Stephen Miller and Thomas Homan had critical roles in the first Trump administration and are unapologetic defenders of its policies, which included separating thousands of parents from their children at the border to deter illegal crossings.

Tom Homan is known as a hard-liner who will oversee the president-elect’s proposed mass-deportation efforts.

President-elect Trump announced former ICE acting director Tom Homan will oversee the nation's borders and "be in charge of all deportations" as the incoming "border czar." Homan was a supporter of Trump's controversial zero tolerance policy during his first term that led to separations of families.
