plunge more than 90% from a year ago in April, CBP saysBorder officials confiscated nearly 800 pounds of fentanyl at the border in April
Apprehensions at the U.S.-Mexico border have plummeted
93% under President Donald Trump's administration, according to new data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection released Monday.
The CBP says it averaged 279 apprehensions per day at the southern border in April, compared to 4,297 apprehensions in April 2024. The total apprehensions for April this year landed at 8,383, compared to last year's 129,000.
CBP officials also noted that just
five illegal aliens were temporarily released into the U.S. during April, compared to
68,000 during the same month last year.
The report shows the Trump administration's continued progress on controlling the border since March. The CBP recorded the
lowest southwest border crossings in history in March, with fewer apprehensions in the entire month than there were in the first two days of the month in 2024 under the
Biden administration.
