Tom Homan elected “border czar” to oversee deportations: Trump

play

WASHINGTON – Tom Homan, the former head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, will become a “border czar” overseeing deportation policies for undocumented immigrants and airline safety, President-elect Donald Trump announced.

Homan was a controversial figure in Trump’s first term because he oversaw the “zero tolerance” policy that separated families of undocumented immigrants.

But he has been a vocal supporter of strict immigration enforcement for Trump, who promised that a mass deportation of an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants would begin on his first day in office on January 20.

“I have known Tom for a long time and there is no one better at policing and controlling our borders,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Sunday. “Similarly, Tom Homan will be responsible for all deportations of illegal aliens back to their country of origin.”
