President Donald Trump’s border czar Tom Homan is headed to the New York State Capitol on Wednesday to speak out against Democrats and their pro-illegal immigration policies.
Homan is expected to join state GOP lawmakers seeking to repeal the state’s Green Light law, which allows illegal immigrants to apply for drivers’ licenses without providing a Social Security number.
The Trump border czar is also likely to address implementing the Laken Riley Act, which would require law enforcement to notify ICE upon arresting a non-citizen.
Homan is not expected to meet with New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul. The governor was sued last month by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi for refusing to turn over data.
As RSBN previously reported, Homan shared that illegal border crossings have dropped to the lowest number he can remember in four decades. Homan posted the update in a post to X, noting the stark difference between former President Joe Biden’s border policies and Trump’s.
“In the last 24 hours the US Border Patrol has encountered a total of 229 aliens across the entire southwest border. That is down from a high of over 11,000 a day under Biden,” Homan wrote.
“I started as a Border Patrol Agent in 1984 and I don’t remember the numbers ever being that low. President Trump promised a secure border and he is delivering,” he added.
The update comes just days after Homan announced that illegal border crossing had fallen by 90 percent compared with the same period last year, according to data from Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
Only 359 illegal migrants per day were caught at the southern border in the first two weeks of February, the lowest number recorded since 1968.
“If you kind of break down the numbers, divide them by 365, we haven’t had numbers this low since the 1960s. So we’re talking 60-year lows if it’s sustained, obviously,” said Mark Krikorian, the executive director at the Center for Immigration Studies.
During the same period last year, officers processed over 4,800 migrants per day.
