From Fox News: Former acting ICE Director Tom Homan is “honored” to be tapped as the “border czar” for the incoming second Trump administration, and he’s prepared to do what it takes to get the crisis under control.
“I’ve been on this network for years complaining about what this administration did to this border. I’ve been yelling and screaming about it and what they need to do to fix it. So when the president asked me, ‘Would you come back and fix it?’ Of course. I’d be a hypocrite if I didn’t. I’m honored the president asked me to come back and help solve this national security crisis, so I’m looking forward to it,” he told “Fox & Friends” Monday in his first interview since being tapped for the role.
“I think the calling is clear,” he continued, “I’ve got to go back and help because every morning… I’m pissed off with what this [Biden] administration did to the most secure border in my lifetime, so I’m going to go back and do what I can to fix it.”
Trump announced his decision to tap Homan for the position in his incoming administration in a post on Truth Social on Sunday, filling the role currently occupied by Vice President Kamala Harris.
Homan said his first priority would be to deport illegal aliens who pose public safety or national security threats, including those associated with drug cartels and sex trafficking.
“I know exactly what I’m doing, and this is the second time I’ve come out of retirement for this president, because it matters,” Homan said.
“I was a Border Patrol agent, I wore that uniform, and I’m proud that I wore that uniform. I was an ICE agent. I was the first ICE director that came up through the ranks, so the 20,000 men and women that worked for me, I didn’t ask them to do anything I wouldn’t do myself, because I was one of them,” he continued.
Homan said others are wanting to come out of retirement to help as well.
“But more importantly, thousands of retired agents, retired military [have called] that want to come in and volunteer to help this president secure the border and do this deportation operation,” he told Fox News.
And yes, he’s had death threats made against him. But Homan said, “That’s something we’re going to deal with. They’re not going to shut me up. They’re not going to make me go away. This is the biggest national security vulnerability this nation has seen since 9/11. We have to fix it.”

Below is an EPIC video montage of multiple fiery incidents as Homan gave speeches and testified before Congress over border security issues. Over and over again, he has fired back at radical Democrats and left them speechless with is no-nonsense approach.
In the grand finale, Homan recalls the moment when Trump told him he was going to run again for the Oval Office.
“If I come back, can I get you to come back?” Trump asked Homan.
Homan responded, “Tell you what, Sir. I’m so pissed off, I’ll come back for free.”

As of October 1, the Biden-Harris administration had allowed over 10.5 million illegal aliens to cross into the United States since taking office in January 2021. This is not counting gotaways or migrants who the administration has allowed to enter via the CBP One App or their parole programs.
