The cabinet members and key advisers that Trump has picked are listed

Tom Homan, the ICE Director, was a Conservative and Controversy Sensitive When Donald Trump Returned His Presidency

President-elect Trump announced Sunday night that Tom Homan, his former acting head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), will join his second administration to oversee border control.

Homan warned at the Republican National Convention that Trump would wipe the Mexicans off the face of the earth for their role in getting the drug over the border.

During the time, he often appeared at White House press briefings to defend the actions of his agents and to praise Trump’s decision to allow agents to make more arrests of immigrants who are in the country illegally.

Homan was involved in the controversial family separation policy. More than 5,500 children of immigrants were separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border in 2018 under the administration’s short-lived “Zero Tolerance” policy. The Department of Homeland Security stated that as of April there were more than a thousand children without a confirmed reunification.

After much uproar from the public, President Trump signed an executive order stopping family separations in June last year, but days after President Biden took office in 2021, the Biden administration went back on their word.

The White House did not move Homan’s nomination to the Senate in time for him to be confirmed. He became a contributor to Fox News, joined the conservative Heritage Foundation and contributed to Project 2525, a controversial plan to change the federal government.

Trump had sought to distance himself from Project 2025 during his campaign, even though it overlaps with his own agenda. Donald Trump made immigration a big part of his campaign, and vowed to deport millions of immigrants who are in the country without authorization.

The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Rep. Elise Stefanik, has not been confirmed by a new Trump administration

“When we go out there we’re gonna know who we’re looking for, we most likely know where they’re going to be and it’s gonna be done in a humane manner,” Homan said, adding that it will focus on the “public safety threats and the national security threats first.”

In the days since Trump’s election, immigrants rights groups have said they stand ready to challenge his anti-migrant policies through protests, local legislation and lawsuits. And analysts from the Brookings Institution, the American Enterprise Institute and the Niskanen Center project that lower — potentially even negative — net migration to the U.S. would hurt the country’s economy, as NPR has reported.

On Monday, Trump offered Rep. Elise Stefanik, the New York Republican who chairs the House Republican Conference, to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. The role requires Senate confirmation, which is all but guaranteed in the soon-to-be Republican-controlled chamber.

Miller is likely to be one of the most controversial picks in a new Trump administration. The deputy job isn’t a cabinet position so he won’t need to be confirmed by the Senate.

“This is another fantastic pick by the president,” Vice President-elect JD Vance posted on x.com, an apparent confirmation of Miller’s rumored appointment, first reported by CNN.

He is known best for his role as the lead author of the immigration plans that caused children to be separated from their parents in the first months of the Trump administration.

Miller started America First Legal, an organization that was supposed to be a conservative spinoff of the American Civil Liberties Union. It worked with conservative lawyers who filed hundreds of lawsuits and legal demands, on behalf of conservative causes and against Democrats.

Miller said during one of the final rallies that “you can have your country back, you can have your future back, you can have your state back.”

The First Cabinet Member and Key Advisors: Marco Rubio as Secretary of State and Susie Wiles as Chief of Staff for the Trump White House

The selection officially brings Rubio into Trump’s fold and offers a new chapter in the evolving relationship between the former rivals for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. After years of working with Trump on foreign affairs, he became a close adviser to the billionaire before the day he was announced as his running mate. You can read more about Marco.

A source with knowledge of the selection said that Trump was likely to nominated Marco Rubio to be secretary of state. If he’s confirmed, Rubio would be the first Latino to become the country’s top diplomat.

Susie Wiles is the first appointee Trump named after the 2024 election. Wiles is the first female to serve as White House Chief of Staff. She has been working for the Trump political operation since the summer of 2016

Trump’s team will include Vice President-elect JD Vance and the rest of his Cabinet as well as high-ranking nominees — who require Senate confirmation — and also senior advisers who don’t require congressional approval.

As national security adviser, Rep. Mike Waltz will play an integral role in shaping U.S. policy on geopolitical conflicts ranging from the war in Ukraine to the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. Waltz, a former Army Green Beret, is a longtime Trump ally who has established himself as a leading critic of China in Congress.

Huckabee supports Israel but is a critic of the Biden administration’s handling of the Gaza war. He has previously spoken out against efforts to negotiate a ceasefire deal and called unauthorized settlements in the occupied West Bank “communities.”

Rep. Robbie Zeldin: Providing a Fair and Swift Deregulatory Derivation for the Environmental Protection Agency (hereafter the Tea Party)

In announcing his pick for the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, Trump said Zeldin “will ensure fair and swift deregulatory decisions that will be enacted in a way to unleash the power of American businesses,” adding that Zeldin will still maintain “the highest environmental standards.”

Zeldin, who previously represented Long Island, opposed a handful of climate-related legislation while serving in Congress, according to the environmental advocacy group League of Conservation Voters. More about Rep. Zeldin.
