U.S. Border Patrol experienced fewer encounters with illegal aliens last month than agents did on a daily basis under the Biden administration, Border Czar Tom Homan pointed out.
Federal authorities had a total of 6,070 encounters with illegal aliens attempting to enter the United States in the entire month of June, marking a radical drop-off from the Biden era.
“That is less than a single day under Biden. As a matter of fact, the total number of encounters is less than half of a single day under Biden on many days,” Homan asserted in a post on X.
The figure marks a drastic decline from June 2024 under the Biden administration, when Border Patrol had more than 87,000 encounters with illegal aliens on the northern and southern borders combined. The figures were even higher in 2023 and 2022 under the Biden administration, when Border Patrol had 100,000 and 193,000 encounters, respectively.
June’s figures indicate a 93.1 percent drop in border encounters since 2024 and a 94 percent and 97 percent increase when compared to 2023 and 2022.
Homan also explained that, of those encountered on the border, not a single one was let into the United States. “None of the 6,070 were released into the U.S. ZERO. President Trump has created the most secure border in the history of the nation and the data proves it,” Homan added. “We have never seen numbers this low.”
“The interior arrests and consequences help to drive down illegal immigration,” he went on to say in his post on social media.
The Border Patrol similarly indicated that it did not allow a single individual into the United States in the month of May. Agents encountered 8,725 illegal aliens during the month, a sharp 93 percent drop off from May 2024 under the Biden administration, when agents encountered a whopping 117,000 illegal aliens between ports of entry and released roughly 62,000 into the interior of the country.
“This administration has seen the fastest improvement in American border security of all time,” Customs and Border Protection said after announcing May’s border numbers.
