Speaking Fox and friends This morning, Tom Homan – Trump’s new border czar – revealed that his family is “currently away from home” as they have been receiving death threats since his appointment was announced by the newly elected President on Truth Social last night.

Homan dismissively told the hosts that such threats are “something we will deal with.”

“They’re not going to bully me away,” he added.

The official explained that his job will be to fulfill Trump’s promise to carry out “the largest deportation operation in history” and that he will begin targeting those who “a federal judge said you had to go and they don’t.”

Addressing migrants, Homan said: “You have the right to seek asylum. You have the right to a judge. We make sure that happens… (But if the) judge says you have to go home, then we have to take them home.”
