A recent report from the U.S. Border Patrol indicates that no illegal immigrants were released into the United States last month. This marks a significant contrast to the 64,000 illegal immigrants granted entry during the Biden administration in May 2024. The decline in releases is attributed to the enforcement of stricter border policies implemented during the Trump administration.

Regarding illegal crossings, Border Patrol apprehended 8,725 migrants attempting to cross the southern border last month, reflecting a 93% decrease from the 117,905 apprehended in May 2024. Acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Pete Flores credited this substantial reduction to the stringent border policies enacted during Trump’s tenure. These statistics highlight a shift in immigration enforcement practices and their direct impact on border security.

The article suggests that these developments represent a significant achievement for the current administration in its efforts to secure U.S. borders. It illustrates the contrasting immigration policies between the current and previous administrations. As the situation at the border evolves, these statistics will be monitored for their implications on national security and immigration reform.
