Tom Homan, Trump’s former acting ICE director who contributed to Project 2025, will be “border czar” in the next administration.

In President Donald Trump’s first term, Tom Homan was an architect of the infamous family separation policy and a key part of the anti-immigration regime. He served as Trump’s acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement but was never formally confirmed by the Senate to lead the agency, as required.

As Trump prepares for his second term, the president-elect announced he is bringing Homan back as “border czar” — an amorphous post with unclear formal authority but the advantage of not requiring Senate confirmation. Once again, Trump has found a way to empower Homan while shielding him from scrutiny.
