Border Agents Report Stunning New Numbers on Illegal Crossings in Just Second Week of Presidency; Dr. Phil Teams Up with Tom Homan, ICE for High-Stakes Takedown of Criminal Illegal Aliens

By Fox News. Less than 600 people crossed illegally into the U.S. from Mexico on Sunday – a stunningly low number since President Donald Trump took office.

Sources tell Fox News that not a single one of the nine sectors received more than 200 crossings on Jan. 26, and the number of daily encounters only reached 582 in total. The Del Rio sector – which is the same sector that would sustain over 4,000 crossings per day during the height of the border crisis in December 2023 – only recorded 60 crossings.

For comparison, the daily number of border encounters during the final days of the Biden White House teetered between 1,200 to 1,400 per day.

The numbers have fallen even further since Jan. 20, and a Fox News Digital exclusive last week found that the numbers dropped sharply. (Read more from “Border Agents Report Stunning New Numbers on Illegal Crossings in Just Second Week of Presidency” HERE)

Dr. Phil Teams Up with Tom Homan, ICE for High-Stakes Takedown of Criminal Illegal Aliens

By Townhall. Dr. Phil McGraw’s cameras were rolling this week as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) launched a controversial operation targeting illegal immigrants in one of the United State’s biggest sanctuary cities. The former doctor TV host joined President Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, to carry out deportation efforts in Chicago, where he filmed several arrests, including interrogating a convicted child-sex offender who tried to defend himself being in the U.S. illegally.

“These are known criminals and terrorists. We’re talking about murderers, child traffickers, child rapists. We’re talking about bad actors, both in the countries they’ve come from and since they’ve been here in the United States,” McGraw said as ICE agents carried out Trump’s border orders.

In one scene, McGraw asked the convicted sex offender and internet predator from Thailand, who had been illegally residing in Chicago, if he had been charged with sex crimes with children. In response, the illegal immigrant brushed off the question, saying, “Not really.”

“Not really!?” McGraw shockingly replied.

The illegal alien insisted he had never been deported and that his mother was a U.S. citizen. He recognized McGraw from his television show and frequently dodged the famous psychologist’s questions.
