In 2018, then acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) Thomas Homan told HuffPost that Congress needed to fix immigration laws because: “I’m the first one to say, I can’t arrest 11 million people.”
Now, newly tapped as Donald Trump’s “border czar”, he will be tasked with just that. The president-elect said on Monday that Homan, a former law enforcement official who has served in immigration enforcement under multiple presidencies, would be “in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin”.
