Bio:

Tom Homan, former Acting Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has been appointed as Trump’s Border Czar. Known for his strong stance on immigration enforcement, Homan will oversee the security of the Southern and Northern Borders, as well as maritime and aviation security. During Trump’s first term, Homan was a prominent supporter of the “zero tolerance” policy, which led to the separation of over 4,000 children from their families. Homan has stated that in his role, he intends to intensify workplace raids to combat labor and sex trafficking and prioritize deporting individuals deemed threats to public and national security.

Career Highlights:

Acting Director of ICE (2017–2018): Led ICE in heightened enforcement efforts, supporting policies aimed at reducing illegal immigration through strict measures.
“Zero Tolerance” Policy Advocate: Played a key role in implementing the “zero tolerance” policy, which criminally prosecuted all unlawful entries and led to family separations as a deterrence strategy.

About the Border Czar Role:

The Border Czar is tasked with overseeing all aspects of U.S. border security, including land, maritime, and aviation sectors, focusing on illegal immigration, trafficking, and national security threats. The position, which does not require Senate confirmation, enables the Border Czar to enforce administration policies directly and coordinate among border agencies. Homan’s appointment is expected to reinforce a strict approach to immigration, aligning with Trump’s agenda of increased security measures and targeted deportations.
