Trump 2nd term updates: Trump attends the Super Bowl

In an exclusive interview with ABC News Live, Trump administration border czar Tom Homan detailed the recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids.

"Look, I'm looking at numbers this morning, about 14,000 arrests, and about 76% of them are criminals," he told ABC News' Kyra Phillips and Terry Moran when asked about how many arrests involve people with criminal records other than an illegal entry.

"We're not going to neighborhoods looking for people different than us. These are well-planned, investigated leads," he added.

When asked if the U.S. military could get involved if cartels strike, Homan replied, "Yes, and we expect them to," later adding that U.S. troops "need to protect themselves."

Homan then delivered a strong warning to cartels, saying Trump "is strong enough -- he has the ability to wipe them off the face of the Earth."

The border czar also argued that many migrants are making "fraudulent" asylum claims, asking, "What country is dangerous?" and saying, "They’re really not escaping fear of persecution."

When pressed about how to help those seeking asylum, Homan replied, "What you don’t do to claim asylum is come to the country illegally. You go to a port of entry."

A second C-17 flight carrying migrants from El Paso, Texas, to the base at Guantanamo Bay is in the air, two U.S. officials told ABC News.

There are 13 aboard, and they are expected to be held in the same secure facility as the 10 who arrived on Tuesday, according to one of the officials.

In a press conference in the Dominican Republic, Secretary of State Marco Rubio denied there was any confusion over waiving fees for U.S. government ships transiting the Panama Canal.

"I'm not confused about Panama," he said. "I respect very much that Panama has a process. They're a democratically elected government, they have rules, they have laws. They're going to follow their process, but our expectations remain the same."

Rubio also argued that the United States' obligation to protect the waterway underscored the argument for lifting fees on American Navy vessels.

Following a federal judge's decision to block the implementation of the "Fork in the Road" buyout offer until Monday afternoon, the White House said it is "grateful" more federal workers can take the administration up on its "once-in-a-lifetime offer."

"We are grateful to the Judge for extending the deadline so more federal workers who refuse to show up to the office can take the Administration up on this very generous, once-in-a-lifetime offer," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement sent to ABC News.
