The U.S. Border Patrol released a grand total of zero illegal migrants into the country during the month of May, demonstrating the rapid decline in illegal migration since President Donald Trump returned to office.
In what the administration is describing as the “fastest improvement in American border security of all time,” not a single illegal migrant was released into the U.S. in May, according to newly-released data from Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The figure marks a major improvement from the 62,000 illegal migrants released into the country in May 2024, as then-president Joe Biden was continuing to deal with an unprecedented border crisis.
