President-elect Donald Trump has picked former acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Thomas Homan to serve as a “border czar” for the incoming administration.
Trump’s selection of Homan, 62, for the post was widely expected.
“I’ve known Tom for a long time, and there is nobody better at policing and controlling our Borders,” Trump wrote as he announced Homan’s new job on the Truth Social platform late Sunday night. Homan’s duties will include overseeing the borders with Mexico and Canada, as well as the U.S. coastline and airspace, Trump said.
Trump, who has promised mass deportation of undocumented immigrants, said that would also be part of Homan’s portfolio. “Tom Homan will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin,” Trump wrote.
