President Donald Trump’s total triumph in securing the U.S. border highlights this administration’s laser focus on carrying out his America First agenda with efficiency and speed.
“President Trump secured this border,” Border Czar Tom Homan said in a recent interview with Fox News. “…He took the most unsecured border we’ve ever seen, with all these historic numbers, and secured it in seven weeks.”
According to the latest report from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the U.S. border is the most secure in history. In June 2025, illegal crossings dropped to the “lowest level ever recorded,” with zero illegal alien releases along the southwest border for the second consecutive month.
There were barely over 25,200 encounters nationwide, representing the “lowest monthly total in CBP history,” and a historic low for Border Patrol apprehensions at just 8,024.
To contrast with the Trump administration’s historic zero release rate, in June 2024, Biden’s administration allowed 27,766 illegals to be released into the interior of the U.S.
The difference is shocking – and it proves, beyond a doubt, that Biden had the power to seal the U.S. southern border, but simply chose not to, which makes his betrayal of American sovereignty all the more repugnant.
Thanks to President Trump, the border is more secure than it has ever been, and his administration continues to make strides to ensure dangerous criminals are taken off American streets and sent home where they belong.
Trump’s keystone legislation fuels his border triumph long-term
In the wake of the signing of the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” U.S. Border Patrol and the CBP will receive much-needed funding and tools to continue to carry out the president’s critical deportation operation.
The legislation allocates billions of dollars to complete the construction of the border wall, as well as funding for border surveillance technology, removal transportation, and the expansion of the CBP vehicle fleet.
Impressively, the bill also funds the hiring of thousands more CBP officers and Border Patrol agents, with an annual goal of one million deportations per year. According to the Department of Homeland Security, the bill further provides an expansion of national detention capacity for illegal aliens – up to 100,000 at a time, and 80,000 beds for ICE.
This legislation is a massive accomplishment not just for President Trump and his administration, but for Americans who voted for a safer and more secure country.
The wins on the U.S. border cannot be overstated
The efficiency of federal law enforcement, under the direction of President Trump, to secure the border and detain and deport dangerous criminals and terrorists, deserves to be archived for posterity.
Amid raucous social media narratives and legacy-media-fueled smear campaigns, Americans know the truth: President Trump’s administration is accomplishing positive and uplifting things every single day.
The wins on the U.S. border are perhaps the crown jewel of Trump’s administration so far, and they represent a stunningly fast fulfillment of his campaign promise to stop the illegal invasion and empower law enforcement to do their jobs.
