Unclear If Operation Talon Was Ever Implemented

Trending on social media this week is something called “Operation Talon,” a Trump administration program that aimed to remove immigrant sex offenders who had illegally entered the US. Fox News’ Tucker Carlson mentioned the program during a February 8th segment on Biden’s overall immigration policies. He posited that suspending Operation Talon implied that “Illegal alien sex offenders are now a protected class.” 

Fox News’ Sean Hannity also addressed Operation Talon, sharing an editorial from Human Events. The editorial cites a group of attorneys general who wrote a letter to President Biden arguing against the cancelation.
