Tom Homan notes ‘significant difference’ at border since Trump’s White House return
Border czar Tom Homan said even though President Donald Trump has only been back in office since Monday afternoon, the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border has changed dramatically.
Within hours of entering office, Trump signed several executive orders regarding immigration, including declaring a national emergency over the matter. Additionally, Trump ended the catch-and-release practice, birthright citizenship, and the CBP One app. In the meantime, he suspended foreign aid and refugee resettlements.
“The greatest president in my lifetime, he’s back. Because in two days, the last 24 hours, total apprehensions on the southwest border, 766. Compare that to the 10 to 12,000 Biden had at one time,” Homan said on Fox News’s Fox & Friends on Wednesday. “Just yesterday, in the last 24 hours, ICE arrested over 308 — 308 — serious criminals. Some of them were murderers. Some of them were rapists. Some raped a child. Some were sexual assault of a child. So ICE is doing their job and prioritizing just as the president said they would.”
This came as a preview to the weekly briefings Homan promised to hold in an effort “to be transparent.” He reiterated his commitment to “save lives” with these policies.
Meanwhile, the Laken Riley Act advanced in the Senate, moving one step closer to Trump’s desk for his signature. The law would entail that illegal immigrants charged, arrested, or convicted of certain crimes be held in federal detention until they are deported.
However, there are still some 22 Democratic attorneys general who are opposing Trump’s new immigration policies in various forms. A group of 18, led by California Attorney General Rob Bonta, is suing the administration for ending birthright citizenship.
