Border Patrol encountered just 6,070 illegal immigrants at the southern border in June — another record-setting low (15% lower than the previous record set in March) that underscores the effectiveness of President Donald J. Trump’s robust border enforcement policies and aggressive deportation measures.
It’s a stark contrast to the Biden Administration, when approximately 10,000 unvetted migrants were illegally crossing the southern border every day at the peak of the invasion — most of whom were released into the country with little or no oversight.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Nationwide illegal immigrant encounters over the month were the lowest on record.
- For the second straight month, no illegal immigrants were released into the country’s interior.
- On June 28, Border Patrol hit a single-day record low number of illegal immigrant encounters at the southern border (just 137).
- The number of “gotaways” — illegal immigrants who escaped into the country undetected — was 90% lower compared to the same month last year.
- This fiscal year is on track to see the fewest illegal immigrant encounters in five decades.
Now, Congress has a chance to fortify this progress by sending the One Big Beautiful Bill to President Trump’s desk — which includes funding to finish the border wall, hire thousands of new border personnel, expand detention capabilities, and fund at least one million deportations per year.
