This is a serious appointment, unlike Biden's, whose policy was to flood the country with illegals under a novel interpretation of asylum.
In an interview on Fox News Channel's "Sunday Morning Futures," Homan said the military wouldn't be rounding up and arresting immigrants in the country illegally and that ICE would move to implement Trump's plans in a "humane manner."
"It's going to be a well-targeted, planned operation conducted by the men of ICE. The men and women of ICE do this daily. They're good at it," he said. "When we go out there, we're going to know who we're looking for. We most likely know where they're going to be, and it's going to be done in a humane manner." ...
"If you're here illegally, you better be looking over your shoulder."
He also said: "You've got my word. Trump comes back in January, I'll be in his heels coming back, and I will run the biggest deportation operation this country's ever seen."

By delegating this task to Homan, Trump achieves a measure of freedom to devote himself to advancing his other objectives through the Congress.
The big if in all this is, whether illegal asylees with a piece of paper showing they have a court date may legally remain in the US.
I can well imagine a liberal federal judge intervening to stop deportations of such people, forcing the issue to be litigated. This could tie up deportations for years.
Don't count on this going the way you think it will go because Trump appointed a tough guy.
