Tom Homan addresses the National Conservatism Conference. On Monday, July 8, 2024, Tom Homan spoke at the National Conservatism Conference in Washington, D.C. Donald Trump has announced that Homan will serve as the “border czar” in his upcoming administration.
Homan, the former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has been tapped by President-elect Trump to lead efforts on mass deportations, a key promise from Trump’s campaign. In a statement posted to his Truth Social account late Sunday, Trump shared his pleasure in naming Homan to the position, calling him a “stalwart on Border Control” and stating Homan will be responsible for overseeing border security, deportations of illegal immigrants, as well as 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. “Congratulations to Tom. I have no doubt he will do a fantastic, long-awaited job.” Homan has not yet commented publicly on the announcement.
