President Donald J. Trump and Border Czar Tom Homan are proving once again why America voted for real leadership. For the 13th straight month, U.S. Border Patrol has released zero illegal aliens into the United States. This remarkable streak marks a full year-plus of ending the disastrous catch-and-release policies that defined the previous administration’s open-border nightmare.
The numbers tell the story. Illegal crossings have plummeted to historic lows, with encounters at 30-year lows in some reports. DHS officials credit Trump’s tough stance and Homan’s relentless enforcement. No more paroling migrants into American cities with a court date years away — or never. Instead, those who break our laws are detained, processed, and removed. It’s common sense, and it’s working.
Tom Homan, the straight-shooting former ICE acting director, has been the driving force. As Border Czar, he’s overseen a transformation: ramped-up interior enforcement, record deportations, and a clear message that illegal entry will not be rewarded. Homan has repeatedly emphasized that “temporary means temporary” and that America will enforce its laws without apology. His leadership has onboarded thousands of new agents and quadrupled interior arrests targeting criminal offenders.
Compare this to the Biden years, when over 10 million encounters occurred and hundreds of thousands were released into the heartland. Crime, fentanyl deaths, and overwhelmed resources plagued communities from Texas to New York. Under Trump, that’s changing fast. The Secure America Act and executive actions have restored deterrence at the border like never before.
This zero-release policy isn’t just about stopping new entries — it’s restoring faith in the rule of law. Americans are seeing the results: safer streets, reduced strain on public services, and a sovereign nation once again in control of its destiny. Trump promised the most secure border in history, and with Homan by his side, he’s delivering.
Critics on the left howl about “cruelty,” but the real cruelty was the prior chaos — American lives lost to cartel smuggling, wages suppressed for working families, and communities changed against their will. MAGA supporters know better: secure borders equal a stronger America.
As we head deeper into 2026, this milestone should inspire every patriot. President Trump and Tom Homan aren’t slowing down. More deportations of criminal aliens are coming, and the border wall and technology upgrades continue. The message to the world is clear: Come legally or don’t come at all.
This is what winning looks like. America First isn’t just a slogan — it’s policy delivering results every single day.
