President Donald Trump on March 1 said the “invasion of [the] country” is over after the number of illegal immigrant apprehensions at the U.S.–Mexico border fell to a historic low in February, his first full month in office.
According to newly released data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Border Patrol agents recorded just 8,326 apprehensions last month—the lowest monthly total in recorded history. By contrast, during the Biden administration, CBP reported as many as 300,000 apprehensions of illegal border crossers in a single month.
