The president-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, has announced his intention to appoint the former director of the federal agency Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Tom Homan as “border czar”, i.e. responsible for border issues. The announcement that Homan will be given the role that was given to Vice President Kamala Harris in the current administration is a further sign of Trump’s desire to make a clear change in the management of the border with Mexico, which has been the scene of a migration crisis for four years unprecedented.
Trump made the announcement on Truth Social, explaining that Homan’s responsibilities will include “the southern border, the northern border, all maritime security and aviation security.” “I’ve known Tom a long time and there’s no one better of him to monitor and control our borders”, wrote the tycoon on the social media. «Likewise, Tom Homan will be responsible for all deportations of illegal immigrants back to their country of origin. Congratulations to Tom. I have no doubt that he will do a fantastic, and long-awaited, job,” he added.
Much of Trump’s agenda for the first day of his second administration will likely center on drastic action on immigration, and with the nomination of Homan, the president is bringing into play a steadfast ally who has already demonstrated the his willingness to follow orders and known for his tough stances on border management in recent years. Trump has promised for months to launch the largest deportation operation in the nation’s history, an initiative which, he said, will depend on cooperation with local police departments, and which according to various analyzes promises to be expensive and very complex in terms of logistics.

**Interview with Political Analyst Jane Doe on Trump’s Appointment of Tom Homan as Border Czar**
**Editor:** Good afternoon, Jane. Thank you for joining us today. Let’s dive right into the news. Donald Trump has announced the appointment of Tom Homan as the new “border czar.” What does this signify for border management in the U.S.?
**Jane Doe:** Good afternoon! Trump’s decision to appoint Tom Homan is a clear indication of his intent to shift the current administration’s approach to immigration and border security. Homan, with his experience as the former director of ICE, brings a strong enforcement perspective, which aligns with Trump’s previous policies that prioritize border control.
**Editor:** You mentioned a shift in approach. How significant do you think this announcement is in the context of the ongoing migration crisis at the southern border?
**Jane Doe:** It’s quite significant. Under the previous administration, we saw a different strategy that involved a more humanitarian approach. Trump’s return to a hardline policy with Homan at the helm suggests that we may see strict enforcement measures reintroduced, potentially leading to increased deportations and a tougher stance on illegal immigration.
**Editor:** Trump also mentioned that Homan would oversee not just the southern border but maritime and aviation security as well. How does that expand his role?
**Jane Doe:** That expansion illustrates a comprehensive security approach. By including maritime and aviation, Trump is signaling that the administration will take a holistic view of national security concerning immigration. This could involve enhanced scrutiny at ports and airports, aiming to mitigate any illegal crossings or smuggling operations.
**Editor:** Lastly, how do you think the American public will respond to this appointment and to the potential policies that may follow?
**Jane Doe:** Trump’s base is likely to support this move, as it represents a return to his administration’s previous policies that resonated with their concerns about immigration. However, there may be significant pushback from advocacy groups and those who favor a more compassionate approach to immigration. the public response will likely be polarized, reflecting the ongoing national debate over immigration policy.
**Editor:** Thank you, Jane, for your insights on this important issue. We appreciate your time.
**Jane Doe:** Thank you for having me!
