(TNND) — It’s being called the Trump Effect, arrests of migrants who illegally cross borders into the United States fell to just over 6,000 in June.

According to the numbers from Border Czar Tom Homan, the number is a 41 percent decrease from June and the lowest numbers ever.

Homan posted this to X, “THE TRUMP EFFECT - Total Border Patrol encounters for the entire month of June 2025 was 6,070. That is less than a single day under Biden. As a matter of fact, the total number of encounters is less than half of a single day under Biden on many days. Also, none of the 6,070 were released into the U.S. ZERO.”

The number of arrests by Border Patrol agents is also down by more than 93 percent from the 87,606 detained in June 2024.

“President Trump has created the most secure border in the history of the nation and the data proves it. We have never seen numbers this low. Never. God bless the men and women of the US Border Patrol and God bless the men and women of ICE. The interior arrests and consequences help to drive down illegal immigration. The TRUMP EFFECT keeps America winning.”

In June, agents encountered an average of just over 202 migrants per day, compared to May 2022 under Biden when the number was 7,503 per day.

Response to the "Compassion for Immigrants" crowd:

Liberals spent the last 50 years aborting their replacement voters and tried to make up for it by opening our borders to over 20 Million illegals over the last 4 years.

Even if they never vote (unlikely), counting them in the census provides Dems with lopsided representation in the House and the Electoral College.

So spare me with the tearful "care for the poor" nonsense, because they don't really care at all.
