The Trump administration smashed another border enforcement record as its crackdown on illegal Immigration continues to produce results.
Nationwide illegal crossings in June plummeted to the lowest level ever recorded in U.S. history, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP). In addition to the drop off in encounters, Immigration officials are experiencing unprecedented lows in apprehensions and parole releases, and a continued uptick in drug interdictions as officials crank up the pressure on the illicit drug trade.
“From shutting down illegal crossings to seizing fentanyl and enforcing billions in tariffs, CBP is delivering results on every front,” CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott said in a public statement.
“Under this administration, we are protecting this country with relentless focus, and the numbers prove it,” Scott continued.
There were just 25,228 total nationwide encounters in June, according to CBP. The agency says this marked the lowest monthly total in CBP history.
Border Patrol agents apprehended only 8,024 individuals nationwide, marking another historic monthly low, and arrested a mere 136 individuals on June 28, the lowest single-day total in the agency’s history, according to CBP.
