Former ICE director Tom Homan will serve as President-elect Donald Trump’s “border czar,” overseeing border security and leading efforts to deport illegal immigrants, Trump announced Sunday evening.
“I’ve known Tom for a long time, and there is nobody better at policing and controlling our Borders,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, calling Homan “a stalwart on Border Control.”
Homan, who served as Trump’s acting ICE director from 2017 until his retirement in 2018, will lead the implementation of Trump’s expansive deportation plan, which the president-elect said would be the “largest deportation operation in American history.”
Homan on Sunday said Trump’s second administration will carry out “a well-targeted, planned operation” to deport illegal immigrants, targeting “the worst first.”
“It’ll be a humane operation, but it’s a necessary mass deportation operation,” Homan added.
Vice President Kamala Harris faced scrutiny over her failure as President Joe Biden’s “border czar” to secure the southern border. Under the Biden-Harris administration, more than 7.8 million migrants crossed the U.S. border illegally, with over 13,000 illegal aliens convicted of murder now at large in the United States, according to ICE data.
