DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Rides ATVs During Visit to Border as She Celebrates Plunge in Illegal Crossings; Only Nine Illegal Immigrants Released Into US During Trump’s First 100 Days — 99.99% Drop From Same Period Under Biden: Homan
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem rides ATVs during visit to border as she celebrates plunge in illegal crossings:
Kristi Noem shook hands with border agents, cruised around on an ATV, and hitched a ride in a helicopter — action hero-style — as the Department of Homeland Security secretary celebrated the drastic plunge in illegal crossings at the southern border.
The glam shots of Noem’s border visit, posted to the DHS X account on Tuesday, celebrated “the most secure border in American history” after President Trump’s first 100 days in office.
In the photos, Noem sports her $60K gold Rolex watch — which she famously wore to the notorious hellhole prison in El Salvador and a meeting with Colombia’s foreign minister last month.
“The world is hearing our message: do not come to this country illegally. If you do, we will arrest you, deport you and you will never return,” DHS said in the post.
Only nine illegal migrants were released into the U.S. during Trump’s first 100 days, according to Trump’s border czar Tom Homan — a 99.99% decrease compared to the same period last year when 184,000 so-called “gotaways” were allowed to flow into the country under former President Joe Biden. —>READ MORE HERE
Only nine illegal immigrants released into US during Trump’s first 100 days — 99.99% drop from same period under Biden: Homan
Just nine illegal migrants were released into the US during President Trump’s first 100 days in office — compared to 184,000 in the same period last year then-President Biden, border czar Tom Homan said Tuesday.
The stunning figures came as the White House marked a 99.99% decrease in so-called “gotaways” — unlawful entrants not turned back whom the administration called “the top threat to public safety.”
“In that same time frame that we released nine, [the Biden administration] released 184,000 illegal aliens in the country,” Homan said on “Fox and Friends” early Tuesday.
“President Trump is a game changer,” Homan said.
“What’s happening on the border, he did in seven weeks what Joe Biden couldn’t — or wouldn’t — do in four years.”
Homan stressed that the nine who were allowed in all had good reasons. Four were material witnesses in criminal investigations they wanted to testify in court, another four were in “extreme medical distress” and one was released on unspecified humanitarian grounds, Homan said.
Under the Biden administration, Border Patrol officials would see up to 15,000 migrants crossing the border per day, Homan said.
“You know what the number was yesterday? 178 … 178 across 2,000 miles of border,” he said of the dramatic decline in those even attempting entry. Illegal border encounters are down 95%, the White House said. —>READ MORE HERE
