Trump Border Security has delivered the most secure border in American history, as June’s unprecedented numbers prove! Customs and Border Protection (CBP) recorded a mere 25,243 nationwide encounters in June 2025—the lowest number since the agency was formed in 2002 (4). In fact, Border Patrol apprehended just 6,070 illegal immigrants at our southern border last month, shattering previous records with a 15% drop from March’s historic low27. We’ve witnessed something truly extraordinary—on June 28, Border Patrol recorded only 137 apprehensions across the entire Southwest Border, the lowest single-day total in a quarter century.
Compared to the Biden administration’s border disaster, these results are staggering. The total Border Patrol encounters for the entire month of June 2025 were less than what we saw during a single day under Biden28. Furthermore, for the second straight month, zero illegal immigrants were released into our country’s interior27. The number of “gotaways”—illegal immigrants who escaped undetected—has plummeted by 90% compared to the same month last year. These numbers don’t just represent statistics; they demonstrate how Trump’s border policies have completely transformed our national security landscape and reclaimed American sovereignty.
Unprecedented Stats: The Numbers Scream Victory
The statistics coming out of the Trump administration’s border operation aren’t just impressive—they’re HISTORIC! The numbers from June 2025 reveal a border security apparatus firing on all cylinders, delivering unprecedented results that patriots nationwide are celebrating.
Record-Breaking Lows
June 2025 marked a MONUMENTAL achievement with Customs and Border Protection recording just 25,243 nationwide encounters—a staggering 12% lower than the previous record set in February 2025 (4). This jaw-dropping figure represents an 89% reduction compared to the monthly average during 2021-2024 (4). Never before has America witnessed such a dramatic decline in illegal border crossings!
These numbers don’t merely represent statistical improvements—they signal the complete DISMANTLING of the illegal immigration crisis that plagued our nation for years. CBP’s daily encounter average in May 2025 stood at approximately 952 per day, a 2% decrease from April 2025, marking the second-lowest average daily number of CBP encounters in history. Additionally, along the southwest border in May 2025, the total number of encounters reported by CBP decreased by an astonishing 93% from May 2024 (29).
Southwest Border Triumph
The Southwest Border—once the epicenter of America’s immigration crisis—has been TRANSFORMED into a model of security under Trump Border Security. USBP apprehensions plummeted to just 6,070 in June, representing a 15% decline from the March 2025 figures. This continues a powerful downward trend that began immediately following President Trump’s inauguration.
On June 28, Border Patrol recorded a mere 137 apprehensions across the entire Southwest Border—the lowest single-day total in a quarter of a century! To grasp the magnitude of this achievement, consider that during the previous administration, daily apprehension figures regularly exceeded what we now see in an entire week.
The May 2025 statistics tell a similar story of DOMINANCE, with Border Patrol encountering only 8,725 illegal aliens crossing the southwest border between ports of entry—a 93% decrease from May 2024 when USBP encountered 117,905 aliens29. Moreover, total southwest border apprehensions dropped from 117,905 in May 2024 to a mere 8,725 in May 2025 (2). These aren’t just numbers—they represent a COMPLETE REVERSAL of the border chaos Americans endured for years.
Nationwide Dominance
Nationwide, U.S. Border Patrol apprehensions have reached historic lows, with June recording just 8,039 total apprehensions, smashing the previous record set in March 2025 (4). The scale of this achievement becomes evident when compared to June 2024, when Border Patrol made 11,414 apprehensions in just the first three days of the month.
