The man President-elect Donald Trump has tapped to clamp down on illegal immigration has a personal connection to the U.S. northern border and he intends to tighten it to protect against what he calls significant national security threats.

Trump announced on Nov. 11 that former Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) acting director Tom Homan will oversee the work of federal entities involved in border security when the Trump administration enters the White House in early 2025.
