The Biden administration’s policies have consistently faced backlash, and recent comments from former Trump administration immigration chief, Tom Homan, underscore the effectiveness of stronger border policies implemented under President Donald Trump.

Tracking to meet the ambitious target of 600,000 deportations by January, Homan, who now serves as the White House deportation czar, lauded the ongoing efforts to increase border security and public safety.

With projections indicating a substantial increase in deportation numbers, Homan explained how a boost in agency resources and personnel has substantially changed the landscape of immigration enforcement.


“Under Trump’s presidency, we’ll be over 600,000 deportations by the start of the new year,” he told Axios.

Homan emphasized the focus on public safety, stating that the majority of deportations involve criminals, with another significant portion classified as national security threats.

This proactive approach aims not only at deporting illegal migrants but also at mitigating the flow of illicit activities, which surged during the last administration.

The most staggering revelation from Homan's findings is the drastic reduction in illegal migration, which dropped by an impressive 96 percent under Trump's leadership.

Prior to this, under the previous administration, thousands of migrants faced perilous journeys, resulting in over 4,000 deaths—an unacceptable statistic that highlights the dire consequences of unsecured borders.

In contrast, under Trump, the country witnessed immense strides in border safety and the prevention of narcotics like fentanyl entering the United States at alarming rates.

“Over 250,000 Americans lost their lives to fentanyl during the prior administration; drug cartels thrived while our borders were open,” Homan noted, framing the current measures as not just a humanitarian imperative but a crucial national security strategy.

Moreover, there's evidence that heightened enforcement is prompting self-deportation among illegal migrants, with approximately 1.4 million choosing to leave the country voluntarily, a reflection of growing unease about enforcement actions.

Homan's remarks come on the heels of efforts to elevate leadership within Customs and Border Patrol, a clear indication of the government's commitment to restoring order and safety at the border.

The Trump administration’s legacy shaped a more secure and controlled border environment, one that Homan believes is vital for the wellbeing of all Americans.

As the debate around immigration continues to unfold, it raises important questions about transparency, safety, and the future of American borders—all areas where the previous administration's actions provide a contrasting framework to current policies.

With thousands of lives at stake, the push for heightened deportation numbers is a crucial next step in reclaiming safety and security, and a renewed call for adherence to the principles that prioritize the law and the safety of American citizens.
