Incoming border czar Thomas Homan joined Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in Eagle Pass, Texas, on Tuesday, and will serve meals to troops stationed at the border.
Incoming border czar Tom Homan joined Gov. Greg Abbott on Tuesday at a key border area in Texas, and will serve meals to troops stationed there over Thanksgiving – praising the governor's 'unprecedented success' in securing the border, ahead of what is expected to be significant cooperation between the Trump administration and Abbott’s team next year. Homan and Abbott served meals to Texas National Guard soldiers and Texas Department of Public Safety troopers in Eagle Pass, Texas.
Abbott, meanwhile, has clashed repeatedly with the Biden administration over border security as his state bore the brunt of the historic migrant crisis at the southern border. Numbers hit record highs in 2023, but dropped sharply in 2024. Texas has put that down in part to its own efforts.
We're already planning what we're going to do to lock down the state of Texas,' he said. 'Gov. Abbott's doing a great job so far. Illegal crossings in Texas are down over 80% because of the great work by Gov. Abbott, and he's been successful because he has taken the Trump policies and put them to work.' 'We're going to partner up and help him do 100% security on his border, and we're going to do that across the southwest border,' he said.
We’ll use every tool and strategy available to hold the line,' he said. Later Monday, he told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that he was thankful for the incoming administration and the role Homan will play in it. ’m thankful that we have Tom Homan as the incoming border czar who is going to help execute those laws and enforce those laws and make sure that we get back to restoring order.' The administration will face significant opposition from Democratic officials throughout the country, who have promised not to co-operate with the administration's deportation plan. Denver Mayor Mike Johnston said this week that he was prepared to go to jail over his opposition to mass deportations.
