Donald J. Trump is back in the driver’s seat and has made a bold appointment by bringing in Tom Homan as the new border czar. This isn’t a position meant for show, unlike that of Kamala Harris, who seems to collect titles like children collect stickers. Homan has a clear mandate: he’s going to roll up his sleeves and get down to business in what he has described as the biggest deportation operation in U.S. history. And no, this is not a feel-good human rights undertaking; it’s about enforcing the rule of law.
With Republicans holding sway over both chambers of Congress, the new administration is poised to flex some muscle. Homan has made it clear that the scale of his operation hinges on funding. He has asked Congress for a significant boost in resources to make this grand vision a reality. The message is clear: without enough detention beds and officers, the plan remains a dream. Anyone thinking the budget might stay low for long hasn’t been paying much attention to the recent trends in conservative governance.

Currently, Immigration and Customs Enforcement is working with a budget that allows for less than 50,000 detention beds. But with Homan at the helm, that is likely to change. The Trump administration is set to tap into privately-run detention facilities, which will likely see a boom as the deportation regime expands. Homan has indicated that it’s going to take time and effort to transport illegal aliens back home, as countries must be contacted and travel documents need to be handled. But he seems completely unfazed, viewing it as a logistical challenge rather than an insurmountable obstacle.
While Homan’s task will undoubtedly meet resistance from Democratic mayors and governors vowing to obstruct ICE operations, there’s no hiding from the law of the land. He made it abundantly clear that harboring illegal aliens is a crime—something that mayors need to review before they decide to stand in the way. This isn’t merely a power move; it’s a reminder that the Democratic mantra of sanctuary cities is about to face some serious pushback.
Homan is not just looking to deport serious criminals either. He’s making it known that even individuals without criminal records will be subject to deportation if they’re found to be in the country illegally. The days of open borders—championed by the previous administration—are drawing to a close. And as a cherry on top, Homan even managed to address family separation concerns during deportation operations by coolly suggesting that families can be sent back together. For the liberal media, this has got to be the stuff of nightmares.
America is witnessing a significant shift in border policy with the appointment of Tom Homan. His commitment to mass deportation isn’t just talk; it’s likely to become a reality as he seeks to dismantle what many perceive as a chaotic immigration system. The winds of change are blowing fiercely, and it’s only a matter of time before the Trump administration gets fully underway with their promises to protect the integrity of U.S. borders.
