TRUMP EFFECT Leads to New Record Low in Migrant Arrests at Border (U.S. Border Patrol)

Overview

  • Border Patrol recorded 6,070 migrant encounters in June 2025, the lowest monthly total in modern records.
  • None of the migrants encountered in June were released into the United States, marking a second straight month with zero releases.
  • June’s figures represent a 41 percent decline from May and a 93 percent drop from June 2024, averaging just over 202 arrests per day.
  • Border officials attribute the decline to President Trump’s intensified policies, which they call the ‘Trump Effect.’
  • Key measures include ending catch-and-release, reinstating Remain in Mexico, cancelling the CBP One asylum app, deploying troops and expanding deportations.
