The Trump administration has reported record low border apprehensions for June 2025, with Border Patrol encounters totaling 6,070—a figure lower than a single day’s tally under the previous administration. White House border czar Tom Homan stated on social media that the ‘Trump effect’ is responsible for these unprecedented numbers, highlighting a 15% decline from March and a sharp decrease compared to the high levels seen during the Biden era, with no individuals released into the U.S. during the period.
Homan noted that the numbers are less than half of any given day under Biden, emphasizing the administration’s success in securing the border. The Department of Homeland Security praised the results, calling them the lowest in CBP history, with nationwide encounters at 25,243, a 12% drop from the previous record low. Immigration officials and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem have also endorsed the findings, attributing the success to Trump’s leadership and the resumption of border security measures, including wall construction and the deployment of troops.
Lawmakers in Washington are also finalizing a major reconciliation bill that includes funding for border security and immigration enforcement, reflecting ongoing efforts to address the issue. While the political debate on long-term solutions continues, the stark contrast between the current administration’s achievements and the previous administration’s performance remains a focal point of public discourse.
