President-elect Donald Trump has promised mass deportations and people are volunteering to assist in those efforts.
Thousands of retired law enforcement officers and military veterans have stepped forward to be a part of the team to track and deport those in the nation illegally, incoming “Border Czar” Thomas Homan said on “Fox & Friends” on Monday.
“I shut my phone off Friday night because I couldn’t handle the phone calls, and texts and emails from thousands of ICE agents and border patrol agents excited about the rumor I’m coming back,” the incoming border czar, who was the former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said.
“But more important than that, thousands of retired agents, retired Border Patrol agents, retired military [want] to come in an volunteer to help this president secure the border and do the deportation operation,” he said.
Last week, the president-elect announced he was naming Homan to his new post on the Truth Social platform.
“I am pleased to announce that the Former ICE Director, and stalwart on Border Control, Tom Homan, will be joining the Trump Administration, in charge of our Nation’s Borders (“The Border Czar”), including, but not limited to, the Southern Border, the Northern Border, all Maritime, and Aviation Security. I’ve known Tom for a long time, and there is nobody better at policing and controlling our Borders. Likewise, Tom Homan will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin. Congratulations to Tom. I have no doubt he will do a fantastic, and long awaited for, job,” he said.
Homan subsequently spoke to Donald Trump Jr. on his “Triggered” podcast via Rumble where he promised “shock and awe” on the first day of the new administration when it comes to deportations of illegal immigrants.
“What’s your overarching message to Americans who are eager for major border action on minute one? Like, on inauguration day, one second in, how much will you be able to improve the lives of everyday Americans?” the president-elect’s son said to him.
“I got three words for them – shock and awe,” the incoming border czar said.
