Border Patrol Records 14 Straight Months Of Zero Releases At Southern Border<\/span><\/p>\n

The U.S. Border Patrol released zero illegal immigrants into the United States from the southern border for the 14th consecutive month in June.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Border enforcement is at \u201chistoric levels,\u201d and illegal crossings last month remained significantly low, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said in a July 16 statement. Border Patrol apprehended 9,848 people at the southwest border last month, 94 percent lower than the monthly average under the previous administration. It was also lower than the number of people \u201capprehended in 4 days\u201d in June 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAs I have said many times, leadership and policy matter. When laws are enforced, fewer people will break the law. Under the leadership of President [Donald] Trump and [Homeland Security] Secretary [Markwayne] Mullin, CBP is fully enforcing our immigration and border security laws,\u201d CBP Commissioner Rodney S. Scott said in the statement.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cCBP is preventing dangerous criminal aliens and illicit narcotics from entering our communities, enhancing the safety of every American for generations to come.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Last month, the Border Patrol received a funding<\/u><\/a> boost for its anti-illegal immigration efforts when Trump signed the Secure America Act into law. The legislation provides $70 billion to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol through Sept. 30, 2029, beyond Trump\u2019s current term.<\/p>\n

The bill allocated $22 billion for Border Patrol to recruit, train, equip, and pay agents and staff members. Out of the $22 billion, about $13 billion was specifically set aside for immigration enforcement operations. The legislation also granted $5 billion to be used for border security technology and screening systems.<\/p>\n

After the bill was passed by the House on June 9, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) justified the legislation, saying Democrats will not be able to defund Border Patrol and ICE for the next few years. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) said the bill supported law enforcement in the country.<\/p>\n

Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) and Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) criticized the funding as a \u201cdisastrous bill\u201d to bankroll ICE and Border Patrol, according to a June 12 statement from Duckworth\u2019s office.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are an infinite number of ways we could be working to help Illinoisans get by, and it\u2019s despicable that Trump would rather bankroll ICE and Border Patrol\u2019s reign of terror than keep his promise and lower costs for the middle class,\u201d Duckworth said in the statement.<\/em><\/p>\n

2025\u20132029 Strategy<\/h2>\n

As the CBP counters the influx of illegal immigrants into the United States, the agency has reported strong growth in its Border Patrol workforce.<\/p>\n

In a June 24 statement, CBP said<\/u><\/a> that 21,471 Border Patrol agents were serving on America\u2019s front lines\u2014the highest employee count in the agency\u2019s 102-year history.<\/strong><\/p>\n

CBP credited investments from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed<\/u><\/a> into law by Trump last year, for fueling \u201cincreased applicant interest\u201d and enabling the agency to attract top talent.<\/p>\n

CBP said in a July 16 statement that it was filling in mission-critical roles in law enforcement and mission operations support positions at various locations throughout the United States, and it stated that it planned to conduct a virtual event on July 23 to highlight the career opportunities open to military spouses and veterans.<\/p>\n

\u201cCBP is an extremely welcoming employer for veterans and military spouses,\u201d <\/strong><\/em>CBP Office of Human Resources Management Assistant Commissioner Andrea Bright said in the statement.<\/p>\n

According to the 2025\u20132029 Border Patrol Strategy, the agency aims to counter illegal immigrant influx by expanding physical infrastructure, such as wall barriers, checkpoints, and permanent towers, in all regions of the country.<\/p>\n

The agency seeks to deploy advanced autonomous surveillance systems as part of enhancing its detection and identification capabilities. Moreover, Border Patrol plans to proactively forecast high-risk crossing patterns and \u201cstrategically position resources to disrupt and deter illicit activities.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
