In a stunning victory and a border shutdown, the U.S. Border Patrol has not released a single illegal immigrant into the country last month, illustrating a dramatic turnaround from the chaos under the Biden administration.

This marks a staggering drop from May 2024, when 62,000 migrants found their way past border defenses.
Under the current administration, the Border Patrol caught 8,725 migrants attempting to cross illegally last month, a 93% reduction from May 2024’s figures of 117,905.
The sharp decline in illegal crossings is largely attributed to the Trump administration’s strict border policy revamp, dismantling the relaxed structures left by its predecessor.
Acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Pete Flores emphasized the historic accomplishment, saying, “Under the leadership of this administration, CBP has received historic support resulting in another 93% decrease in illegal crossings along the southwest border this month when compared with last year.”
Flores’s statement reveals the profound impact of robust and decisive leadership.
Fox News featured U.S. Border Patrol chief Michael Banks who praised these results, declaring them “phenomenal” and emphasizing a record-breaking improvement.
Banks credited President Trump with empowering Border Patrol agents with tools to secure the homeland more effectively.
Despite past failures under the Biden administration’s catch-and-release program, where millions found entry, Trump’s administration brings optimism with winds of change.
Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, proudly shared, “In the last 24 hours, the Border Patrol encountered a total of 95 illegal aliens across the entire southern border.
That is the lowest number EVER recorded. Compare that to the Biden Administration who surpassed more than 10,000 per day.”
While the Border Patrol isn’t declaring definitive victory, they are optimistic about continued progress.
Leaders like Homan and Flores highlight the need for solid legislative support to cement these achievements and uphold the security of American borders.
The ever-eager Trump administration is pushing towards full “operational control” of the border, a sight many would say is a long-overdue necessity.
With national security as a cornerstone of patriotism, steps like these inspire hope for a more protected homeland, ensuring that American dreams are safeguarded from unsanctioned entry threats.
As border security advances, American communities once engulfed by border chaos can now breathe a sigh of relief.
