As Border Czar, Homan will oversee efforts to deport illegal migrants, secure the southern and northern borders, and address gaps in aviation and maritime security. The position will allow Homan to work directly with the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies to execute Trump’s immigration agenda without the delays of Senate confirmation.

Homan’s appointment has been widely praised by conservatives, who see him as a no-nonsense advocate for border security. His leadership is expected to counter the Biden-Harris administration’s approach, which many argue allowed the border crisis to spiral out of control.
