Texas Governor Teams Up With Homan
As President-elect Donald Trump begins to assemble his team, one key appointment stands out in the fight to secure America’s southern border: Tom Homan, named as his “border czar.” Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who knows firsthand the challenges of border security, has enthusiastically endorsed Homan’s selection, calling him the right man for the job.
Governor Abbott, who has led the charge with Operation Lone Star to fill the gaps left by the federal government’s failure to protect the border, expressed confidence in Homan’s ability to tackle the monumental task ahead. Speaking on “The Cats Roundtable” on New York’s 77 WABC News Radio, Abbott stated, “There’s a tall task for President Trump to find, to locate these people, and then to deport them or to jail them. We’ve got the right guy in charge of it.” Abbott is no stranger to border challenges, having been forced to take action after President Biden’s lax border policies left Texas communities vulnerable to crime, human trafficking, and drugs. Now, with Homan at the helm, Abbott is optimistic that real change is on the horizon.
Homan brings over 30 years of experience in immigration enforcement, including his tenure as the acting Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Known for his tough stance on illegal immigration, Homan has often been a target of criticism from the left, particularly for his support of a strong, no-nonsense approach to deportations. He has even embraced the term “mass deportations” as necessary to restore order, an idea that has fueled liberal outrage but resonates with conservatives who want strict enforcement of immigration laws.
Homan’s tough rhetoric on immigration has often put him at odds with the left. His exchange with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, in which he called illegal border crossers “criminals,” is a reminder that Homan is unafraid to stand firm on the law. He has also made it clear that cities and states that defy federal immigration law—such as sanctuary cities—will face consequences. As he stated in a recent appearance on Newsmax, those who obstruct immigration enforcement “are committing a crime.”
For Abbott, this partnership signals a renewed commitment to securing the border and cracking down on illegal immigration, both in Texas and across the nation. “We go to work this coming week on solving the border problems in the state of Texas, as well as across the United States of America,” Abbott affirmed. Together, Abbott and Homan are poised to make significant strides toward restoring order and security to America’s border.
This strong, no-compromise approach to border security is precisely what conservative voters have demanded for years, and with Tom Homan as the “border czar,” the Trump administration appears ready to take decisive action. As Homan warns, those who stand in the way of enforcing immigration law will face legal consequences, and it’s clear that he is not backing down from this critical mission.
