Donald Trump Announces Immigration Official, Tom Homan As ‘Border Czar’

US President-elect Donald Trump made it known on Sunday that he is reinstating hardline immigration official Tom Homan to oversee the country’s borders in the upcoming administration.

The 78-year-old Republican has pledged to launch — on his first day in office — the largest deportation operation of undocumented immigrants in US history.

“I am pleased to announce that former ICE Director and staunch advocate for border control, Tom Homan, will be joining the Trump Administration to head up our Nation’s Borders as ‘The Border Czar,’” Trump posted on his social media platform, Truth Social.

“I’ve known Tom for a long time, and there’s nobody better at policing and controlling our borders.”

Trump disclosed that Homan would be responsible for “all Deportation of Illegal
Aliens back to their Country of Origin.”

Homan, who led immigration enforcement for part of Trump’s first administration, spoke at the Republican National Convention in July, where he told supporters, “I have a message for the millions of illegal immigrants Joe Biden has released into our country: You better start packing now.”

Trump — who never conceded his 2020 loss — secured a remarkable comeback to the presidency in the 5 November election, solidifying his right-wing stance in US politic

He will not be inaugurated until January and has thus far made only one cabinet appointment, naming his campaign manager Susie Wiles — whom he calls “Ice Baby” for her supposedly unflappable demeanor — as his White House Chief of Staff.

Late Sunday, Trump informed the New York Post that he had offered Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik the role of US Ambassador to the United Nations.

Stefanik, currently serving her fifth term, told the newspaper she had accepted the position and was “truly honored.”
