US President-elect Donald Trump said late Sunday he was bringing back hardline immigration official Tom Homan to oversee the country’s borders in the incoming administration.
“I am pleased to announce that the Former ICE Director, and stalwart on Border Control, Tom Homan, will be joining the Trump Administration, in charge of our Nation’s Borders (“The Border Czar”),” Trump posted on his social network Truth Social.
“I’ve known Tom for a long time, and there is nobody better at policing and controlling our Borders.”
Trump said Homan will be in charge of “all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin”.
