The View‘s Sara Haines called U.S. “border czar” Tom Homan‘s conducting of nationwide immigration raids “disturbing.”
In an interview with ABC News chief global affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz, Homan said anyone in the country illegal was “on the table” for deportation.
“Is this the immigration system ‘fix’ that people had in mind when they voted?” co-host Whoopi Goldberg asked The View’s panel on Monday.
“Well, it’s hard to tell at this table because no one voted for him,” Haines quipped.
She added, “It’s kind of — it’s disturbing what we’re seeing.”
Haines went on to state that former President Barack Obama had been “the deported in chief,” comparing his immigration efforts to the Trump administration’s now in its second week in office, calling the current efforts merely “meant to be a PR campaign.”
“It’s meant to scare people,” she continued. “That’s what they’re doing right now. When you look at these flights where they are deporting people back to their origination, and we don’t know who they are, and that’s where I would like to see more transparency.”
“If indeed right now everyone on these flights is a violent criminal, I think we can all agree everyone thinks they should leave the country. We were saying that this morning. It’s common sense, but what we’re not getting is a breakdown of who these people are,” Haines argued.

The View host maintained that people deserved to know who is being deported and why.
“They said that they had nabbed more than 300 illegal migrant criminals, including one attempted murderer and one child molester. What about the other 298? What was their crime?” Haines asked. “Because I think either you own the fact that these are all violent criminals and break down who these people are and what their crime was and tell the American people, or tell us what they really are, and let us have a healthy debate over the disagreement of how this is being carried out.”
