Trump Keeps His Word: Illegal Border Crossings Drop 93%

In a recent interview on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, U.S. Border Czar Tom Homan shared updates on border security and immigration enforcement. Speaking from an undisclosed location, Homan outlined progress under the Trump administration and detailed new initiatives to strengthen national security.

Border Control Success

Homan revealed a 93% decrease in illegal border crossings. He credited this to the strong policies of President Trump. “President Trump is a game changer. No one has had the success he’s had on securing the border,” Homan said. He emphasized the need to know who’s coming, what’s coming, and why. “We need to know who’s coming, what’s coming, and why,” he stated.

Despite these results, Homan said more work is needed. Deportation operations have intensified, with nearly 5,000 arrests in the first week. “The majority are criminals,” he noted. Homan addressed media criticism about non-criminal arrests in sanctuary cities. He argued these arrests happen because sanctuary policies force agents into communities instead of jails. “If you want to be a sanctuary city, you’ll get what you don’t want—more agents in the community and more non-criminals arrested,” he warned.

Deportations and Guantanamo Bay Plans

Homan announced plans to move high-risk migrants to Guantanamo Bay within 30 days. “We’ve had a migrant processing center there for decades. We’re going to expand it,” Homan explained. This facility will house dangerous individuals until deportation. He highlighted cost efficiency and security benefits, aligning with Trump’s focus on effective immigration control.

Fighting Fentanyl and Cartels

Homan supported Trump’s tariffs on Canadian, Mexican, and Chinese goods to pressure these nations to combat drug trafficking. “These cartels have killed more Americans than every terrorist organization combined,” he declared. Homan praised Trump’s decision to label Mexican drug cartels as terrorist groups. This allows for a broader governmental response beyond U.S. borders. “They’re in every major city in this country,” he warned.

Homan criticized Mexico’s failure to curb illegal activities like sex trafficking and drug smuggling. “President Trump is exactly right in doing this,” he affirmed. He called for stronger accountability measures to address corruption and cartel influence.

Human Trafficking Efforts

On human trafficking, Homan confirmed law enforcement is active in dismantling trafficking operations in the U.S. “We’re involved,” he stated, noting the sensitivity of ongoing investigations. He hinted at future developments, assuring efforts are in motion.

Homan closed by expressing gratitude for the platform to discuss these issues. He reaffirmed his commitment to securing America’s borders and protecting its citizens. His insights shed light on the evolving challenges of U.S. border security.
