During a 100-day press conference, Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, highlighted the administration's success in significantly reducing the number of illegal aliens released compared to the Biden administration, emphasizing that only nine individuals were released under extraordinary circumstances. These include four material witnesses needed for a criminal trial, four individuals with extreme medical conditions, and one humanitarian case. The contrast is stark when compared to thousands released daily under Biden and over 10,000 encounters at locations like Eagle Pass, Texas. Homan asserts that the administration has achieved the most secure border in U.S. history, attributing their policies to saving lives and reducing migrant encounters. The administration plans to further tighten immigration control by signing executive orders targeting sanctuary cities, with a continued focus on enforcing strict border policies and self-deportation measures through the updated CBP Home app.

Tom Homan, Trump's border czar, reported that only nine illegal aliens were released due to exceptional circumstances during a 100-day period, which is a significant reduction compared to the Biden administration's daily releases.

The nine releases included four material witnesses for a criminal trial, four individuals with severe medical conditions, and one case of humanitarian concern, showcasing the administration's selective approach.

Homan contrasted this with the thousands of daily releases and over 10,000 migrant encounters at sites like Eagle Pass, Texas, under the Biden administration, highlighting the current administration's accomplishments.

The Trump administration claims to have established the most secure border in U.S. history, with policies credited for saving lives and drastically reducing migrant encounters at the border.

Upcoming executive orders are expected to crack down on sanctuary cities, enhancing cooperation between federal and local authorities on immigration enforcement.

The administration introduced the CBP Home app, designed to facilitate self-deportation for those in the country illegally, replacing the CBP One app aimed at assisting entry procedures.

Data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection shows a substantial decrease in border apprehensions, with March 2025 figures being significantly lower than the same period in 2024, underscoring the administration's border security efforts.
