According to multiple reports, just 6,070 encounters with illegal aliens were logged at the U.S. border in the month of June — lower than encounters logged in most single days under Joe Biden.
June’s figures indicate a 93.1 percent drop in border encounters since 2024 and a 94 percent and 97 percent increase when compared to 2023 and 2022.
Border Czar Tom Homan shared the news on X.
“President Trump has created the most secure border in the history of the nation and the data proves it,” Homan said. “We have never seen numbers this low. Never. God bless the men and women of the US Border Patrol and God bless the men and women of ICE. The interior arrests and consequences help to drive down illegal immigration. The TRUMP EFFECT keeps America winning.”
Homan also confirmed that of the 6,070 encounters, “ZERO” were released into the country.