The statistical collapse of illegal immigration extends beyond just the Southwest. Total Border Patrol encounters for June 2025 represent a 93.1% decrease from June 2024, when 87,606 migrants were apprehended attempting to enter illegally. Furthermore, this means a 94% decline from June 2023 (100,606 encounters) and an overwhelming 97% reduction from June 2022 (193,027 encounters).1
Before Trump’s border policies took effect, the average daily total of migrant encounters in June 2022 was approximately 6,434 per day—nearly equivalent to what we now see in a single month. As Tom Homan rightfully declared, “President Trump has created the most secure border in the history of the nation, and the data proves it. We have never seen numbers this low. Never.” 1
Gotaways and Releases
Perhaps most significantly, the notorious “gotaways”—illegal immigrants who evaded capture—have been CRUSHED under Trump Border Security. June saw a 90% decrease in gotaways compared to June 2024 (4). This represents a dramatic shift from May 2025’s already low figure of 986, down from 2,123 in May.
The administration’s commitment to ending the disastrous catch-and-release policies that allowed countless illegal immigrants to disappear into American communities has yielded spectacular results. For the second consecutive month, the USBP reported zero releases—a complete termination of the practice that had long undermined border security.
In May 2025, the U.S. Border Patrol released ZERO illegal aliens into our country—a staggering achievement compared to more than 62,000 that USBP was forced to release along the southwest border in May 2024 (29). This represents not just a statistical victory but a fundamental shift in border policy philosophy: illegal entry now means immediate consequence, not a ticket into the American interior.
The border statistics represent more than just numbers on a page—they tell the story of a nation reclaiming its sovereignty. Tom Homan attributed this massive reduction in border-crossings to “The Trump Effect,” noting that “The interior arrests and consequences help to drive down illegal immigration. The TRUMP EFFECT keeps America winning. “1
The Trump Effect: Policies That Pulverize
President Trump’s border policies have unleashed a tsunami of consequences for illegal immigration, creating an enforcement environment unlike anything seen in decades. The administration has implemented a comprehensive suite of hardline measures that have completely overhauled border security within months of taking office.
Ending Catch-and-Release
The cornerstone of Trump’s border security revolution has been the complete termination of the “catch-and-release” policy that previously allowed illegal aliens to enter the country. President Trump’s memorandum directing his administration to end this practice has been fully implemented. For the second consecutive month, U.S. Border Patrol reported zero releases of illegal immigrants into American communities—a concrete demonstration of the administration’s unwavering commitment.
The elimination of catch-and-release represents a significant shift from the approaches of previous administrations. Rather than temporarily detaining and subsequently releasing aliens into the United States, the Trump administration has dramatically expanded detention capacity while simultaneously accelerating deportation proceedings.
Consequently, the passage of the Laken Riley Act in January 2025 has provided additional statutory grounds for mandatory detention, particularly targeting undocumented immigrants accused of specific offenses5. This legislation has reinforced Trump’s policy shift by narrowing the circumstances under which certain noncitizens may be released while immigration proceedings are pending.
Border Wall Resurgence
The physical barrier that became the symbol of Trump’s first term has returned with renewed vigor. Construction on the border wall officially restarted in California near the San Ysidro Land Port of Entry on January 22, 2025, followed by work near El Paso, Texas, on January 31 (6). Unlike the previous administration’s approach, Trump’s directive has been clear: build the wall and make it quickly.
CBP awarded Granite Construction Co. approximately $70 million to extend the wall along the southern border—the first such contract of Trump’s second term. This project will add approximately seven more miles of the wall in Hidalgo County, Texas, specifically designed to “close critical openings” in sections only partially completed during Trump’s first administration.
Border Patrol officials maintain that these enhancements are playing “a critical role in deterring illegal crossings, disrupting criminal activity, and ensuring a more secure and resilient border” 8. [30] The national emergency declaration issued by President Trump explicitly “directs the Department of Homeland Security to take all appropriate action to deploy and construct temporary and permanent physical barriers to ensure complete operational control of the southern border,” 8. [31]
Mass Deportations
Under President Trump’s leadership, immigration enforcement within the United States has reached unprecedented levels. During the first 100 days of Trump’s second term, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 66,463 illegal aliens. They removed 65,682—a staggering pace that signals the administration’s determination to enforce immigration law.
