President Donald Trump’s border crackdown delivered historic results in 2025, driving illegal crossings to levels unseen in decades. December ended with only 6,400 southwest apprehensions — and the full‑year total of 109,000 marks a dramatic reversal from the chaos inherited from former-President Joe Biden’s border crisis.
Unofficial Border Patrol reports reviewed by Breitbart Texas revealed that agents encountered approximately 6,400 migrants who illegally crossed the southwest border from Mexico into the United States in December. After taking office on January 20, 2025, the Trump administration’s border team closed out the year with a historically low apprehension rate of less than 109,000 illegal aliens.

Officials offered:
- Border crossings are down 93% year-over-year.
- Illegal alien apprehensions at the southwest border are down to an average of 245 per day.
- From May to November, seven consecutive months, the United States Border Patrol (USBP) released ZERO illegal aliens into the country.
- Under the Trump administration, there have been 73,329 total apprehensions along the southwest border, which is 53% less than the monthly average of 155,485 during the Biden administration.
- USBP nationwide apprehensions have averaged under 10,000 per month since President Trump took office – a level of sustained deterrence unmatched in modern border history.

During the peak of the Biden border crisis, agents frequently encountered up to 10,000 migrants per day — often in single groups of 400-600 migrants. This year, that number fell to approximately 300 per day.
