Homan was the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement from January 2017 to June 2018, where he was a key architect of the Trump administration's controversial family separation policy.

President-elect Donald Trump says Tom Homan, his former acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement director, will serve as "border czar" in his incoming administration.

Tom Homan served as acting ICE director during Trump’s first administration and will personally oversee the president-elect’s plans for a “mass deportation” of undocumented immigrants.
