President Donald Trump’s border crackdown has led to historic lows in illegal crossings, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The agency reported that apprehensions dropped significantly compared to the Biden administration. Retired U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Chief Chris Clem noted the contrast to previous years, when agents struggled to manage large numbers of migrants. Clem credited stronger enforcement and the threat of deportation for the decline but warned that political shifts could undermine progress. Preliminary data shows a 94% drop in apprehensions compared to the Biden era. DHS also highlighted 15 straight months without border releases, marking a full fiscal year without such actions.
