President Trump has achieved yet another significant victory for American sovereignty and national security — and this one may be the most remarkable to date.
Recent data from U.S. Border Patrol indicates that illegal border crossings in May 2025 have fallen to zero. Indeed, zero. Following years of turmoil, caravans, and catch-and-release policies during the Biden administration, the southern border is once again secure — a result of Trump’s decisive leadership and unwavering enforcement of immigration laws.
During an appearance on Fox & Friends Tuesday morning, U.S. Border Patrol Chief Michael Banks confirmed this astonishing statistic, informing Ainsley Earhardt that the advancements under Trump have been “phenomenal.”
“Anyone who is concerned about national security understands that under the previous administration, we were setting records in the wrong direction,” Banks stated. “To transition from over 62,000 illegal crossings in a single month to zero — we are now establishing records that genuinely enhance the safety of this country.”
This marks a complete turnaround from the open-borders crisis left by Joe Biden. In May 2024, 62,000 illegal immigrants entered the United States — many of whom were released into the interior with court dates set years ahead. Fast forward one year into Trump’s return, and that figure stands at zero.
However, Banks was not finished. He attributed the turnaround to Trump — along with newly appointed DHS Secretary Kristi Noem — emphasizing, “With the leadership of President Trump and Secretary Noem, we are demonstrating precisely what we have been asserting for years: Allow us to enforce the laws, and we will accomplish the task.”
Banks recently reported that only 141 illegal aliens attempted to cross the southern border on a particular day — all were apprehended, none were released, and each one will be processed according to the law.
Let that resonate.
While the Biden administration restricted Border Patrol agents with ‘sanctuary’ policies, deportation moratoriums, and countless justifications, President Trump simply instructed them: Perform your duties. And now, they are executing their responsibilities — with unprecedented outcomes.
“We are merely beginning,” Banks stated to Fox. “We are far from finished.”
And the American public is taking notice. When Banks shared his appearance on X, the reactions were immediate and patriotic. “That’s what we voted for!” commented one user. Another remarked, “At last, a president who prioritizes America.”
The reality is straightforward: Borders function effectively when there is competent leadership. In just five months, Trump has demonstrated the potential outcomes when the White House ceases to appease globalist NGOs and radical leftist mayors — and begins to heed the advice of Border Patrol agents on the ground.
This is not merely a policy achievement. It represents a pivotal moment.
Illegal immigration has inundated our educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and urban areas. It has exacerbated fentanyl trafficking and gang-related violence. Under Biden, the situation was entirely unmanageable. However, now, under President Trump, America’s borders are reinstated — and so is the rule of law.
No crossings. One nation. Triumph.
