President Donald Trump has appointed Tom Homan as his Border Czar, signaling a bold new approach to border security. Homan, a veteran in immigration enforcement, will oversee efforts to secure the border and deport illegal migrants.
Trump announced the decision on Truth Social, calling Homan a proven leader with the expertise to enforce immigration laws. “I’ve known Tom for a long time, and there is nobody better at policing and controlling our borders,” Trump said.

Homan’s responsibilities will include addressing the backlog of 1.3 million migrants who have exhausted their appeals to stay in the US. Criminal offenders and other violators will also be prioritized for deportation under his guidance.
This appointment follows what many conservatives see as a failure by the Biden-Harris administration to control the border. The influx of illegal migrants has reached unprecedented levels, with millions crossing since 2021, straining resources and communities nationwide.

Homan’s role does not require Senate confirmation, allowing him to begin coordinating Trump’s immigration policies immediately. However, Trump has pledged to select a DHS secretary who will complement Homan’s work and enforce stricter border policies.
