Border Czar Tom Homan spoke to reporters outside the White House for about 10 minutes.

Homan said he "cannot judge" a series of arcade-style video games the White House launched to promote Trump's agenda, including a game about Border Patrol picking up migrants along the border. "I haven't seen it," he said.

He said he does not know what the administration is planning regarding the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program protections for Salvadorans. Those protections are set to expire Wednesday. He said the decision will be up to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, but added that El Salvador is a much safer country now.

When asked if ICE agents will have body cameras by the end of September, he said the cameras are being deployed but could not provide a clear timeline, only that "there is a plan" underway.