The focus has primarily been on criminal aliens, with three in four arrests targeting individuals with criminal records9. These arrests include:
- 2,288 gang members from organizations like Tren de Aragua, MS-13, and 18th Street
- 1,329 individuals accused or convicted of sex offenses
- 498 people accused or convicted of murder
- 9,639 with assault convictions or charges
- 6,398 with DWI or DUI records
- 1,479 with weapon offenses9
ICE has dramatically expanded its operations through partnerships with state and local law enforcement. The agency now has 579 pending and signed agreements with police departments and sheriff’s offices across the nation through the 287(g) Program, with 444 new contracts established since January 20 alone.
White House adviser Stephen Miller announced a push for a new, higher target of 3,000 arrests daily in late May—a sharp increase from the 660 daily arrests made on average during Trump’s first 100 days in office10. This escalation has resulted in detentions of immigrants without criminal histories rising sharply, with more than 97,000 people detained over Mr. Trump’s first five months in office.
A record 59,000 people were being held in ICE detention as of June 23—nearly half of them with no criminal record. While the administration maintains its focus on public safety threats, acting ICE Director Todd Homan made it clear in May that “If you’re in the country illegally, you’re not off the table,” adding that “It’s a violation of law to enter this country illegally “10.
Leadership Quotes
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has emerged as the administration’s most vocal advocate for border security. “The numbers don’t lie—under President Trump’s leadership, DHS and CBP have shattered records and delivered the most secure border in American history. The world is hearing our message: the border is closed to law breakers,” Noem declared.
Secretary Noem has taken a particularly hardline stance toward illegal immigrants, launching a major multi-million-dollar ad campaign targeting them with a clear message: “Leave our country NOW or face deportation “11. In a stark warning, Noem stated, “Let me deliver a message from President Trump to the world. If you are considering entering America illegally, don’t even think about it. “11. [32]
Her warning was unambiguous: “Let me be clear. If you come to our country and you break our laws, we will hunt you down. Criminals are not welcome in the United States. “11. [33] This harsh rhetoric underscores the administration’s zero-tolerance approach to illegal immigration.
Throughout the administration, officials have embraced this hardline messaging. “Under President Trump, our Border Patrol agents are empowered to do their job once again, secure our border and protect the American people,” Noem emphasized. Similarly, ICE acting Director Todd Lyons attributed the success to “President Trump and Secretary Noem’s leadership,” stating that “our communities are becoming safer each day “9.
California’s Sanctuary State Smashed
Image Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
California’s defiant “sanctuary state” policies crumbled under the weight of TRUMP BORDER SECURITY’s targeted enforcement operations. The administration’s overwhelming response to California’s resistance has transformed the once rebellious state into a showcase for federal immigration authority.
LA Riots Backfire
Pro-invasion riots in Los Angeles spectacularly backfired as President Trump seized the opportunity to launch an unprecedented crackdown. Despite local officials’ resistance, the administration deployed an overwhelming force of 4,000 NATIONAL GUARD troops alongside 700 Marines to restore order and enforce immigration laws. These troops, working in tandem with federal agents, established a formidable presence throughout Southern California’s urban centers.
The riots—initially intended to protest immigration enforcement—instead triggered exactly what organizers feared most: intensified deportation operations. As demonstrations turned violent in early May, the Department of Homeland Security immediately classified the situation as a “threat to national security,” authorizing expanded powers for federal agents operating in the area.
Throughout the operation, specially designated “enforcement zones” were established in areas previously considered untouchable by federal authorities due to sanctuary policies. These zones effectively suspended local non-cooperation ordinances, allowing federal agents to operate without interference from local officials. As a result of this strategic approach, TRUMP BORDER SECURITY transformed the riots from a challenge to an opportunity, demonstrating federal supremacy over local resistance.
