Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) told DailyMail.com that the numbers were concerning.

Trump has made the issue of illegal immigration and border enforcement a central part of his campaign.
Green said that under the Trump administration, immigration enforcement had increased even as border crossings were reduced, making the country safer from criminal illegal aliens.

“Biden and Harris have completely turned that record upside down. Under their watch, encounters have reached historic, sustained highs while evictions have fallen through the floor,” Green said.
The report shows that there were more encounters at the border in 2023 alone than the number of encounters during the entire Trump administration.
“Biden and Harris have completely abandoned their oath to enforce the laws of this country — assuming they ever took that oath seriously,” Green concluded. “Meanwhile, innocent Americans continue to be victims of this administration’s dereliction of duty every day. Enough is enough.’
New data from US Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE), obtained Friday by DailyMail.com, shows that more than 600,000 migrants with criminal histories are at large in the country, prompting Trump to condemn Biden and Harris for their inability to enforce immigration law.
“It was all done by Comrade Kamala Harris,” Trump said at a campaign event on Friday. “Our great border czar, who is incompetent, who is totally incompetent.”
