Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) called for President-elect Trump’s new border czar Tom Homan to be confirmed by the Senate. “I do think that if they are going to implore him with the type of power that he believes that he’s going to have, then he should absolutely be confirmed by the Senate,” Crockett said Tuesday on CNN. Homan previously served as the acting director of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. Shortly after Trump won the election earlier this fall, Homan was selected for the new position of “border czar.” Trump, for months, promised to launch the country’s largest deportation operation. Homan said he will follow through on that promise and has engaged in a back-and-forth with Denver’s mayor Mike Johnston over the issue, stating he will jail the mayor if he refuses to participate in deportations. In 2019, Trump sent a nomination to the Senate for Homan to formally lead ICE, but Homan withdrew his nomination rather than face a Senate confirmation process. Now, in his newest position, he won’t have to face the confirmation process that all of Trump’s Cabinet will endure. The border czar position is not an official government title, but Homan is expected to oversee day-to-day operations and strategy on border security and enforcement in an adviser capacity. Crockett argued Tuesday that someone like Homan with the power granted to him in the new position should go through the same process as Trump’s other nominees. “At the end of the day, he should have to go through the same level of scrutiny if he is going to get this type of power,” she said. In this new role, Homan will be work under and beside Trump’s Department of Homeland Security pick, Gov. Kristi Noem (R-S.D.). Homan’s role in the administration has concerned immigration advocates, since he plans to implement workplace raids, potential family separations and deportations of U.S. citizens’ immediate family members.
