Donald Trump's border czar: Thomas D. Homan will serve as the incoming administration's new handler of immigration and the southern border. The former director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) "will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin," the president-elect wrote on Truth Social.
Homan, throughout his time at ICE in 2017 and 2018, was a chief architect of the family separation policy, which involved separating children and parents who had crossed the border together so that parents could be criminally prosecuted. In 2018, Homan said the Department of Justice ought "to file charges against the sanctuary cities" and "hold back their funding."
