Since returning to office, President Donald Trump has wasted no time signing a series of executive orders, many of which directly target the millions of undocumented immigrants residing in the United States.

One of these orders enforces the removal of individuals living in the country without proper documentation, with deportations already underway.

Who exactly is the US’ “border czar”?

First, let’s break it down— a “czar” refers to someone appointed by the government to oversee and coordinate policies in a specific area.

For the Trump administration, that role has been given to former US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) director Tom Homan. He was named “border czar” shortly after Trump secured his return to the White House as the 47th president.

In an interview with ABC News, the 63-year-old confirmed that with Trump’s recent executive orders on immigration, anyone residing in the US illegally is now “on the table” for deportation.

Homan also shared that the military has been sent to assist at the Mexican border, emphasizing that Trump is “sending a strong signal to the world, our border’s closed.”
