Border Patrol agents are “ecstatic” that immigration-enforcement veteran Tom Homan will serve as border czar in the second Trump administration, a union spokesman told The Daily Signal.
“We have somebody now that’s [come up] within the ranks,” Manny Bayon, president of the National Border Patrol Council for the San Diego area, said of Homan. “He was an Immigration and Customs Enforcement director before, and he wants to fix it.”
On Nov. 10, Trump named Homan border czar for his incoming administration.
The National Border Patrol Council, the union for Border Patrol agents, officially endorsed Trump for president in October.
