President-elect Donald Trump has announced that Tom Homan, the former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), will be taking on the role of overseeing the nation's borders. In a post on Truth Social, Trump expressed his confidence in Homan's abilities, stating that there is 'nobody better at policing and controlling our Borders.' Homan's responsibilities will include managing security at the Southern Border, Northern Border, as well as all Maritime and Aviation Security.
Homan, known for his strong stance on border control, is expected to lead efforts in deportation of illegal aliens back to their countries of origin. He has been a vocal critic of sanctuary cities, referring to them as 'sanctuaries for criminals' and emphasizing the need for cooperation with local law enforcement.
During a recent appearance on Fox News, Homan outlined his plans to address illegal immigration, highlighting the importance of worksite operations in combating issues such as sex trafficking and forced labor trafficking. He also addressed concerns about mass deportations, assuring that any enforcement efforts would be targeted and not involve sweeping actions.
As a key figure in Trump's immigration agenda, Homan has been a staunch advocate for stricter enforcement measures. He previously served as the acting ICE director in the first Trump administration, where he defended the agency's actions and called for increased enforcement.
Despite his controversial tenure, Homan's appointment as Border Czar signals a continued focus on immigration policy under the incoming administration. His track record suggests a commitment to upholding border security and enforcing immigration laws.
