President Trump’s winning streak on illegal immigration continues, with July once again breaking records for the lowest number of arrests at the southern boundary.

Homeland Security said agents made just 4,598 arrests at the Mexico border.

That’s less than the Biden administration averaged per day.



On July 20, agents recorded just 88 arrests along the entire 1,954-mile border. Some days during the Biden administration saw more than 10,000 arrests.

“History made, again,” said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. “The numbers don’t lie — this is the most secure the border has ever been.”
