarding immigration?: Tom Homan, the new border czar, stated his intention to fulfill Donald Trump's promise of the largest deportation operation in history. He called on Democratic governors to not obstruct deportation efforts and stated that his administration would proceed regardless of their cooperation.
