Tom Homan claimed on Fox News that illegal crossings dropped 93% under Trump’s renewed administration, crediting strict enforcement and swift deportations. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem backed him, warning sanctuary cities to comply with federal immigration laws or face consequences.
The claim sparked debate. Supporters see it as proof of effective policies, while critics question the unverified data, citing seasonal migration patterns. Calls for independent analysis continue.
Noem’s stance has intensified the sanctuary city debate, with some defending local protections for immigrants and others arguing they shield criminals and weaken security.
As immigration remains a hot issue, Trump’s policies focus on stricter enforcement and border security. Critics warn that without addressing migration’s root causes, enforcement alone won’t be a lasting solution.
