US president-elect Donald Trump said late on Sunday he was bringing back hardline immigration official Tom Homan to oversee the country's borders in the incoming administration.
The 78-year-old Republican tycoon has pledged to launch - on day one of his presidency - the largest deportation operation of undocumented immigrants in US history.
"I am pleased to announce that the Former ICE Director, and stalwart on Border Control, Tom Homan, will be joining the Trump Administration, in charge of our Nation's Borders ("The Border Czar")," Trump posted on his social network Truth Social.
"I've known Tom for a long time, and there is nobody better at policing and controlling our Borders."
Trump said Homan will be in charge of "all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin".

UNLEARNING THE SUSTAINABLE WAY
In 2012, environmental activist Jyoti Raghavan Khanduja was returning from a family vacation in Jim Corbett National Park back to her home in Gurugram. As her car neared the Ghazipur landfill, a sharp stench sliced through the already polluted air, conjuring a dystopian image as if straight from Charles Dickens’ Hard Times. \"It was a horrendous sight. There was a monster of garbage there. It was a wake-up call to create a community of conscious children who are ready to tackle future challenges—poor waste management, rising pollution, water crisis, food shortages, labour crises and other such problems. I wanted them to be concerned for the environment right from the start,\" she says as she walks me around the vast expanse of her new community-driven school, Forest Spirit Learning, in the foothills of the forested Aravalli mountain range in Shikohpur, Gurugram.
