President-elect Donald Trump's appointment of Tom Homan as the border czar signals a hardline stance on immigration, with plans to designate Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations and crack down on illegal immigration. Homan, known for his role in the family separation policy, will work closely with others in Trump's administration to secure the U.S. borders and implement mass deportations. Trump's recent administration picks, including Matt Gaetz as attorney general and Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence, indicate a shift towards aggressive policies. Advocacy groups have expressed strong opposition to Homan's appointment, labeling him an extremist against immigrants. These developments come amid broader political discussions and challenges, such as electoral reform proposals in Canada facing opposition from rival parties.
