President-elect Donald Trump has announced he's appointing former ICE Director Tom Homan as "Border Czar" and Stephen Miller as Deputy Chief of Policy.



From AP, "Trump announces Tom Homan, former director of immigration enforcement, will serve as 'border czar'":
In an interview on Fox News Channel's "Sunday Morning Futures," Homan said the military would not be rounding up and arresting immigrants in the country illegally and that ICE would move to implement Trump's plans in a "humane manner."

"It's going to be a well-targeted, planned operation conducted by the men of ICE. The men and women of ICE do this daily. They're good at it," he said. "When we go out there, we're going to know who we're looking for. We most likely know where they're going to be, and it's going to be done in a humane manner."
Earlier this year at the National Conservatism Conference in Washington, Homan expressed frustration at the news coverage of a mass deportation operation.

"Wait until 2025," he said, adding that, while he thinks the government needed to prioritize national security threats, "no one's off the table. If you're here illegally, you better be looking over your shoulder."

He also said: "you've got my word. Trump comes back in January, I'll be in his heels coming back, and I will run the biggest deportation operation this country's ever seen."
The majority of Americans support mass deportations and Trump has a mandate to see it through.

Hopefully, Homan is actually allowed to do his job and Trump won't cave on "family separation" like he did last time.

From AP, "Trump names Stephen Miller to be deputy chief of policy in new administration":
President-elect Donald Trump is naming longtime adviser Stephen Miller, an immigration hard-liner, to be the deputy chief of policy in his new administration.

Confirming the appointment, Vice President-elect JD Vance posted a message of congratulations on Monday to Miller on X and said, "This is another fantastic pick by the president." The announcement was first reported by CNN.

Miller is one of Trump's longest-serving aides, dating back to his first campaign for the White House. He was a senior adviser in Trump's first term and has been a central figure in many of his policy decisions, particularly on immigration, including Trump's move to separate thousands of immigrant families as a deterrence program in 2018.

[...] Since leaving the White House, Miller has served as the president of America First Legal, an organization of former Trump advisers fashioned as a conservative version of the American Civil Liberties Union, challenging the Biden administration, media companies, universities and others over issues such as freedom of speech and religion and national security.
Miller's group has been a mix of pro-Israel and pro-America activism but during his time in the White House he wasn't able to accomplish much as Jared Kushner was running the show.
