Trump Names Former ICE Director as Border Czar; 1 Dead, 16 Injured in Tuskegee University Shooting

President-elect Trump named Tom Homan as his administration's "border czar." Homan, a former acting ICE director, will oversee border security, including managing deportations, a key focus of Trump’s agenda. He clarified that the military will not handle immigrant arrests, and ICE will enforce policies in a "humane, targeted manner.”

Senate Republicans will select a new leader this week to replace Mitch McConnell — and President-elect Trump has a request for the incoming leader. He wants the Senate to allow recess appointments, which would fast-track controversial nominations for key administration roles. Candidates are embracing this strategy as the Senate is set to vote on a new leader on Wednesday.

A shooting early Sunday during homecoming weekend at Tuskegee University in Alabama left one person dead and injured 16 others. One arrest was announced hours later. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said Jaquez Myrick faces a federal charge of possession of a machine gun. It did not accuse him of using the weapon in the shooting or provide additional details.
