President-elect Donald Trump is actively forming his administration, bringing in notable political figures. Among those named, Rep. Mike Waltz has been tapped for the role of National Security Adviser. Waltz, a seasoned former Green Beret and congressman from Florida, is expected to focus on strengthening national defense and counterterrorism strategies.
Former ICE Director Tom Homan has been appointed as “border czar,” a role that highlights Trump’s continued focus on strict immigration policies. Homan’s leadership during Trump’s first term was marked by a significant decrease in illegal border crossings and controversial policies like family separations.
Additionally, former New York Rep. Lee Zeldin, who gained recognition as a staunch advocate for environmental deregulation, has been chosen to lead the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). His appointment signals a potential shift towards policies that favor industry growth over stricter environmental protections.