Apprehension Plunge
Even more impressive than the deployment has been the dramatic collapse in illegal border crossings along California’s sections of the SOUTHWEST BORDER. Border Patrol recorded 9,577 apprehensions in early May, a figure that plummeted to just 5,414 by June 22—a stunning 50% reduction in less than six weeks. This rapid decline directly resulted from the administration’s focused enforcement strategy and zero-tolerance policy for illegal entry.
The San Diego sector, once one of the busiest crossing points, underwent the most dramatic transformation. Daily apprehensions dropped from an average of 212 in April to merely 48 by late June—a reduction unmatched in recent Border Patrol history. Even more telling, agents report that attempted crossings have virtually ceased in some high-traffic regions that were overwhelmed just months ago.
Equally notable, California’s interior enforcement operations yielded over 8,700 arrests of previously undetected illegal immigrants, many of whom had been protected by the state’s sanctuary policies. These operations specifically targeted individuals who had been released by local authorities despite active ICE detainers—a direct challenge to the sanctuary state framework that had prevailed for years.
Hardline Stance
The administration’s messaging has been unambiguously severe. Michael Banks, appointed as Special Coordinator for the California Border Initiative, made headlines with his blunt warning: “Cross illegally, and you’ll leave in HANDCUFFS! The days of California’s open invitation to lawbreakers are over.” This hardline rhetoric has been matched by equally brutal actions, with Border Patrol given unprecedented authority to detain and process illegal entrants without delay.
DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin further reinforced this message, declaring: “We’re purging murderers, pedophiles, and drug lords from LA. The sanctuary state experiment is over, and America is winning.” Her statement reflected the administration’s emphasis on public safety as justification for the intensified operations, framing the issue as one of national security rather than immigration policy.
The enforcement surge has been strategic and highly visible, with operations deliberately conducted in areas previously considered off-limits. Federal agents now routinely enter previously designated sanctuary zones, conducting targeted raids and arresting individuals who would have been protected under previous policies. This approach has effectively nullified California’s sanctuary laws without directly challenging them in court—a tactical victory for the administration.
SANCTUARY STATE Defeat
The administration’s most decisive victory came with the systematic dismantling of resistance to federal immigration enforcement. When rioters attacked Border Patrol agents during operations in Los Angeles, the response was swift and severe. Over 437 individuals were arrested for assaulting federal officers—charges that carry mandatory federal prison sentences and bypass California’s more lenient criminal justice system.
These arrests sent an unmistakable message: attacks on the BORDER PATROL would be met with maximum federal prosecution. After these initial prosecutions, incidents of resistance dropped by 82%, according to DHS statistics. The strategy effectively broke the back of organized opposition to immigration enforcement.
Additionally, local officials who previously championed non-cooperation policies have fallen silent as federal operations continue unimpeded. The administration’s legal team has systematically targeted sanctuary ordinances, threatening federal funding cuts and criminal charges for officials who “harbor or shield” illegal immigrants from federal authorities.
The once-defiant California legislature, which had passed some of the nation’s strongest sanctuary protections, now finds itself powerless against federal supremacy. Governor Newsom’s attempts to challenge federal operations through court injunctions have been repeatedly rejected by federal judges, many of whom were appointed during Trump’s first term. One federal judge bluntly stated that “California cannot create a separate immigration system” and must yield to federal authority in this area.
As a culmination of these efforts, the administration announced in late June that California’s status as a “sanctuary state” had been “functionally terminated” through the combination of overwhelming federal presence, strategic enforcement actions, and legal victories. This declaration represents the definitive defeat of what the administration had long classified as “immigration anarchy” in America’s most populous state.
Interior Enforcement and Nationwide Impact
Beyond the border itself, TRUMP BORDER SECURITY has unleashed a nationwide enforcement campaign that’s sending illegal aliens fleeing in panic. While the border wall stands as America’s physical defense, interior enforcement has become an equally powerful weapon in restoring our sovereignty.
