For the tenth straight month there hasn’t been a single illegal alien released by Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) at the US border with Mexico.
The news was hailed in a press release.
“February marks the tenth straight month that U.S. Border Patrol has not released a single illegal alien into the interior of the United States—a clear reflection of the enforcement-first posture restoring integrity to our nation’s borders,” said CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott.
“While threats to our national and economic security continue to evolve, so does our resolve to meet them, as we carry out our mission of protecting the homeland while facilitating lawful travel and trade.”
Border crossings and apprehensions are now at levels unseen for three decades.
Daily apprehensions are down 95% from the Biden presidency, and there have now been 12 straight months of fewer than 9,000 border apprehensions.
Border enforcement is currently at “historic levels,” according to the Department of Homeland Security.
In February, CBP encounters nationwide were down 22% on January, and 88% below the monthly average of the Biden administration.
The number of Border Patrol apprehensions per day in February—236—were 100 fewer than a single hour at the height of the Biden border crisis, in December 2023.
CBP has also reported record drug seizures nationwide of 79, 609 pounds, an 84% increase on January.
