Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to The Megan Kelly Show and our new normal. So much news overnight to bring you. We begin with the single biggest issue of the Trump 2024 campaign, the promises on which he's making good by the day, securing the U.S. southern border and fixing our broken immigration system. In just the first week of Trump's presidency, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has arrested more than 3,500 illegal immigrants. ICE has conducted operations in multiple states across the country with a focus on national security and public safety threats. It is incredible to see our brave law enforcement officers taking action to make our country safe again.

Tom Homan 2:01
Hey, thanks for having me. I'm a big fan. I've been following you. You're a Stone Cold Patriot, so I'm happy to be here today.
Megyn Kelly 2:09
That means a lot coming from you, Tom. I'm a huge fan of yours as well. I'm almost reluctant to keep you off of what you're doing for 30 minutes, but we have to do it because you have to keep us updated on what's happening because it's just delightful to hear about all these bad guys finally getting swept up and kicked out. Let me start with this. Is that about right now, the running total? Are we about 3,500 or are we up to 5,000 now? Where are we?
Tom Homan 2:34
No, I think we're beyond 4,000 as of today, but I don't have the exact numbers with me. But look, you said it right. We're operating throughout the country, concentrating on exactly what you said, public safety threats and national security threats. And there's some collateral arrests, but that's what you got to expect in sanctuary cities. We can't arrest a bad guy in the jail. We got to go to the neighborhood and find him. If he's with others, others that may not be a criminal priority, but they're in the country legally, they're coming too. So we've arrested a lot of bad guys. A lot of public safety threats are taken off the streets. So Chicago, New York, Denver, they're all safer cities today because of what ICE and numerous agencies, right?
Tom Homan 3:12
We've got DEA, FBI, ATF, U.S. Marshals, HSI, ERO. So a lot of these cities are safer today, but we're not done. We're just getting started.
Megyn Kelly 3:21
How do you figure out, because I know you're prioritizing right now the ones who are also criminals on top of the illegal immigration criminal problem that they have, but they've committed a murder, they've committed a rape, they have child pornography, something like that. So how do you find these guys, Tom? I mean, like, was this on the table for Joe Biden's team all along and it was just a matter of like picking up the files and going to get them?
Tom Homan 3:46
Exactly right. Look, ICE is really good at this. These people don't want to be found, but there's ways to find them. I can't speak to the specifics because the law enforcement is sensitive, but they could have found these people last year, but the administration simply tied ICE's hands. And first time in the history of my career, starting back in 1984, ICE had handcuffs on them.
