Whether they want to admit it or not, the Left doesn’t care about securing the border. Now it’s not up to them
Because Tom Homan unveiled a massive overhaul at the Southern Border that left Democrats fuming.
Bolstering Border Security: Trump’s Ambitious Deportation Drive
Under President Donald Trump’s steadfast leadership, his administration’s “border czar,” Tom Homan, has unveiled an aggressive plan to ramp up Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations, targeting at least 7,000 illegal immigrant arrests daily—a figure more than double the current quota.
This bold initiative, empowered by the passage of the transformative One Big Beautiful Bill, underscores Trump’s unwavering commitment to reversing the open-border policies of the Biden era and restoring law and order to America’s immigration system.
With unprecedented budget increases and a clear mandate, the administration is poised to achieve historic success in securing the nation’s borders.
A Robust Response to Past Failures: Homan’s Call to Action
Speaking to reporters outside the White House on Monday, Homan emphasized the urgency of the expanded deportation campaign, stating:
“And for those that say 3,000 a day is too much, I want to remind them, do the math, we have to arrest 7,000 every single day for the remainder of this administration just to catch the ones Biden released into the nation.”
This resolute stance reflects the administration’s determination to address the surge of illegal immigrants released under the previous administration.
The One Big Beautiful Bill, signed into law by President Trump on July 4, allocates significant funding to hire 10,000 new ICE officers and double detention capacity, equipping the agency to execute this ambitious goal.
The bill’s passage has already “turbocharged” Trump’s deportation efforts, as Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told The Post, building on a remarkable 93% drop in border encounters and an 85% reduction in apprehensions since January 2025.
Empowering Enforcement: Trump’s Vision for a Secure America
The One Big Beautiful Bill, a nearly 900-page legislative triumph, has provided ICE with a massive budget boost, enabling the hiring of 10,000 additional officers and expanding detention facilities to accommodate the increased arrests.
White House adviser Stephen Miller’s push for 3,000 daily arrests has already strained existing capacity, prompting Homan’s call for an even more aggressive target to tackle the backlog left by Biden’s lax policies.
Starting with a quota of 1,800 arrests per day in January 2025, the administration raised expectations in May, and the new 7,000-arrest goal reflects Trump’s unrelenting focus on restoring order.
Coupled with a 93% plunge in border encounters, an 85% reduction in apprehensions, and zero releases under programs like CBP One and CHNV, these efforts highlight the administration’s extraordinary success in curbing illegal immigration and combating drug trafficking, with 1,029 pounds of fentanyl seized since Trump took office.
