President Trump publicly praised his border czar Tom Homan, posting a big shoutout as Homan—Trump’s appointed border czar and former acting ICE director—declared, “Tom Homan isn’t going anywhere.” The role, announced by Trump, places Homan over border and deportation operations and does not require Senate confirmation. Homan, a longtime immigration enforcer who oversaw record deportations and helped implement aggressive policies including family separations, says he will prioritize public-safety threats and run large-scale removal operations. Supporters applauded his experience; critics warned the pick signals harsher enforcement and renewed civil‑rights concerns. Protests and legal challenges are expected nationwide in the coming weeks.
