Tom Homan Appointed Border Czar by Trump

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Tom Homan as 'border czar,' signaling a shift towards stricter immigration enforcement following a surge in illegal crossings during the Biden administration. Homan, who has previously led ICE, supports Trump's plans for mass deportations, stating that families can be deported together, a stance that has drawn criticism from various quarters. Trump's administration aims to conduct the largest deportation operation in U.S. history, targeting the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants. Homan's prior experience and knowledge are expected to play a crucial role in executing these policies, with support from former advisor Stephen Miller, who has a history of advocating for stringent immigration measures. Despite concerns regarding family separations, Homan reassures that U.S. citizens and legal immigrants are not at risk. This shift in immigration policy has revitalized morale among border authorities, contrasting sharply with the previous administration's approach.
