Major Drop in Daily Encounters With Illegal Immigrants, Border Czar Says

Daily encounters at the southern border have significantly plummeted, according to President Donald Trump’s border czar Tom Homan.

“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,” Homan said in a statement on X. “I started as a Border Patrol Agent in 1984 and I don’t remember the numbers ever being that low.”

Homan said that Trump pledged a secure border, and he is delivering on that promise.
