President-elect Donald Trump late Sunday named his former Immigration and Customs Enforcement director, Thomas Homan, as the country's next "border czar."

Homan was one of the key figures behind the controversial family separation policy undertaken by the previous Trump adminstration.

President-elect Donald Trump announced Sunday night that Tom Homan, who served as the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in his last administration, will be in charge of the nation’s borders.
