President Donald Trump announced that former acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement director Thomas Homan would be his administration's new "border czar" Friday morning.

“Tom Homan’s coming back, I would say that would be announced next week except I’d rather announce it now,” President Trump said in an interview with “Fox & Friends.” “He’s going to be very much involved with the border, that’s what he really wants to be involved with.”

So who is Thomas Homan, and what will he bring to the job? Here are a few things to know.

The announcement about Homan comes just days after the Trump administration announced that another immigration hawk, Ken Cuccinelli, has been tapped to head up United States Citizenship and Immigration Services and one day after news that Cuccinelli would be joined by John Zadrozny — another tough-on-immigration voice and ally of White House senior adviser Stephen Miller.
