Overview

  • At a San Diego border event, White House border official Tom Homan and CBP Commissioner Rodney S. Scott described the U.S.–Mexico boundary as the most secure in the nation’s history.
  • CBP data presented by the officials show the recent 21‑day average of southwest border encounters near 200 per day, down from roughly 18,000 per day under the prior administration.
  • In the San Diego sector, arrests dropped 93.2% year over year in October, from 14,165 in FY2025 to 960 in FY2026, according to CBP figures.
  • The Border Patrol will increase San Diego staffing by 800 agents, and CBP launched a “Home for the Holidays” voluntary return option via the CBP Home app that can pay up to $1,000 for travel.
  • Homan said more than 600,000 people have been deported this year and urged undocumented residents to self‑deport, while also claiming the administration has located 62,000 children smuggled into the U.S.
