Border Patrol applications highest in U.S. history under Trump

  • From January to April 2025, the U.S. Border Patrol received 34,650 applications, marking the highest recorded number since its 1924 founding.
  • This surge follows President Donald Trump's January 2025 inauguration, accompanied by enhanced recruitment efforts targeting veterans and law enforcement professionals.
  • Under the previous Biden administration, attrition increased due to retirements, resignations, and 17 agent suicides in 2022 amid a border crisis and catch-and-release policies.
  • CBP and Chief Mike Banks credited the 44% application increase to renewed national commitment and public confidence in enforcement priorities under Trump’s leadership.
  • The recruitment spike implies improved morale and workforce strength for border security, reversing previous attrition trends and reaffirming mission readiness.
