Illegal border crossings have plunged even lower as the Trump administration continues to tighten the “most secure border” in U.S. history.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem revealed preliminary data for July which indicate historic lows set the month prior have been shattered yet again.
Nationwide encounters for Customs and Border Protection fell to just 24,630, down from 25,243 in June and roughly 90% lower than the monthly average under the Biden regime.
U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) saw its quietest month ever, logging just 6,177 apprehensions nationwide, and a mere 4,598 at the southwest border.
In contrast, USBP averaged 5,110 apprehensions per day between February 2021 and December 2024.
USBP notched 152 apprehensions at the southern border every two hours in July 2024, in contrast with 148 daily apprehensions last month.
Additionally, USBP had its quietest single day in recorded history, catching just 116 illegal crossers at all borders on July 20.
“The numbers don’t lie—this is the most secure the border has ever been. President Donald Trump didn’t just manage the crisis—he obliterated it,” Secretary Noem stated.
“No more excuses. No more releases. We’ve put the cartels on defense and taken our border back.”
The Trump administration’s relative annihilation of illegal migration has rippled across the hemisphere as traffic through Panama’s infamous Darien Gap has dropped from more than 80,000 crossings in a given month to just 10 in June.
