Zero Migrants Released in May as Southwest Border Crossings Fall 93%

U.S. SOUTHWEST BORDER, JUN 18 – Customs and Border Protection reported a 93% drop in migrant encounters from May 2024, with zero releases in May 2025 due to stricter enforcement and policy changes under the current administration.

  • In May 2025, U.S. Customs and Border Protection recorded 8,725 illegal crossings, marking a 93% drop from May 2024 with zero migrants released into the country.
  • This decline followed enforcement measures including suspending asylum access, reinstating remain in Mexico, and expanding expedited removals beyond previous limits.
  • Border Patrol encountered only 95 illegal aliens in the last 24 hours, the lowest daily number ever recorded, illustrating a dramatic reduction in crossings.
  • Tom Homan highlighted that the figure reached an all-time low and called on Congress to approve the Big Beautiful Bill to maintain ongoing deportation initiatives.
  • These trends suggest strong political will and enforcement coordination have contributed to border control, though legal challenges and changing migration patterns may affect future outcomes.
