Incoming border czar Homan to join Texas Gov. Abbott at key border point, serve meals to troops

Incoming border czar Tom Homan will join Gov. Greg Abbott on Tuesday at a key border area in Texas, and will serve meals to troops stationed there over Thanksgiving – ahead of what is expected to be significant cooperation between the Trump administration and Abbott’s team next year.

Homan and Abbott will greet and serve meals to Texas National Guard soldiers and Texas Department of Public Safety troopers in Eagle Pass, Texas.

Homan was appointed “border czar” by President-elect Trump this month after Trump’s election win.
