U.S. Reports FY2025 Southern Border Apprehensions at Lowest Level Since 1970

Officials credit stricter asylum limits and months without Border Patrol releases for the sharp decline.

Migrantes regresan a México por el puente Puerta México que cruza el Río Bravo, en Matamoros, México, el 31 de julio de 2019, desde la localidad fronteriza de Brownsville, Texas. Estados Unidos devolvió en torno a 800 migrantes, en su mayoría centroamericanos y cubanos, a México por Matamoros en las últimas dos semanas, desde que el programa conocido como “Permanecer en México” se extendió a esta ciudad al noreste de Tamaulipas.

Disminuyen detenciones en frontera de EU; cifra más baja en 55 años: DHS

Overview

  • DHS and the White House put FY2025 apprehensions at 237,565, about 87% below the recent four‑year average of 1.86 million, with final detailed data still pending.
  • Roughly 72% of this year’s arrests occurred from October 2024 to January 2025 under Joe Biden, with September averaging 279 apprehensions per day.
  • September marked the fifth consecutive month in which Border Patrol reported no releases after arrests in the southwest region.
  • The administration attributes the downturn to tightened asylum screening, suspended release practices and added enforcement personnel along the border.
  • Civil-rights litigation escalated as the ACLU sued over a Louisiana “Angola” facility, alleging inhumane conditions and unlawful punitive detention.
