NEW: DHS Secretary Noem announced today that Todd Lyons will lead ICE as its acting director & will be tasked to carry out the Trump admin’s deportation plans.
Lyons is close w/ Tom Homan & led ICE’s elite Boston field office until last year. He is well respected within ICE & frequently joined his guys out in the field on their operations. He spent 8 years in the U.S. Air Force and in U.S. Special Operations command. He then went into civilian law enforcement, and was a SWAT team sniper.
I met Lyons last year when I embedded with him & his Boston ICE team. Their intel gathering was remarkable. They knew where every single target was going to be, almost down to the exact minute, and they arrested 4 alleged child rapists and a violent MS-13 gang member in a single morning. He is very outspoken against sanctuary policies and has extensive experience dealing with them in Boston & Massachusetts.
I got several texts from ICE contacts today who are excited to have Lyons at the helm.
He has a big task ahead of him, as President Trump wants large numbers of deportations, and ICE only has about 5,500 ERO (enforcement and removal officers) nationwide. ICE’s non detained docket had exploded to 7.7 million by the end of Biden’s presidency. ICE will need more resources and manpower - which will be up to Congress.

Tom Homan was the “acting ICE Director. He will now be the full time “Border Czar”.
Arrest Mayor Wu and Governor Healy, forthwith.
And AOC.
bttt
They prior acting director was demoted back to being in charge of raids because apparently he’s really good at that and not so much are being a DC bureaucrat.
Thanks for straightening that out. Homan is awesome.
Just another clown thats gonna flap his lips about arresting mayors and govenors that get in the way and then not do a thing when they do. Meanwhile Hector, the lowly gardener, will be rounded up and sent back home because he can’t fight back like a high ranking democrat.
Quit worrying about the “violent” so much and go for all the illegals that came in under phoney asylum. PICK UP THE PACE.
Tom Homan was the acting ICE Director in 2017 and 2018, not during this administration.

This article has info on the previous acting director.
It was not Homan.
Excellent news...
Tom Homan has that one task, just the control of the border, that is a massive undertaking for one individual. He'll be mighty busy until the end of time.
The temp replacement for the guy who resigned?
Noem has been pretty solid, unlike Bondi (so far).
