Former acting ICE Director Tom Homan is ready to take on the role of “border czar” in a second Trump administration, vowing to tackle the immigration crisis with unflinching resolve. “I’ve been yelling about what needs fixing at the border for years,” he said. “Now, I have the chance to do it.”
Former Acting ICE Director Tom Homan, a fierce advocate for stricter immigration controls, has been tapped as the “border czar” for President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration. Expressing both gratitude and determination, Homan spoke on *Fox & Friends* about his commitment to restoring border security, citing his years of criticism against the current administration’s handling of the crisis. “I’ve been yelling and screaming about what needs to be done to fix it. So when the president asked me, ‘Would you come back and fix it?’ Of course. I’d be a hypocrite if I didn’t,” he said, calling the opportunity to serve a great honor.
Trump announced his selection of Homan on Truth Social, positioning him as the incoming administration’s key figure in addressing the surge in illegal crossings—an issue that has remained central to Trump’s campaign since 2016. With over 10.8 million illegal border encounters since 2021, according to Homeland Security, Homan has pledged a tough stance, targeting national security threats, cartels, and human traffickers. The move is seen as a sharp pivot from Vice President Kamala Harris’s approach, whom Homan is set to replace in the role.
“This is the biggest national security vulnerability since 9/11,” Homan warned. Despite facing personal threats, he remains resolute: “They’re not going to shut me up… We have to fix it.” With mounting calls and support from retired agents and military personnel eager to aid the mission, Homan and Trump plan to reinstate several executive orders from the previous term, emphasizing border wall construction and mass deportations.
Homan’s appointment signals a return to the hardline policies of Trump’s first term, underscoring a renewed focus on national security and immigration reform.
