Donald Trump Plans to Hire This Project 2025 Author to ‘Regain Control’ of Border

The former president said Tom Homan, who was connected to the controversial family separation policy at the border, is all lined up if Trump wins another term.

GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump plans to recruit Project 2025 author Tom Homan if he wins a second term in the White House. Trump brought up Homan’s name when he was asked about his immigration plans during a Tuesday interview on California’s KFI radio station, reported Newsweek. “You’ve seen Tom,” Trump told host Josh Kobylt. “He’s coming on board.” Homan was previously Trump’s acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement from 2017 to 2018–specifically connected to the family separation policy. Homan was also listed as an author on a Project 2025 policy document that proposes the mass detention and deportation of undocumented and illegal immigrants to “regain control of the border.” During a conversation with the Conservative Political Action Conference last year, Homan reportedly said he was “sick and tired” of hearing about family separation. “I’m still being sued over that.” He added, “I don’t give a s--t, right? Bottom line is, we enforced the law.” Trump’s camp told Newsweek that he has not endorsed Project 2025.
