Border Czar UNLEASHED — 460 Arrests Instantly!

Border Czar Tom Homan’s unwavering enforcement message since inauguration day signals that the Trump administration’s promise to secure America’s borders and deport criminal illegal aliens isn’t just talk—it’s a mission already delivering results that the previous administration refused to pursue.

Within 36 hours of taking office, operations resulted in over 460 arrests of illegal aliens accused of serious crimes
The Border Czar’s approach contrasts sharply with the Biden administration’s open-border policies that allowed over 11 million illegal entries

Immediate Action Following Inauguration

Tom Homan assumed his role as Border Czar on January 20, 2025, and enforcement operations accelerated immediately. Within just 36 hours of President Trump’s inauguration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested over 460 illegal aliens accused of serious crimes. This rapid response demonstrates the administration’s commitment to prioritizing public safety threats and removing dangerous criminal aliens from American communities. The swift action stands in stark contrast to the previous administration’s approach, which many conservatives viewed as dangerously lax on border security and enforcement.

Decades of Border Enforcement Experience

Homan brings more than 35 years of immigration enforcement experience to his position. He began his career in 1984 as a Border Patrol agent after serving as a police officer in West Carthage, New York. His advancement through Immigration and Naturalization Service roles included investigator and supervisor positions before President Obama appointed him as ICE’s executive associate director of Enforcement and Removal Operations in 2013. During his tenure as acting ICE Director from January 2017 to June 2018 under President Trump’s first term, arrests increased by 38 percent, reaching 41,319 by April 2017.

Consistent Message Amid Political Turbulence

Homan recently reiterated that his enforcement message has remained unchanged since the administration began on January 20th. This consistency reflects the administration’s determination to follow through on campaign promises regarding border security and deportations. Heritage Foundation’s Kevin Roberts praised Homan as “precisely the leader” needed to end what conservatives characterize as Biden’s border invasion. The Border Czar’s approach prioritizes rule of law and public safety, targeting individuals who pose threats to American communities while acknowledging the complexity of enforcement operations and their impact on families.

Reversing Failed Biden Border Policies

The Trump administration’s border strategy directly addresses what many conservatives view as catastrophic failures of the previous administration. During the Biden years, over 11 million illegal entries occurred, creating what Heritage Foundation fellows describe as an invasion that undermined national sovereignty and public safety. Homan’s appointment signals a return to enforcement-first policies that prioritize American citizens’ security. His track record includes overseeing high deportation numbers during the Obama administration—432,000 in 2013 alone—demonstrating effectiveness across party lines when enforcement is prioritized over political considerations favoring illegal immigration.

The Border Czar’s work represents a fundamental shift in how the federal government approaches border security and immigration enforcement. Homan has made clear that all individuals in the country illegally should be concerned about enforcement actions, though operations prioritize those who pose public safety threats. This comprehensive approach to immigration law enforcement restores the principle that laws must be enforced consistently rather than selectively ignored based on political calculations. For Americans frustrated by years of open-border policies that compromised national security and community safety, Homan’s consistent message since day one offers tangible evidence that this administration takes border security seriously and will follow through on its commitments to restore order and protect American citizens.
