Zero Illegal Immigrants Released Into US in May, Compared to 62,000 in May 2024
“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.”

In May of 2024, when the Biden administration was still in power, 62,000 illegal immigrants were released into the United States. This May, now that Trump is back in power? Zero.

It’s just as Trump said at his joint address to Congress back in March, “It turned out that all we really needed was a new President.”

The New York Post reports:
Border agents didn’t release a single illegal migrant into the US last month — down from 62K under Biden
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.
Thanks to the tireless efforts and diligent work of the men and women of CBP and the leadership of @POTUS and @Sec_Noem, USBP released 0 (not a single one) illegal aliens into our country in May, down from more than 62,000 in May of last year.

At the time of this writing, I have not been able to find a mainstream news source other than the New York Post that is reporting this story.
Isn’t that curious?

Well done!
How about declaring martial law for a month and releasing ALL illegal aliens, democrats, commies and perverts into Mexico? Then we can start over, clean and fresh. We could steal the Jewish mantra- Never again.
Awesome. This will make it much more expensive for Nancy Pelosi to replace her recently-deported cabana boy.
Nancy doesn’t hire cabana boys. She hires 仆人 (manservants).
And NEVER FORGET.
McConnell and his RINO crew tried to sell us out claiming letting 5000 illegals in every single day, forever, was the only way to ‘fix’ the border.
Indeed. Next year, Oklahoma GOP voters need to remember Lankford’s betrayal.
GREAT JOB MAGA!!!

job shortage???

“All we needed was a new president.”

they need to scoop up the sh they spill
Another great move by Trump
