President Trump’s border czar Tom Homan<\/a> is touting the administration’s dramatic drop in illegal immigrant encounters at the southern border compared to the Biden administration.<\/p>\n

Homan took to X to say that Border Patrol “has encountered a total of 229 aliens across the entire southwest border.”<\/p>\n

“That is down from a high of over 11,000 a day under Biden,” he said. “I started as a Border Patrol Agent in 1984, and I don\u2019t remember the numbers ever being that low.”<\/p>\n

“President Trump promised a secure border and he is delivering,” he said.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration has come in with an agenda to launch a historic mass deportation campaign and to provide additional border security. Trump signed orders on day one restarting border wall construction, limiting the ability to claim asylum, declaring a national emergency and ending Biden-era parole programs.<\/p>\n

His administration has expanded expedited removal, removed limits on “sensitive places” on ICE agents, and launched raids across the country \u2013 while also suing “sanctuary” jurisdictions.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reported last week that illegal immigrant<\/a> arrests have soared.\u00a0According to Department of Homeland Security data, obtained by Fox News Digital, there were 11,791 interior ICE arrests from Jan 20 to Feb 8., compared to 4,969 during the same period in 2024. That\u2019s a 137% increase.<\/p>\n

Arrests of aliens with criminal histories have soared by nearly 100% from 4,526 in the same period in 2024 to 8,993 under Trump this year. Arrests of fugitive aliens at-large, meanwhile, have gone up from 2,164 to 5,538 \u2013 a 156% increase. Arrests of criminal aliens in local jails have gone up 59%.<\/p>\n

Fox News also reported that the daily average number of known gotaways \u2013 illegal migrants who successfully entered the U.S. without apprehension \u2013 at the\u00a0southern border<\/u><\/a> since the beginning of February has plummeted to just 132 per day, down 93% from the highest numbers when former President Joe Biden was in office.<\/p>\n

On “America’s Newsroom,” Homan was asked when he is likely to run out of criminal illegal immigrant targets.<\/p>\n

“We got almost 600,000 illegal aliens in the United States with a criminal conviction. So I won’t be happy till we eradicate every one of those,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
