Meet the man who will be responsible for deporting 10 million people from the United States.
Thomas "Tom" Douglas Homan (born November 28, 1961) is an American former police officer, immigration official, and political commentator who served during the Obama administration and the first Trump administration. He served as acting director of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from January 30, 2017, to June 29, 2018. Homan advocates deportation of undocumented immigrants and opposes sanctuary city policies. Within the Trump administration, he was among the most strident proponents of separating children from their parents as a means of deterring illegal entry into the country and curbing human trafficking. After 2018, he began contributing to Fox News as a commentator.
In 2015, President Obama gave him a Presidential Rank Award as a Distinguished Executive. A Washington Post article at the time stated, "Thomas Homan deports people. And he's really good at it."
Tom Homan, 62, will serve as Trump's "border tsar", having previously served as the returning president's acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice).
