Illegal border crossings hit record low second month in row

For the second full month in a row since President Donald Trump’s been in office, illegal border crossings reached record lows in March, reversing Biden administration illegal crossings, which were the highest in recorded U.S. history.

In March, 29,065 illegal border crossers were encountered and apprehended nationwide, a fraction of what they were under the Biden administration. In March 2024, they totaled 246,505 nationwide; in March 2023, 259,471; in March 2022, 250,404, excluding those who evaded capture, according to CBP data.

The biggest decrease was at the southwest border, where Border Patrol agents reported the lowest daily average apprehensions in recorded history of 264 a day in March. That’s 20% lower than the 330 daily nationwide average apprehensions in February and 94% lower than 4,488 per day average from March 2024, CBP said.
