Trump’s Leadership Delivers Historic Border Security Results

Rapid Response

For the fourth month in a row under President Trump’s historic leadership, zero illegal aliens have been released at the border and over 2 million illegal aliens have left the United States.

Nationwide, illegal crossings are down 93% from their peak under the Biden Administration and Democrats’ disastrous open border policies. 
 


 

Illegal crossings in August were at historic lows

  • 26,197 total encounters nationwide — 93% below Biden’s peak.
  • 6,319 apprehensions at the southwest border — 96% lower than Biden’s monthly average.
  • 204 apprehensions per day — 96% lower than Biden’s daily average.
  • Zero parole releases — compared to 10,186 under Biden in August 2024.

Thanks to President Trump’s One, Big, Beautiful Bill being signed into law, ICE and Border Patrol were given record funding to supercharge immigration enforcement and secure our borders.

While Democrats fight for criminal illegal aliens while demonizing ICE agents, President Trump and Republicans are working tirelessly to Make America Safe Again
