Trump increases Trudeau’s tension! Border command handed over to Tom Homan, Canada on ‘high alert’

United States Border: US President-elect Donald Trump announced late on Sunday (November 10) that he is bringing back hardline immigration officer Tom Homan to monitor the country’s borders in the incoming administration.

Trump wrote on his social network Truth Social, “I am pleased to announce that former ICE Director and Border Control veteran Tom Homan will be joining the Trump Administration and manning our nation’s borders. I’ve been looking forward to Tom a lot.” And there is no one better than him in policing and controlling our borders.”

This policy, sometimes referred to as “zero tolerance”, began in 2017 and was expanded in early 2018, but the administration withdrew it after a large number of Americans called it inhumane. Took it back.

Why is Canada on high alert?
