Border Patrol Didn’t Release a Single Illegal into the U.S. Last Month

Border Patrol agents didn’t release a single migrant into the US last month — a staggering drop after the Biden administration allowed 62,000 illegal crossers in the country in May 2024, The Post can exclusively reveal.

Agents caught 8,725 migrants crossing illegally at the southern border last month.

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.

“Border numbers continue to trend at historic lows, reinforcing the sustained success of our enforcement efforts in securing the homeland and protecting American communities,” he said.

Border Patrol agents are nearing their goal of gaining full “operational control” of the southern border with the massive drop in illegal crossings, National Border Patrol Council president Paul Perez told The Post last week.

“Under the Biden administration, our agents were pulled off the line. We were doing all the processing, detaining, transporting and essentially baby-sitting, the border was wide open,” Perez said.

“It was unsecured because we didn’t have enough agents on the line to actually protect and deter. So now we’ve got the complete opposite. All of our agents are actually patrolling the border for the first time in many, many years.“

Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, later touted the drastic decrease.

...but, but, but, I thought that you needed a new immigration bill (thwarted by then candidate Donald Trump) in order to secure the border. That’s the way I understood it anyway.

That’s about a half million illegals who would have entered under Biden’s auto pen.

I remember the Biden Women trying to TRICK the Republicans into spending more on the border...which was actually to bring in Illegals EVEN FASTER.

And President Trump made all the difference not a new immigration bill!

Rumor has it that Judge Boasberg is hitting the bottle HARD, and he is searching high & low, but mostly low, for a way to restart the leftist invasion at the Southern Border.

We need commendations for the Border Patrol guys/gals! Thats is some hella gear shifting from one extreme to the other in a very short time.

Bravo Zulu Border Patrol!

This can be used as evidence in Biden's Insurrection Trail.
