Border Patrol agents did not release a single migrant into the country last month, the New York Post reports. “Agents caught 8,725 migrants crossing illegally at the southern border last month,” the outlet wrote. It’s a staggering decline from the numbers during the Biden administration. “Promises made, promises kept,” the White House stated. ZERO migrants released by Border Patrol, 93% drop in illegal crossings as Trump policies take holdhttps://t.co/1UMeCsehz6 — The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) June 17, 2025 From the New York Post: That’s a 93% decrease from May 2024, when 117,905 were nabbed, according to internal data obtained by The Post. And acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Pete Flores said it’s a result of the Trump administration’s tough border policies. One of the most monumental policy changes made by Trump was the reversal of President Joe Biden’s catch-and-release scheme, which resulted in millions of illegal border jumpers being allowed into the US. “Under the leadership of this administration, CBP has received historic support resulting in another 93% decrease in illegal crossings along the southwest border this month when compared with last year,” Flores said in a statement shared with The Post. | IMMIGRATIONThank You @ICEgov Zero migrants released into the U.S. in May , 2025 pic.twitter.com/yk4rctaa1X — MaggieWise (@maggiewise111) June 18, 2025 “President Trump’s leadership has resulted in the most secure border in this nation’s history. In the last 24 hours the Border Patrol encountered a total of 95 illegal aliens across the entire southern border. That is the lowest number EVER recorded. Compare that to the Biden Administration who surpassed more than 10,000 per day. On top of that, they released the vast majority into the US. How many were released under Trump for May? Zero,” border czar Tom Homan said. “Compare that to the 62,000 aliens Biden released in May of last year. To continue this great work and make it more permanent, we need the Big Beautiful Bill passed so we can finish the job, to include the biggest deportation operation the American people voted for. God bless the men and women of CBP and ICE. President Trump is the Game Changer!” he added. President Trump’s leadership has resulted in the most secure border in this nation’s history.

Homan (@RealTomHoman) June 17, 2025 Fox News reports: Homan’s numbers highlight a common trend since Trump returned to the Oval Office in January. In April, Homan touted how the administration had released a shockingly low number of illegal immigrants. Homan noted at the time that nine illegal aliens had been released, compared to hundreds, if not thousands, of releases in a single day under Biden. As for the nine who were released, Homan explained the unusual circumstances. “Four of them were material witnesses in a criminal investigation. We needed them here to testify in a serious criminal trial. Four was extreme medical condition,” he said. “We couldn’t return them because we were in such bad shape. And one was a humanitarian issue.” Fox News reported that, on Dec. 22, 2023, U.S. Customs and Border Protection data indicated there were 4,832 illegal immigrants released on that day alone. On that same day, there were just under 9,000 migrant encounters. At the ports of entry, there were 1,400 releases that day as a result of the CBP One app, which has since been changed to the CBP Home app.
