President-elect Donald Trump has announced key appointments to lead his immigration and border security agenda, selecting Tom Homan as the incoming Border Czar and other hardline allies to head Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Homan has pledged to focus on mass deportations and stricter enforcement, targeting sanctuary cities and criminal illegal aliens. He has emphasized the use of executive actions starting on January 20, including deploying teams to locate and detain individuals released by sanctuary cities. Homan also identified gangs such as Tren De Aragua and MS-13 as top priorities. Additionally, Stephen Miller, a senior Trump advisor, stated that border security and deportations will be immediate priorities for the administration, with a series of executive orders planned for the first day in office.
