Hannity calls for public input on future of immigration enforcement

Fox News host Sean Hannity in a recent segment called for the input of the American people on “what they want and what they don’t want” in terms of immigration enforcement.

“If you’re like me, you want border security, it’s already happened. Donald Trump achieved that,” Hannity said on Fox News . “He achieved a secure border.”

“It’s time to just ask the American people what they want and what they don’t want in terms of enforcement moving forward,” he added.

Hannity’s remarks come as Democrats seized control of the House and the Senate during a sweeping victory in the midterm elections, securing major wins in battleground states like Texas, Iowa, Maine, Michigan and Ohio.

On Wednesday , Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in a social media post that “ Deportations will continue .”

The Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration had been a central topic of conversation and debate ahead of the midterm elections. Democrats across the country have campaigned against the crackdown with some even calling to abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

In the weeks leading up to Election Day, the administration also escalated its efforts to stop noncitizens from voting in the midterms, with states like California and Washington coming under federal scrutiny for potentially having noncitizen voters in their respective states.

Mullin on Election Day posted on social platform X warning noncitizens against voting illegally.

“Illegal voter registration and illegal voting carry significant penalties of up to 5 years in prison and $250,000 maximum fine. Even if you have lawful immigration status—noncitizens who illegally vote are subject to deportation,” Mullin wrote in his post.

Federal law dictates that only U.S. citizens are permitted to vote in federal elections, according to a fact sheet from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

With recent moves like regulatory changes to H-1B visas , plans to revoke 200,000 temporary visas and increased ICE presence in sanctuary cities across the country, the Trump administration has continued to ramp up its efforts on cracking down on immigration.
