Politico reported that President-elect Donald Trump has appointed former acting ICE Director Thomas Homan, 62, as “border czar” for his administration. Homan will oversee the U.S.-Mexico and U.S.-Canada borders, as well as the nation’s coastline and airspace. Trump, committed to mass deportations, stated that Homan would lead the deportation of undocumented immigrants. Though Homan won’t have direct legal authority over agencies, he’ll coordinate through Senate-confirmed officials. Retiring from ICE in 2018, Homan has continued to advocate for Trump’s immigration policies.

The United States illegal immigrant population has approximately doubled under the Biden-Harris administration, The Hill reported. The U.S. had 10.2 million illegal immigrants in 2020, and 10 million more entered during Biden’s presidency. If all 20 million illegal immigrants were all in one state, it would be tied with New York for the fourth most populated state. If there is no serious reform of U.S. immigration and asylum laws, there will likely be a continuing increase in the rate of illegal border crossings, the Hill further reported.

The Heritage Foundation reported that since Biden took office, over 6.2 million illegal immigrants have been encountered at U.S. borders, with 2 million released into the U.S. Thousands had prior criminal convictions, including assault and murder, and over 1.5 million “gotaways” remain untracked. A 2021 DOJ report found 64% of federal arrests in 2018 involved noncitizens, though they comprised just 7% of the population. Tragic incidents and rising immigrant deaths, such as 850 fatalities in 2022, highlight safety issues, exacerbated by lenient border policies and sanctuary cities that hinder criminal deportations.
