‘Heart of cruelty’: Trump border chief condemned over migrant policy Former housing secretary Julián Castro says Tom Homan embodies ‘dark heart’ of incoming administration.
Julián Castro, the former US housing secretary, has accused Donald Trump’s incoming border enforcement chief of ushering in “cruelty part two” towards migrants arriving in America under the president-elect’s planned border policies.
Speaking on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Castro sharply criticised Tom Homan, Trump’s newly appointed “border czar”, over his comments about family detention centers and the separation of migrant families.
“It just shows you, again, the heart of cruelty, the dark heart that he and the Trump administration folks have for these migrants,” Castro said on Friday.
Homan, who previously served as acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, recently outlined plans that could see the return of family detention centres – a practice ended under the Biden administration.
