Tom Homan Pledges Aggressive Action on Border Crisis

Former ICE Director Tom Homan, set to become the border czar for President-elect Donald Trump, is wasting no time outlining his vision for tackling the border crisis. In a recent interview on Hannity, Homan laid out an ambitious plan to address what he calls the consequences of “four years of disastrous open-border policies” under the Biden administration.

Speaking with former Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway, Homan pledged to investigate foreign governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and even United Nations agencies that have allegedly contributed to the unprecedented surge of migrants at the southern border.

“We’re not just going to address what’s happening at the border—we’re going to find out who’s behind it,” Homan said. “From NGOs facilitating illegal crossings to foreign nations complicit in pushing this crisis, they will be held accountable.”

Although Trump’s second term doesn’t officially begin until January 20th, Homan revealed that efforts to secure the southern border have already commenced. He has been in close communication with Texas Governor Greg Abbott, coordinating strategies to reinforce border security measures.

“We’re working hand-in-hand with Texas,” Homan said. “We’re going to show the American people that we’re serious about fixing this crisis from day one.”

Homan’s remarks underscore the Trump administration’s intention to immediately reverse Biden-era policies, such as halting the construction of the border wall and loosening immigration enforcement.

Homan singled out NGOs as key contributors to the migrant influx, accusing them of exploiting loopholes in U.S. immigration laws and aiding illegal crossings. He also criticized foreign governments for facilitating caravans and encouraging mass migration toward the United States.

“America’s sovereignty is non-negotiable,” Homan declared. “We will investigate every entity, foreign or domestic, that has played a role in undermining our laws.”

Homan: “Governor Abbott and I are not waiting until January 20th. I’ve been out in Texas. We’re already meeting and planning how we can work together to help Texas secure their border at the highest level ever.

He’s done a great job. Illegal migration in Texas is down 86% because he has implemented many of Trump’s policies. He’s building border barriers like President Trump did, adding consequences for those who cross the border illegally, and arresting them for trespassing.”

People need to understand the Department of Public Safety (DPS) has done a lot. Not only is the government taking action to protect Texas, but they are also protecting the United States because most of these illegal aliens aren’t staying in Texas; they are moving across the country.

Every ounce of fentanyl intercepted means fewer overdose deaths. Every person arrested for trespassing is one less “gotaway.” They are fingerprinted, vetted, and at least we know they’re not terrorists. We’re going to follow this model across the Southwest border.”

Homan highlighted Texas as the blueprint for a nationwide strategy. He plans to contract out non-enforcement work, such as transportation and administrative duties, to free up officers for frontline deportation operations.

Homan: “My plan, which I’ve been very vocal about, is to contract out as much work as we can—work that doesn’t require a badge and a gun—because I need badges and guns on the street for deportation operations.

For example, transportation, whether it’s buses, ground, or air, as well as processing and administrative duties, should be contracted out. Right now, we have officers doing that work. I want to get them out of those administrative roles and onto the streets.

If these sanctuary states and cities keep pushing back, I’ll deploy extra resources and double manpower in those areas. When we can’t arrest someone in jail with one agent, it means we have to send a whole team out into the field to find that person, which increases risk.

This is the plan we’re putting together. Governor Abbott was the first to come to the table, and I accepted, shook his hand, and said, “Let’s go. Let’s move forward.””

Homan slammed the Biden administration’s immigration policies, accusing them of creating a humanitarian crisis.

He also revealed Trump’s administration’s intent to dig deeper into the forces behind the crisis.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the House Judiciary GOP has exposed what they call an “open-borders alliance” between the Biden-Harris Administration and United Nations bureaucrats that uses U.S. taxpayer dollars to enable illegal immigration.

The findings reveal that at least $81.7 million in taxpayer funds have been allocated to foreign nationals employed by the U.N., who advise migrants on ways to enter the United States.

This funding has established “migration centers” across Central and South America, facilitating nearly 70,000 aliens with potential resettlement options in the U.S.

According to the report, since 2021, the Biden-Harris Administration has overseen the release of nearly 5.8 million illegal immigrants into the U.S., with an additional 1.9 million entering as “gotaways” who evaded apprehension entirely.

The GOP committee argues that these numbers illustrate an administration bent on dismantling border security. Instead of fixing the problem, the administration has created a workaround through the Safe Mobility Initiative—a program designed to “avoid the optics of border crossings” by coordinating with U.N. agents in 13 Central and South American cities.

Kellyanne Conway: Tom Homan, you were a great colleague during the first Trump administration. You were one of the first appointees President Trump named because he takes border security very seriously.

When I interviewed you for Here’s the Deal on Fox Nation, you made it clear that Biden and Harris are the first administration in a long time not to secure the border. Why would a commander-in-chief take steps to leave the border unsecured?

Tom Homan:
Biden is the first president in history to intentionally leave the border unsecured—not because of mismanagement or incompetence, but by design. They want an open border because they believe these millions of people will be future Democratic voters.

Biden overturned the Trump census rule, which means people in sanctuary cities will be counted in the next census. This translates to more House seats for Democrats.

When the Trump team returns on January 20th, we’ll take control and hold people accountable. We’ll investigate what the United Nations had to do with this crisis, who in the Biden administration enabled it, and which NGOs were involved. We’ll be transparent and tell the American people the truth about this border crisis.

While Homan’s plans resonate with Trump supporters, they’re certain to face opposition from immigration advocates and global organizations. Critics argue that targeting NGOs and foreign governments risks escalating international tensions.

Nonetheless, Homan remains resolute. “This is about protecting American citizens and restoring the rule of law,” he said. “We’re ready to fight for our country.”

As the Trump administration prepares to take the reins, all eyes will be on how this bold approach unfolds.
