Trump Picks Tom Homan as ‘Border Czar’

November 11, 2024 · 5:55 am ET · Leave a Comment

President-elect Donald Trump says Tom Homan, his former acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement director, will serve as “border czar” in his incoming administration, CBS News reports.

New York Times: “Mr. Trump made a broad crackdown on immigration a pillar of his presidential campaign, but it is so far unclear what that would look like or what his presidency will mean for immigrants in the United States.”

“One major question is whether the new administration will implement large-scale worksite raids that could lead to the arrest of unauthorized workers. Mr. Homan said on CBS’s ‘60 Minutes’ last month that such raids, which have not been conducted under President Biden, would resume under the new administration. Mr. Trump takes office on Jan. 20.”
