Donald Trump, the incoming U.S. President, has tapped Tom Homan, a former immigration enforcement chief, to oversee border security.
Homan, known for his strict stance on immigration during Trump’s first term, will lead efforts to enforce border control and deportation operations.
This appointment aligns with Trump’s campaign promise to prioritize border security and launch what he describes as the largest deportation initiative in U.S. history.
His plan includes using an 18th-century law to target migrants from specific regions.
Trump, who recently won the presidential election, has so far made limited cabinet appointments. Among them is Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, named as the next U.S.
Ambassador to the United Nations.
These early moves signal a return to Trump’s hardline policies on immigration, which were a central theme during his campaign.
Under his previous administration, Homan spearheaded aggressive immigration policies, drawing both support and criticism. His reinstatement suggests that similar strategies will be employed in the upcoming term.
