Illegal crossings along the US-Mexico border plummeted to a 55-year low in fiscal year 2025 – with the vast majority of unlawful attempts to enter the country taking place during the final months of the Biden administration.
Federal authorities apprehended a total of 237,565 migrants along the southwest border during the period between Oct. 1, 2024 and Sept. 30, 2025, according to data released Tuesday by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and US Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
The figure is the lowest fiscal year total for apprehensions since 1970, when authorities caught 201,780 migrants attempting to cross the US-Mexico border.
It is also 87% less than the average number of apprehensions over the last four fiscal years, which was about 1.86 million, according to DHS.
“We have had the most secure border in American history and our end of year numbers prove it,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement. “We have shattered multiple records this year and once again we have broken a new record with the lowest number of Southwest border apprehensions in 55 years.”
“Under President Trump, we have empowered and supported our law enforcement to do their job and they have delivered.”
Most of the apprehensions in fiscal year 2025 occurred during the final three months of the Biden administration, under which an average of about 2.4 million migrants poured into the country every year between 2021 and 2024 — most crossing into the US illegally.
During the first 111 days of the fiscal year, when former President Joe Biden was still in office, border agents apprehended 172,026 individuals — 72% of the 2025 total.
Over the next 254 days, the Trump administration recorded 65,539 apprehensions, or 27% of the year’s total.

And yeah, this is definitely what I voted for.
Okay, is it me or the title-lowest since 1970-lowest in American history :)
Both. It’s a tautology of sorts, I think. The number in 1970 may have been the lowest in American history until it was surpassed by an even lower number just this past year.
The phrase “how low can you go” used to have a negative connotation.
No Mas!
(Not any more)
“...Over the next 254 days, the Trump administration recorded 65,539 apprehensions...”
That is still 258 a day. I want that number to become negative. /spit
Don't know if it all was the result of Trump's focus on the border or if it was because the guard wasn't being paid (it was just last weekend).
It was always possible to secure the border. Both parties just didn’t want to. President Trump wants to secure the border and with the $100K visa fee and tariffs, is showing he wants to protect American workers.
This is LONG overdue.
Now kick out tens of millions of illegal alien invaders.
Said no Trump Supporter ever... We all voted for this!! Not tired of winning...
“Illegal crossings along the US-Mexico border plummeted to a 55-year low in fiscal year 2025”
Music to my ears! I’ve been waiting over 40 years for immigration laws to be vigorously enforced!
Big Beautiful Secure Border
“Under President Trump, we have empowered and supported our law enforcement to do their job and they have delivered.”
More, Please! Now, clean out/clean up all of Law Enforcement where they allow Sanctuary Cities! Thanks! MAGA!
P.S. You all KNOW that the minute a Socialist Democrat is in office again, the border will be ‘Open For Business’ within minutes. So, let’s not let that happen again for a good, long while!
It still isn’t secure though.
The wall is not yet finished.