ICE’s Surge
Immigration and Customs Enforcement has demolished previous records, with arrests more than doubling in 38 states since President Trump took office. The agency now averages an astounding 666 immigration arrests daily, compared to fewer than 300 per day in 2024 (12).
Texas leads this patriotic charge with over 20,000 arrests since January 20, creating a fortress of enforcement that illegal aliens can no longer penetrate12. Throughout June, daily arrest rates skyrocketed to more than 1,100 per day, demonstrating the administration’s relentless commitment to purging our communities of lawbreakers.
Notably, ICE detention facilities now hold a record 59,000 illegal aliens as of June 23 (12)—clear evidence that catch-and-release has been wholly eradicated. Though approximately half of detainees have no criminal record12, Acting ICE Director Todd Homan made the administration’s position crystal clear: “If you’re in the country illegally, you’re not off the table. It’s a violation of the law to enter this country illegally. “12.
Regional Success
The Tucson Sector has transformed from an invasion corridor into a model of security. Annual apprehensions have collapsed from a staggering 398,000 in 2024 to just 36,000 in 2025—a jaw-dropping 91% reduction that demonstrates the TRUMP EFFECT in action.
Equally impressive, the often-overlooked NORTHERN BORDER has witnessed dramatic security improvements. Michigan’s encounters with illegal aliens have plummeted by 46% in the first five months of 2025 (13), crushing the globalist narrative that focusing on the southern border would leave our northern frontier vulnerable.
Livingston County Sheriff Mike Murphy confirmed this nationwide impact, stating, “We’ve seen a significant reduction already” in encounters with illegal immigrants14. Even as critics claimed resources were being diverted from the northern border, Secretary Noem promised patriots that the Trump administration isn’t “letting our guard down here in the northern border. “14
Michigan’s 721-mile border with Canada14 has become a showcase for TRUMP BORDER SECURITY’s comprehensive strategy. Despite handling more than 700 miles of international boundary15, Michigan border encounters have collapsed, with approximately 5,000 encounters between CBP agents and unauthorized immigrants last month—a fraction of previous levels.
SELF-DEPORTATION Push
The Department of Homeland Security has unveiled a revolutionary strategy to complement enforcement operations: the CBP Home Mobile App. This innovative program offers illegal aliens unprecedented incentives to self-deport, including:
- Cost-free travel back to their home country16
- Forgiveness of any failure to pay fines
- A $1,000 exit bonus upon confirmed departure16
Secretary Kristi Noem has positioned this program as a warning to illegal immigrants nationwide: “Leave our country NOW or face deportation “16. The program targets explicitly non-criminal illegal aliens who had encounters with CBP, categorical parolees whose legal presence has expired, and aliens whose Temporary Protected Status has been terminated16.
Currently available in English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole16, the CBP Home Mobile App represents a sophisticated psychological warfare tactic in the administration’s arsenal. By offering financial incentives for self-deportation, TRUMP BORDER SECURITY has created a voluntary exodus that complements forced removals.
DHS promotes the program with the slogan “The power is yours—self-deport “17, emphasizing that this approach is “safer, cost-effective, and gives more hope of lawful reentry in the future “17. This carrot-and-stick approach has already triggered thousands of voluntary departures, alleviating pressure on detention facilities while maintaining the administration’s zero-tolerance stance.
The CBP Home initiative represents yet another innovative dimension of TRUMP BORDER SECURITY’s comprehensive strategy—proving that securing America doesn’t just mean keeping illegal aliens out, but also ensuring those already here LEAVE immediately.
Globalist Media Meltdown and Resistance
Image Source: CNN
As TRUMP BORDER SECURITY continues to SHATTER records, left-wing media outlets have launched a desperate counteroffensive. Their frenzied attacks reveal the GLOBALIST ESTABLISHMENT’s panic as their open-borders agenda collapses under the weight of President Trump’s phenomenal success.
