Tom Homan Urges Congress to Pass Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill with $175 Billion Boost for Immigration Enforcement, More Agents and Beds

Tom Homan, the U.S. Border Czar under President Donald Trump, has urged Congress to pass the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' a comprehensive immigration enforcement funding package. Homan emphasized the bill's nonpartisan nature, calling for increased resources including more agents, beds, and transportation to strengthen national security and public safety. He highlighted the urgency by noting that approximately 600,000 illegal immigrants with criminal histories are currently in the country.

The legislation proposes a $175 billion spending increase over the next 10 years to enhance immigration enforcement efforts, particularly for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Homan argued that more agents would result in more arrests of individuals posing threats, framing the bill as essential for removing national security and public safety risks. The bill has drawn attention amid calls for stronger border control measures, though some critics have expressed opposition to the Trump administration's approach to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
