Trump Appoints Tom Homan as 'The Border Czar'

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump announced former ICE director Tom Homan as head of U.S. borders in his administration, including maritime and aviation security. Homan is also a contender for secretary of homeland security. This move aligns with Trump's focus on illegal immigration during his campaign.

President-elect Donald Trump has named Tom Homan, former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), to oversee U.S. borders. His role will encompass security for both land and air, including southern, northern, and maritime areas.

Homan, who formerly served in the Trump administration, is also being considered for secretary of homeland security. Immigration control has been a major focus of Trump's campaign. He has assured supporters that Homan will manage deportation efforts for illegal immigrants.

As Trump prepares for his January inauguration, he is selecting key figures for his administration. According to CNN, he has offered Representative Elise Stefanik the position of U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
