President Trump Appoints Former ICE Director Tom Homan as “Border Czar” to Oversee National Security Across All U.S. Borders Including Maritime and Aviation Security

THE GATEWAY PUNDIT | Published November 12, 2024

President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social Sunday night that former ICE Director Tom Homan will be the nation’s new “Border Czar.”

Homan, a steadfast supporter of strong border policies and seasoned law enforcement leader, will be tasked with overseeing all aspects of U.S. border security, extending beyond the southern and northern land borders to include maritime and aviation domains.

Homan will lead all deportation efforts, enforcing strict policies to remove illegal aliens from the country.

President Trump’s announcement read:

“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”), including, but not limited to, the Southern Border, the Northern Border, all Maritime, and Aviation Security. I’ve known Tom for a long time, and there is nobody better at policing and controlling our Borders. Likewise, Tom Homan will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin. Congratulations to Tom. I have no doubt he will do a fantastic, and long awaited for, job.”

Tom Homan’s credentials are nothing short of impressive. With 33 years of law enforcement experience and a storied career at ICE, Homan has proven himself to be a dedicated public servant committed to enforcing immigration laws.

Homan’s most notable role was his appointment by President Trump as the Acting Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on January 30, 2017. He served in this capacity until his retirement on June 30, 2018.

Prior to this appointment, from 2013, he held the position of Executive Associate Director of ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), according to the Government Technology & Services Coalition (GTSC).

President-elect Donald Trump has named former acting ICE Director and Trump campaign surrogate Tom Homan as his “Border Czar.”

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”), including, but not limited to, the Southern Border, the Northern Border, all Maritime, and Aviation Security. I’ve known Tom for a long time, and there is nobody better at policing and controlling our Borders. Likewise, Tom Homan will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin. Congratulations to Tom. I have no doubt he will do a fantastic, and long awaited for, job.

This is Trump’s second cabinet appointment as the campaign transition team is working to vet other key Oval Office and staff positions. On Thursday, Trump named his campaign manager Susie Wiles as White House Chief of Staff.

As ICE acting director under the first Trump administration, Homan verbally bodied Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), who tried to lecture him on illegal immigrant detention facilities. When Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tried to turn her fake compassion and outrage over illegals on Homan, he silenced her with his fact-based, no-nonsense approach to law enforcement and the rule of law.

After leaving the first Trump administration, Homan remained a staunch critic of the Biden-Harris administration and their disastrous response to the crisis on the Southern border.

A week before the 2024 election, Homan laid out for CBS’ “60 Minutes” how Trump would enact his promise that on Day 1, he would launch a mass deportation of illegal aliens.
