(Opinion) Border Czar Tom Homan has been working nonstop with fellow members of President Trump’s administration to secure the southern border. As most of you know, it was a disaster under Joe Biden and his administration because he did nothing but sweep it under the rug.
They did not care who or how many people crossed the border illegally. Heck, they created an app to process people into the United States faster but that was all brought to a screeching halt once President Trump was sworn in.
The number of encounters is way down according to Tom Homan who posted the good news on the X platform.
Homan said,
“In the last 24 hours the US Border Patrol has encountered a total of 229 aliens across the entire southwest border.
That is down from a high of over 11,000 a day under Biden. I started as a Border Patrol Agent in 1984 and I don’t remember the numbers ever being that low.
President Trump promised a secure border and he is delivering.

As a follow up Homan later posted,
“Interior arrests by ICE have increased more than 137% under President Trump. Arrests of aliens with criminal convictions have doubled under President Trump. The arrests of illegal alien gang members has also doubled.
Our streets and neighborhoods are that much safer under President Trump. We are less than a month in and have more to do. ~ Thomas D. Homan, US Border Czar”

“Great to see law and order being restored under President Trump’s leadership, keeping our communities safe from crime and violence.
His efforts to increase interior arrests and target criminal aliens are truly making a difference, we need more of this common sense approach to immigration enforcement.
Thanks for sharing the facts, Tom, it’s refreshing to see someone speaking truth to power and highlighting the successes of the Trump administration.”

America is back under President Trump and his administration. Leadership has been restored by the people and our will is being executed! Whether it be the hard work that is being done by Elon Musk and the Doge team or Tom Homan and fellow team members, President Trump is keeping his promise to Make America Great Again.
