AlterNet - Trump border czar declares he will 'absolutely' need to use 'military and special ops'

Donald Trump’s former acting director of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Tom Homan, who has been named the “border czar” for the incoming second Trump administration, says the U.S. Armed Forces and special operations teams will need to be involved in the border efforts President-elect Trump repeatedly promised on the campaign trail.
Trump on Sunday announced Homan will be “in charge of our Nation’s Borders,” and “will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin,” CBS News reported.
“You absolutely need military and special ops,” Homan told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo Tuesday morning, citing Mexican drug cartels. Homan added, “President Trump has said he’s going to declare these cartels terrorist organizations.”
“So is the U.S. Military involved here, Tom?” Bartiromo had asked. “Are you hoping that the military helps, because you’re dealing with some really serious uh serious people on the other side, as President Trump once called them, these ‘bad hombres.’ I’m talking about the drug cartels.”
