Tom Homan Becomes White House Border Czar

Tom Homan became White House Border Czar on January 20, 2025, taking office with the incoming administration on Inauguration Day. The border czar role is a senior staff appointment made by the President; it carries no Senate confirmation, so there is no confirmation vote to record for this entry.

The mission that started here is the public face of the administration’s immigration-enforcement drive — the file this chronicle tracks through the DHS and ICE record and the border figures on the scoreboard, with Homan as one of its loudest on-camera voices.
