Here's a snapshot of the trendsHe has done everything that he said that he would do when he ran.
We hired him to do that.
Border
- Peak in late 2023: Monthly encounters peaked at over 370,000 in December 2023, with nearly 12,000 people encountered daily.
- Biden administration lows: September 2024 saw a Biden-era low of nearly 54,000 apprehensions along the Southwest border.
- Significant drop under Trump: Apprehensions significantly declined in early 2025 following the change in administration. February 2025 saw roughly 8,450 apprehensions, the lowest monthly tally reported by Border Patrol since at least fiscal year 2000. This was a 93% decrease from May 2024, which recorded 117,905 encounters.
- New historic low in June 2025: Border Patrol recorded just over 6,000 apprehensions in June 2025, a new record low according to preliminary data. This represents a 92.7% decrease from June 2024.
- April 2025 uptick: There was a slight increase in April 2025, with approximately 8,400 apprehensions, compared to 7,200 in March. However, this is still significantly lower than the nearly 129,000 apprehensions recorded in April 2024.
