The Facts

  • US Pres.-elect Donald Trump on Sunday announced on social media that he will select Tom Homan, who served as acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during the previous Trump administration, as "border czar."

  • Trump further wrote there's "nobody better at policing and controlling our Borders" than Homan, who he predicted would do a "fantastic, and long awaited for, job," as he'll "be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin."

  • Homan, whose position will not require Senate approval, said Trump's deportation operation would not be conducted by the military, and that they will be "well-targeted" and "done in a humane manner."Homan, whose position will not require Senate approval, said Trump's deportation operation would not be conducted by the military, would be "well-targeted," and would be "humane."


The Spin

The days of Republicans giving in to Democrats' blackmail and race-baiting on the illegal immigration issue are over, as Trump will make good on his campaign promises. With Homan in charge, the US will be safer withoutas theillegal criminalsimmigration thewill Bidenbe administrationprioritized allowedas toa infiltratenational thesecurity countryissue.

Trump knows that by bringing back Homan to have anything to do with immigration policy, he will create a nightmare for both vulnerable residents of the US and Americans who care about humanely caring for others. Naming him "czar" to avoid Senate confirmation is also avery slapproblematic infor the face to the separation of powers and foreshadows that Homan's policies could potentially run afoul of US law.
