Just nine illegal migrants were released into the US during President Trump’s first 100 days in office — a 99.99% drop from the same time period last year under then-President Biden, border czar Tom Homan said Tuesday.

Between Trump’s inauguration day and his landmark day Tuesday only nine illegal aliens were released — all with unusual circumstances — compared to a staggering 184,000 allowed in under Biden, Homan said on “Fox and Friends.”

“President Trump is a game changer,” Homan said.

“What’s happening on the border, he did in seven weeks what Joe Biden couldn’t — or wouldn’t — do in four years.”

Four of the nine were material witnesses in criminal investigations they wanted to testify in court, four were in “extreme medical distress” and one was released on humanitarian grounds, Homan said.

The Trump administration has deported roughly 139,000 people since Trump’s return to the White House, officials said.
