President Donald Trump has chosen Tom Homan to oversee border security as his Border Czar, signaling a firm approach to addressing the crisis at the southern border. Homan, known for his strong stance on immigration enforcement, is expected to play a central role in fulfilling Trump’s promises to protect American borders.
Announcing the decision on Truth Social, Trump described Homan as the ideal leader, stating, “There is nobody better at policing and controlling our borders.” Homan’s experience as acting ICE director under Trump in 2017 and 2018 has earned him a reputation for prioritizing the deportation of illegal migrants and enforcing immigration laws effectively.

Homan’s immediate tasks will include overseeing deportations, particularly of the 1.3 million individuals under final orders of removal. Migrants convicted of crimes and those engaged in illegal activities will also be targeted under the administration’s new policies.
The move comes as conservatives continue to criticize the Biden-Harris administration for allowing record numbers of illegal crossings, with nearly 9 million migrants entering the country during Biden’s tenure. Supporters see Homan’s appointment as a necessary step to reverse these trends and restore border security.

Unlike a cabinet-level position, the Border Czar role does not require Senate confirmation. This allows Homan to begin coordinating efforts immediately, ensuring that Trump’s border policies are implemented without bureaucratic delays.
