Homan took to X to say that 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," he said. "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," he said.

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.

His administration has expanded expedited removal, removed limits on "sensitive places" on ICE agents, and launched raids across the country - while also suing "sanctuary" jurisdictions.

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 - a 156% increase. Arrests of criminal aliens in local jails have gone up 59%.

On "America's Newsroom," Homan was asked when he is likely to run out of criminal illegal immigrant targets.

"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.
