Promises made. Promises kept.
President Trump’s first full month in office saw a record decline in border crossings, with some claiming they may be the lowest February numbers on record.
The Trump administration’s apprehension numbers were down 96% in February compared to the Biden administration’s peak in December 2023, when CBP recorded 301,981 encounters at the southern border.
Trump’s post from TRUTH Social below:
The month of February, my first full month in Office, had the LOWEST number of Illegal Immigrants trying to enter our Country in History – BY FAR! There were only 8,326 apprehensions of Illegals by Border Patrol at the U.S. – Mexico Border, all of whom were quickly ejected from our Nation or, when necessary, prosecuted for crimes against the United States of America. This means that very few people came – The Invasion of our Country is OVER. In comparison, under Joe Biden, there were 300,000 Illegals crossing in one month, and virtually ALL of them were released into our Country. Thanks to the Trump Administration Policies, the Border is CLOSED to all Illegal Immigrants. Anyone who tries to illegally enter the U.S.A. will face significant criminal penalties and immediate deportation.
““ILLEGAL BORDER CROSSINGS LAST MONTH WERE THE LOWEST EVER RECORDED. THANK YOU!!!” Trump added in a later post.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem says, “We’re just getting started.”
“February was the lowest month in recorded history for encounters at our border. The world is hearing our message: do not come to our country illegally. If you do, we will find you, arrest you, and send you back. Thank you President @realDonaldTrump for your strong leadership and to our brave@CBP officers and agents for keeping America safe,” Noem posted on X along with the president’s message.
