President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform to announce that “The Invasion of our Country is OVER,” citing a dramatic drop in illegal border crossings as proof of his administration’s success in securing the southern border. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data, only 8,326 illegal immigrants were apprehended in his first full month in office, a historic low compared to previous administrations. Trump contrasted this with the Biden administration’s peak of 301,981 encounters in December 2023, claiming his policies have resulted in a staggering 96% decline in illegal crossings,

He emphasized that every individual apprehended at the border was either immediately expelled or prosecuted for crimes against the United States, reinforcing his tough stance on immigration enforcement. Trump credited the sharp decline to his strict border security measures, arguing that they have effectively deterred illegal immigration. His announcement signals a major shift in border policy and highlights his administration’s commitment to reducing unlawful entries into the country.
