Newly appointed border czar Tom Homan has issued a stern warning to those opposing President-elect Donald Trump's border security agenda. "[If] you're not going to help us, get the hell out of the way," he said during an appearance Monday, Nov. 11, on the "Fox & Friends" program on Fox News. Homan reiterated his commitment to the new role Trump has assigned him to take on after the real estate mogul is sworn in early next year. "If we can't get assistance from New York City [NYC], … we may have to double the number of agents we send in," said Homan. "Because we're going to do the job, we're going to do the job without you or with you. We're concentrating on public safety [threats], to human and national security [threats]. It's much easier to arrest a bad guy in jail." Homan, who formerly served as the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for five months during the first Trump administration, also urged the NYC government to give immigration authorities access to the Rikers Island jail. The facility is set to be closed in 2026 after city officials voted to shut it down in 2019. "Let us get the bad guy in jail," said Homan It's safer for the alien, it's safer for the officer, it's safer for the community. If you release these bad guys out into the community, then we have to go find them – which puts the officer at risk. It [also] puts the community at risk." In a post on Truth Social late Sunday, Nov. 10, Trump himself named Homan as his "border czar." "I've known Tom for a long time, and there is nobody better at policing and controlling our borders," the president-elect wrote. In his new position, Homan will be in charge of "all deportation of illegal aliens back to their country of origin."

Homan: Trump's mass deportation plan won't involve family separations

Late last month, Homan reiterated that Trump's mass deportation plan – which the border czar will oversee – won't involve the separation of families. He put forward this argument when he appeared on the CBS News program "60 Minutes" on Oct. 27. "Of course, there is a way to avoid families being separated. Families can be deported together," Homan told Cecilia Vega of CBS News. "Let me tell you it's not going to be first. It's not going to be a mass sweep of neighborhoods. It's not going to be building concentration camps. I've read it all. It's ridiculous." (Related: Former ICE Director Tom Homan: Trump's mass deportation plan won't separate families, since WHOLE FAMILIES of illegals will be deported together.) Homan stressed that the plan would prioritize public safety and national security, allowing ICE and federal authorities to focus on individuals with deportation orders already issued by judges. When asked about costs, he said the need for national security and law enforcement justifies the expense. The former ICE director was then asked why children should leave the country where they were born and raised. He responded: "Because their [parents] absolutely entered the country illegally, had a child knowing [they were] in the country illegally. So [they] created that crisis." Homan also debunked accounts that separating families at the border was his idea. "Not true. I didn't write the memorandum to separate families. I signed the memo. Why'd I sign the memo? I was hoping to save lives," he said. "While you and I are talking right now, a child's going to die in the border. So we thought, 'Maybe if we prosecute people, they'll stop coming.'"
