US President-elect Donald Trump announced on Sunday that he has appointed Tom Homan, a former hardline immigration official, as the “Border Czar” in his incoming administration.
Trump shared the news on his social media platform, Truth Social, praising Homan for his expertise in border control and calling him the best person for overseeing the nation’s borders.
The former Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement will be responsible for managing deportations of illegal immigrants back to their countries of origin.
Trump’s administration is set to pursue a robust immigration policy, with the president-elect pledging to launch the largest deportation operation in U.S history on his first day in office.
Throughout his campaign, Trump made harsh criticisms of undocumented immigrants, using inflammatory rhetoric to describe their impact on the country.
