\nTrump on Monday praised Homan, whom he appointed as acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement director shortly after taking office in 2017, as a \u201cstalwart on Border Control\u201d in a Truth Social post announcing the pick.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a strong signal that despite his campaign-trail disavowals, Trump is willing to welcome those aligned with Project 2025 into his administration. But putting Homan in the White House, and not in charge of an agency, will limit his legal authority over border policy, and force him to work through people who have been confirmed by the Senate, or through those holding relevant posts as acting officials or through recess appointments.”<\/p>\n
