Federal authorities encountered fewer migrants attempting to illegally enter the US last month than what officials faced daily during the Biden administration, border czar Tom Homan revealed Tuesday.
“Total Border Patrol encounters for the entire month of June 2025 was 6,070,” according to Homan, who noted in an X post that the figure is “less than a single day under Biden.”
“As a matter of fact, the total number of encounters is less than half of a single day under Biden on many days,” the Trump administration official said, adding that “none of the 6,070 were released into the US. ZERO.”
The total released by Homan marks a 93.1% drop in nationwide Border Patrol encounters from June 2024, when 87,606 migrants were nabbed trying to enter the country illegally.
It’s also a 94% and 97% decline from June 2023 and June 2022, when, respectively, 100,606 and 193,027 migrants were encountered by Border Patrol.
In June 2022, the average daily total of migrant encounters was about 6,434 per day.
Last month, Border Patrol reported encountering just over 10,000 migrants nationwide.
Homan attributed the massive reduction in border-crossings to President Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration, calling it, “The Trump Effect.”
“President Trump has created the most secure border in the history of the nation and the data proves it,” the border czar asserted. “We have never seen numbers this low. Never.”
“God bless the men and women of the US Border Patrol and God bless the men and women of ICE,” Homan continued. “The interior arrests and consequences help to drive down illegal immigration.”
“The TRUMP EFFECT keeps America winning.”
