According to Tom Homan, the Trump administration’s border czar, President Trump’s leadership has led to the most secure border in U.S. history, with Border Patrol encountering only 95 illegal immigrants in a day.

“In the past 24 hours, the Border Patrol found a total of 95 unauthorized immigrants along the entire southern border,” Homan announced on X Tuesday night. “This is the lowest number ever recorded. In contrast, during the Biden administration, the numbers exceeded 10,000 per day.”

Homan added the Biden administration released the “vast majority” of the illegal immigrants its border patrol agents encountered back into the U.S.

“How many were released under Trump for May?” Homan asked. “Zero.”

As for the nine who were released, Homan explained the unusual circumstances. 

“Among them, four were crucial witnesses in a criminal case, needed to testify in a significant trial. Another four had severe medical conditions making it unsafe to return them. Lastly, one case involved a humanitarian concern,” he explained.

Fox News reported that, on Dec. 22, 2023, U.S. Customs and Border Protection data indicated there were 4,832 illegal immigrants released on that day alone. On that same day, there were just under 9,000 migrant encounters. 

At the ports of entry, there were 1,400 releases that day as a result of the CBP One app, which has since been changed to the CBP Home app. 

The CBP One app was a way for people seeking to enter the country to get prompted for the next steps, whereas the CBP Home app is meant for those in the country illegally to self-deport.