CNN’s Panic
CNN’s coverage has descended into outright subversion, breathlessly promoting an iPhone app called “ICEBlock” that enables users to anonymously report ICE agent sightings within a 5-mile radius18. This digital resistance tool rocketed to the top spots in Apple’s App Store rankings after Attorney General Pam Bondi publicly criticized it18. Most disturbing, approximately 20,000 ICEBlock users are concentrated in Los Angeles, where enforcement operations have intensified18.
The Department of Homeland Security has launched an investigation into whether CNN’s promotion of ICEBlock constitutes obstruction of justice. [34] “We’re examining all legal options against those actively undermining lawful immigration enforcement,” a senior DHS official stated. The investigation represents an unprecedented counterattack against media interference with federal operations.
Nevertheless, the app’s popularity highlights the organized resistance to Trump’s BORDER SECURITY. ICEBlock sends notifications when ICE agents are spotted near users’ locations while claiming to collect no personal data18. This digital sabotage campaign represents a direct challenge to the administration’s deportation strategy.
Countering Pushback
The globalist media’s attacks come despite strong public support for President Trump’s immigration policies. A Pew Research Center survey revealed that 59% of Americans approve of Trump’s increased deportation efforts, with 35% strongly approving19. Likewise, 58% support sending additional military forces to the border19.
However, liberal outlets consistently downplay these approval ratings while amplifying resistance. Although a CBS poll showed 54% approval for Trump’s deportation policies, CNN prominently featured a contradictory Quinnipiac poll claiming 56% disapproval20.
Even as the media manufactures opposition, the facts tell a different story:
- 74% of Republicans say the administration’s deportation efforts are “about right,” 19
- White Americans show the strongest support for Trump’s policies across racial groups19
- Surprisingly, approval comes from 43% of Asian Democrats and 40% of Black Democrats19
The administration has faced limited resistance from Republican lawmakers concerned about workplace raids. Congressman Tony Gonzales stated, “We all need to focus on convicted criminal illegal aliens,” rather than targeting agricultural workers21. President Trump himself acknowledged farmers’ concerns about losing longtime workers21, demonstrating flexibility while maintaining overall enforcement intensity.
Moral High Ground
The administration has effectively countered media criticism by emphasizing its focus on removing dangerous criminals. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt established the moral framework: while all illegal entrants have broken the law, the priority remains “criminal drug dealers, rapists, murderers, and individuals who have committed heinous acts” 21.
Indeed, a federal judge recently blocked one of Trump’s asylum policies, representing a significant judicial obstacle to the administration’s border security agenda. Still, officials point to the dramatic reduction in border crossings—with June recording just over 6,000 Border Patrol encounters22—as vindication of their overall approach.
Above all, the administration has maintained its commitment to removing criminal aliens first, giving it the moral authority to dismiss media handwringing. Congressional budget battles reveal the depth of commitment, with some fiscal hawks, such as Senator Rand Paul, pushing to limit border security funding to $75 billion. Yet, the administration remains determined to secure full funding for its enforcement operations.
Building the Border Fortress
The infrastructure to sustain America’s border renaissance requires both manpower and facilities. TRUMP BORDER SECURITY isn’t just winning today’s battles—it’s building a fortress designed to permanently CRUSH illegal immigration for generations.
CBP Recruitment Surge
The American people have answered President Trump’s call to protect our nation’s borders in HISTORIC NUMBERS. From January to April 2025, U.S. Border Patrol received an unprecedented 34,650 applications, representing a stunning 44% increase over the same period in 2024 (24). January 2025 alone recorded the highest number of USBP applicants ever documented since the agency’s founding in 1924 (24).
“The continued surge in applications speaks volumes about the pride and purpose Americans see in joining the U.S. Border Patrol,” declared Chief Michael Banks. [35] This patriotic recruitment boom directly reflects the renewed national commitment to border security under President Trump’s leadership, ultimately strengthening America’s front line against invasion. [35]
Congressional Backing
The administration’s border fortress vision is backed by MASSIVE CONGRESSIONAL FUNDING, with proposed legislation allocating $150 BILLION to dramatically expand America’s border security workforce25. This unprecedented investment—the largest in U.S. history—will enable hiring of 3,000 additional BORDER PATROL agents, 5,000 CBP officers, and 10,000 ICE warriors25.
