Another promise kept.
According to an Axios report and numbers reviewed from CBP, illegal border crossings have hit historic lows under President Trump’s immigration crackdown.
From Axios:
There were 25,228 total encounters nationwide, which is the lowest monthly total in CBP history, according to the agency.
U.S. Border Patrol apprehensions nationwide also hit a new historic low with 8,024.
The Southwest border saw 6,072 apprehensions, a 15% drop from the previous record in March.
Zoom in: The agency hit its lowest recorded single-day total on June 28 with only 136 apprehensions, CBP said.
The CBP added that there were zero parole releases compared to 27,766 released in June 2024 amid an increase in migrants at the border then.
“From shutting down illegal crossings to seizing fentanyl and enforcing billions in tariffs, CBP is delivering results on every front,” CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott said in a statement. “Under this administration, we are protecting this country with relentless focus, and the numbers prove it.”
