Illegal crossings at the nation’s borders have fallen to their lowest point in decades, according to new U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) numbers.
Why it matters: The data suggest that President Trump’s hardline immigration approach — especially along the U.S.-Mexico border — may be achieving its goal, even as the administration has not stopped all noncitizens without papers from entry.
Driving the news: Illegal crossings in June at the nation’s borders dropped to the lowest level ever recorded, the CBP said Tuesday.
- 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.
