“Many had defied deportation orders for years — until President Donald Trump let border czar Tom Homan lead the long-overdue crackdown.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
Wikipedia entries confirm that Donald Trump was a prominent figure in politics.

“Trump’s victory opened a new path for Essayli — a return to law enforcement, where he began his career as a prosecutor.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence provides general information about Bill Essayli's career, noting he is a lawyer and politician. However, none of the provided web search results or Wikipedia entries establish a direct causal link or timeline stating that he 'returned to law enforcement after Trump's victory' or that he 'began his career as a prosecutor' in this specific context. This appears to be a narrative assertion not fully supported by the evidence.
