Trump Appoints Tom Homan as Border Czar

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Tom Homan, former acting head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), as his 'Border Czar', responsible for overseeing U.S. borders and deporting illegal immigrants. Trump praised Homan's experience and commitment to border control, indicating he will manage the Southern and Northern Borders, as well as maritime and aviation security. Homan, a key figure in Trump's previous administration known for implementing controversial 'zero tolerance' immigration policies, has stated that deportations will be conducted in a 'humane manner'. He has dismissed concerns about the military's involvement in deportations, asserting that ICE will lead the operations. Trump’s choice of Homan aligns with his campaign promise of mass deportations and stricter immigration enforcement. Notably, this position does not require Senate confirmation, allowing for immediate action upon Trump's inauguration.
