Trump Picks Former Immigration Chief as Border Czar

President-Elect Trump (R) said He will install Tom Homan (R), the former Acting Head of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE}, as a “Border Czar” with Oversight over Immigration, Maritime, and Aviation Security.

“I’ve known Tom for a long time, and there is nobody better at policing and controlling our Borders,” Trump said in a Social Media Post Sunday. “Likewise, Tom Homan will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin.”

Homan was the Public Face of Trump’s “Zero Tolerance” Immigration Policies during His First Term, which broke with the Practice of keeping Families Together during Detention and Deportation Proceedings. As a result, Thousands of Undocumented Migrant Children were Separated from Family Members, drawing widespread Backlash, and many still haven't been returned.

Homan Downplayed the Possibility of similar Impacts, as Trump’s Plans for the Mass Deportation of Undocumented Migrants takes shape, saying that “Families could be deported together. It’s not going to be a mass sweep of neighborhoods. It’s not going to be building concentration camps. I’ve read it all. It’s ridiculous,” Homan said.

Trump and His Transition Team have Not outlined how they Plan to Accomplish the effort, which is likely to require substantial Funding from Congress, and the Cooperation of Countries to accept Returning Migrants. ICE has Documented 23 Countries that are considered "Recalcitrant" in taking back their Citizens. The List includes: Afghanistan, Algeria, China, Cuba, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, and Zimbabwe.

The choice of Homan also suggests that Participation in the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, won’t prevent People from getting Appointed to Jobs in Trump’s Administration. Homan had Contributed to the Policy Project, which Trump had sought to Distance Himself on the Campaign Trail.

Trump is expected to use Czar-like Positions to concentrate Power among Loyalists in the White House, giving Appointees broad Discretion over Government Departments and Agencies to Implement His Agenda.

Tere were around 4,000 Political Appointment Positions which an incoming Administration needs to Review, Fill or Confirm, of which about 1,200 require Senate Confirmation. The White House Presidential Personnel Office (PPO) is One of the Offices most Responsible for Political Appointees and for assessing Candidates to Work at or for the White House.
