Border czar Tom Homan says after meeting with Kristi Noem, President-elect Donald Trump's pick for Homeland Security secretary, “she understands” what is needed to tackle the immigration crisis. praised.
Homan told the Post that he had a fruitful discussion with Noem recently at Mar-a-Lago to develop a strategy for border closures and mass deportations, and that the conversation gave him “a great feeling that she would do a great job.” I am convinced,” he added.
“I explained to her many of my plans and ideas,” Homan said, declining to elaborate on the specifics of what the two discussed. “She asked very detailed questions, so I figured it out.”
“She has some ideas of her own that I think will add to what we’re trying to do, so I think she’s a quick learner and 100 percent committed. “I think she's a great choice,” he added.
When asked about the details of Noem's DHS plan, Homan said she wasn't ready to share them “yet.”
Homan previously shared part of his plan to address the illegal immigration problem, saying he would “flood” sanctuary cities with ICE agents if they refused to cooperate with the federal government. He also said the incoming administration would use the military to assist ICE in carrying out deportations.
If confirmed, Noem will oversee the operations of federal border and immigration officials as the Trump administration seeks to shut down illegal immigration and mass deportation.
While serving as governor of South Dakota, Noem first sent the National Guard to the state border to help stop illegal border crossings in Texas.
She also called for the federal government to punish sanctuary cities that don't cooperate and fought against a federal court ruling that found some of Arizona's voting laws disadvantaged minority voters.
“Christie has been very strong on border security. She was the first governor to deploy the National Guard to help fight the Biden border crisis in Texas, and they deployed it eight times in total.” This was stated in a statement announcing the selection for the Ministry of Security.
“She will work closely with 'Border Czar' Tom Homan to secure the border and ensure that the American mainland is safe from enemies.”
