Brute who ripped kids from their parents' arms will run Trump's border

Donald Trump announced on Sunday that he is appointing former acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Thomas Homan to serve as his “border czar,” saying Homan will be "in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin."

“I’ve known Tom for a long time, and there is nobody better at policing and controlling our Borders,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

Homan, a Project 2025 contributor, ran ICE when Trump first took office in 2017.

While in the Trump administration, Homan is considered the “father” of Trump's "zero tolerance" border policy, which led to thousands of unnecessary and inhumane family separations. It took months for many of the children who were separated from their parents to reunite with their families, leading to agonizing images of children in cages in detention facilities without their parents. 

He also made menacing comments to immigrants, saying at a congressional hearing in 2017 that they "should be worried.”

“If you’re in this country illegally and you committed a crime by being in this country, you should be uncomfortable, you should look over your shoulder. You need to be worried,” Homan said in testimony before the House Appropriations Committee. “No population is off the table.”

When asked later by CNN if he regretted those comments, Homan said no. 

“It needed to be said,” Homan told CNN in June 2017.
