Trump Names Former ICE Director Tom Homan Border Czar to Lead Largest Mass Deportations

Nov 11, 2024, 04:58 AM

President-elect Donald Trump has announced that Tom Homan, former acting Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and author of Project 2025, will serve as the 'Border Czar' in his incoming administration. Homan will oversee all U.S. border security and the deportation of illegal immigrants, including implementing what is expected to be the largest mass deportation operation in U.S. history. By appointing Homan as 'Border Czar', Trump may avoid a Senate confirmation battle, as the position does not require Senate approval. Homan, known for his hardline stance on immigration enforcement, previously stated, 'Families can be deported together.' He also remarked to illegal immigrants, 'You better start packing now... because you're going home.'
