President-elect Donald Trump has announced that Tom Homan, the former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), will serve as 'Border Czar' in his incoming administration. Homan, who served during the Obama administration and received a President’s Award for Distinguished Service, will oversee national border security and will be responsible for the largest mass deportation operation in U.S. history. By appointing him as Border Czar, Trump can circumvent a potentially difficult Senate confirmation process. Known for his hardline stance on immigration enforcement, Homan has previously advocated that 'families can be deported together.' His appointment signals Trump's commitment to strengthening border security and implementing strict immigration policies.
