Steve Bannon Calls on Kristi Noem to Target Businesses Employing Illegal Aliens

Steve Bannon called on ICE to conduct high-profile raids on businesses that knowingly employ undocumented workers, urging the arrest and “perp walk” of CEOs and COOs to deter illegal hiring.

He pressed for expanded state and local cooperation under ICE’s 287(g) program—pointing to Florida’s model.
