Trump is rolling up his sleeves to tackle the southern border crisis, and he’s got just the man for the job: Tom Homan. As if the former acting head of ICE wasn’t busy enough during his previous stint, he’s now been appointed as Trump’s border czar. The announcement came directly from the soon-to-be-president and was made through the magical medium of social media, which Trump mastered long before most of his critics could figure out how to send a tweet without spelling errors.
The appointment is a slam dunk for those who take border control seriously. Trump openly declared that he’s known Homan for ages and has full confidence in his ability to “police and control our Borders.” The next logical question: when do we break out the confetti? Homan’s duties extend far beyond just handling the mess with Mexico; he’ll also oversee operations at the Northern Border and monitor both maritime and aviation security. In other words, it’s a full-court press on border security, and Homan is the player the administration trusts to get it done.

“Is there a way to carry out mass deportations without separating families?
Homan:
“Of course there is. Families can be deported together.”

Homan’s approach promises a “humane operation” to deal with illegal entrants, focusing on the “well-targeted” removal of individuals. Who knew that ICE was about to become the romantic lead in a feel-good border control story? Homan made it clear that prioritizing those with criminal records or national security risks was the name of the game. Essentially, he’s not just drumming up support; he’s setting the stage for some serious action. And in his somewhat cheeky message to Democratic officials, he firmly stated that if they’re not up for lending a hand, they should just step aside. Now that’s what you call setting boundaries—both literally and figuratively.
As if the transition team needed any additional validation, a spokeswoman confirmed that the American electorate gave Trump a “resounding mandate” to make good on his promises. Based on recent electoral trends, there’s no doubt voters are getting increasingly tired of the “let’s turn a blind eye to the problem” approach taken by some blue states. It almost sounds like the people have spoken, and they’re ready for some stark changes in policy, particularly in places like New York and California, where President Trump made notable gains.
The wheels are in motion for a potent combination of immigration enforcement wrapped in common sense policies. Homan might just be the knight in shining armor that America’s border security has been waiting for. If anyone thought Trump was going to sit on the sidelines while issues festered, they should think again. With a firm hand on the border czar’s lever, it looks like the Trump administration is gearing up for a significant shift in how the country deals with illegal immigration. The only question that remains is how quickly this “humane” operation can transform into real results.
