llegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border stayed near historic lows in April, with fewer than 10,000 migrants apprehended—marking a 93% decline from the over 128,000 who crossed illegally in April last year.

The steep drop aligns with President Trump’s aggressive immigration enforcement, a cornerstone of his second-term agenda. Border Patrol data shows crossings in April followed similarly low numbers from previous months, with about 8,300 in February and roughly 7,100 in March—figures not seen in over two decades, according to the New York Post.

“Never seen” numbers this low “in my over 25 years of Border Patrol service,” said Manny Bayon, president of the National Border Patrol Council chapter in San Diego.

Homeland Security sources noted that April’s highest single day of illegal crossings remained below 450 people—less than what occurred on many days during the Biden administration.

Since returning to office, Trump has declared a border emergency, deployed troops to the region, and ended the Biden-era “catch and release” policy that allowed many migrants to remain in the U.S.

While the southern border has quieted, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is accelerating deportation efforts. In Trump’s first 100 days, ICE arrested over 66,000 illegal immigrants and deported more than 65,000, according to the agency.

“We’re just 100 days into this administration and thanks to President Trump and Secretary Noem, ICE is using every tool at its disposal to enforce our country’s immigration laws and protect our communities,” said acting ICE director Todd Lyons.
