WASHINGTON: US president-elect Donald Trump said late on Sunday he was bringing back hardline immigration official Tom Homan to oversee the country's borders in the incoming administration.
"I've known Tom for a long time, and there is nobody better at policing and controlling our Borders." He will not be inaugurated until January, and so far has only made one cabinet appointment, naming his- who he calls"ice baby" due to her supposedly unflappable temperament - as his White House chief of staff.
During his campaign, he repeatedly railed against undocumented immigrants, employing violent rhetoric about those who"poison the blood" of the United States. Migrants commit fewer crimes proportionately than the native population, though foreign suspects have been named in a few high-profile cases of violent attacks on women and children, infuriating Republicans.The number of US border patrol encounters with migrants crossing over from Mexico illegally is now about the same as in 2020, the last year of Trump's presidency, after peaking at a record 250,000 for the month of December 2023.
