US President Donald Trump has announced that he will bring back hard-line anti-immigration official Tom Homan to oversee the state's borders in the next administration.
The 78-year-old Republican has vowed that on the first day of his presidency, he will launch the largest operation in American history, deporting undocumented immigrants.
"I am happy to announce that former director of Border Control, Tom Homan, will join the Trump administration as the national border officer. I have known Tom for a long time, there is no one who can better control our borders", wrote Trump on his social platform, Truth Social.
Homan will be engaged in the "deportation of illegal aliens to their homeland", added Trump.
Homan, who served in the Trump administration for a year and a half during his first term, is also a contender for Homeland Security Secretary.
Mass deportations — and housing immigrants in camps — were a key part of Trump's pitch on the campaign trail.
Homan, a Heritage Fellow and author of Project 2025, said at this summer's Republican National Convention in Milwaukee that he had "a message for the millions of illegal aliens that Joe Biden allowed into the country in violation of federal law — start doing suitcases, because you're going home."
Homan was also reported to have accepted an invitation to a white nationalist conference hosted by Holocaust denier and Hitler admirer Nick Fuentes, who dined with Trump and Kanye West at Mar-a-Lago in 2022.
On Thursday, Homan told Fox News that he had "not been politicking or looking ... for a cabinet position" and that no offer had been made. But he added that "President Trump knows if he needs help securing that border that I'm standing on." If he needs help running a deportation operation, I'll stand by him."
The president-elect is meeting with potential candidates to serve in his administration ahead of his inauguration as president on January 20.
CNN reported Sunday that Trump had offered Republican Representative Elise Stefanik the job as US ambassador to the United Nations.
The former American president convincingly won the November 5 elections, while during the election campaign he repeated several times that he will deport undocumented immigrants and advanced violent rhetoric about those who "poison the blood" of the United States.
Although US governments have had problems for years in managing the southern border with Mexico, Trump has increased concerns even more, claiming that an "invasion" of the US is taking place by migrants, who will rape and kill them. the americans.
However, statistics show that violence and crime in this border area, which had increased during the first Trump administration, has decreased year after year in the current administration of President Joe Biden.
