Border Security Focus
In a significant development for border security, Tom Homan, recently appointed as the “border czar” by President-elect Trump, joined Texas Governor Greg Abbott in a pivotal border engagement in Eagle Pass, Texas. Their activities included serving meals to deployed Texas National Guard soldiers and members of the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Homan praised Governor Abbott’s “unprecedented success” in reducing illegal immigration. He reported a remarkable 86% decline in illegal immigration in Texas, attributing this success to Abbott’s leadership. “This is a model we can take across the country. We are committed to helping Governor Abbott finish what he started,” Homan stated.
With a background as the former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Homan is poised to play a crucial role in the Trump administration’s anticipated mass deportation strategy.
