Trump Names Former ICE Director Tom Homan as Border Czar for Largest Mass Deportation Operation

Nov 11, 2024, 04:39 AM

Former President 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, overseeing U.S. border security and deportations, including what is being described as the largest mass deportation operation in U.S. history. By appointing Homan as a czar, Trump is avoiding a Senate confirmation battle. Homan, who served during the Obama administration and received a Presidential Award for Distinguished Service, is known for his tough stance on illegal immigration. He stated, 'Families can be deported together,' and declared, 'I will run the biggest deportation force this country has ever seen. They ain't seen shit yet. Wait until 2025.' His appointment signals the administration's intent to take a hard line on border security and immigration enforcement.
