The Trump administration's incoming border czar has criticized Democratic governors who have stated that they will protect immigrants in their states from mass deportation raids, warning them not to obstruct deportation efforts conducted by the administration.

President-elect Donald Trump recently announced that a contributor to the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 political initiative will be named Border Czar under his administration.

Homan, who led immigration enforcement during part of Trump's first administration, appeared at the Republican National Convention in July, telling supporters: "I got a message to the millions of illegal immigrants that Joe Biden's released in our country: You better start packing now."