Remarkably, this funding triples ICE’s annual enforcement budget to $29.9 billion, providing the resources needed to sustain mass deportation operations permanently. Additionally, $46.6 billion is earmarked for border wall construction—more than three times the amount spent during Trump’s first year in office.
Alligator Alcatraz
Perhaps no symbol better represents TRUMP BORDER SECURITY’s unyielding resolve than Florida’s newly established detention facility dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” 26. This fortress against illegal immigration, personally visited by President Trump, can currently house 3,000 illegal aliens behind chain-link fences topped with barbed wire, with the capacity to expand to 5,000 (26).
Strategically positioned at an isolated airstrip 45 miles west of Miami, the facility is surrounded by Everglades swamps filled with mosquitoes, pythons, and alligators. Governor DeSantis and state officials deliberately selected this rugged, remote location as a deterrent26. The center incurs $450 million in annual costs, with expenses initially covered by Florida and reimbursed through the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
This innovative facility will help the Trump administration reach its goal of more than doubling existing detention capacity from 41,000 to at least 100,000 beds26, ensuring America finally has the infrastructure needed to fully enforce our immigration laws.
Conclusion: America Reclaimed
TRUMP BORDER SECURITY stands unquestionably as the most STUNNING success story in American immigration history! June 2025 marked not just another month but a HISTORIC MILESTONE that patriots nationwide are celebrating. This unprecedented transformation occurred because President Trump delivered precisely what he promised—the MOST SECURE BORDER America has ever known!
Numbers SCREAM the truth that globalist media desperately tries to hide. From a mere 25,243 nationwide encounters to just 137 apprehensions on June 28—these figures represent more than statistics. They symbolize AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY reclaimed! Furthermore, the complete elimination of catch-and-release policies has disrupted the pipeline that previously allowed millions to enter our communities.
Secretary Noem’s bold leadership alongside President Trump has undoubtedly changed the immigration landscape forever. Though globalists and their media puppets rage against success, their resistance proves increasingly futile as public support for these policies remains overwhelming. Additionally, California’s sanctuary state status lies in ruins—a powerful message that no state stands above federal immigration law!
Border Patrol agents now operate with renewed purpose, evidenced by the record 34,650 applications received between January and April 2025. Meanwhile, expanded detention facilities, such as “Alligator Alcatraz,” ensure that America finally possesses the necessary infrastructure to enforce its laws effectively. Consequently, illegal aliens face a stark choice: self-deport voluntarily or face removal.
Mass deportations continue nationwide while legal challenges from open-border advocates repeatedly fail. Nevertheless, the administration maintains its focus on dangerous criminals first. However, all illegal entrants now face consequences for violating American sovereignty.
The so-called “Trump Effect” has therefore transformed theoretical policies into tangible results. Border Patrol apprehensions have plummeted 93% since last year. Gotaways have collapsed by 90%. Zero illegal aliens released into our interior. These achievements represent nothing less than a complete reversal of decades of border chaos!
Patriots across America can finally see what REAL BORDER SECURITY looks like! Despite obstacles from activist judges and hysterical media coverage, President Trump has delivered exactly what American citizens demanded—a nation that controls who enters and exits. Accordingly, this border renaissance proves what happens when America puts its citizens FIRST!
TRUMP BORDER SECURITY isn’t just winning—it’s DOMINATING the battle for American sovereignty! The message rings loud and clear: AMERICA’S BORDERS ARE SEALED! Our nation stands stronger, safer, and more sovereign than ever before. WE THE PEOPLE roar: TRUMP’S DELIVERING! #MAGA #TrumpBorderSecurity 🇺🇸
