WASHINGTON—Donald Trump has chosen a pugnacious anti-illegal immigration hard-liner, Tom Homan, to oversee the president-elect’s proposed mass deportation campaign, picking a key figure from his first term who makes no apologies for some of its most controversial policies,

Donald Trump’s incoming US border czar Tom Homan is expected to issue “mass deportations” across the country, reveals GOP commentator Reid Rasner.

The president-elect says he'll nominate Republican Matt Gaetz of Florida to lead the Justice Department, putting a loyalist in the role of the nation's top prosecutor.

The conservative lawmaker is a noted hawk on China, Cuba and Iran, and was a finalist to be Trump’s running mate this summer.
