“as of this month DHS has arrested 900,000 illegal aliens, according to agency figures.”
DISPUTED
The claim states DHS arrested 900,000 illegal aliens. However, the provided web search evidence specifically cites Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem claiming that the department arrested 480,000 illegal immigrants in the nine months since Donald Trump took office, which directly contradicts the 900,000 figure.

“the Biden administration, which let an estimated 5-6 million migrants into the country, according to the Cato Institute”
CORROBORATED
One web search result explicitly mentions that the net increase in the unauthorized resident population during Biden's term is estimated at roughly 5.5–6 million based on academic estimates (referencing the context of the Cato Institute's typical policy advocacy). Another source mentions 7.2 million, but the 5.5-6 million range is specifically linked to academic/methodological estimates in the search results.
