There was a historic drop in the apprehension of illegal immigrants at America’s southwest border last month, according to new data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), as the Trump administration continues to step up immigration enforcement.
“In March 2025, USBP apprehended 7,181 illegal aliens crossing the southwest border between ports of entry,” the agency said in an April 14 statement, referring to U.S. Border Patrol (USBP).
“This constitutes a 14 percent decrease from February 2025 when USBP apprehended 8,346 aliens, and a 95 percent decrease from March 2024 when USBP apprehended 137,473 aliens.”
Pete Flores, acting Commissioner of CBP, said the border patrol’s southwest border apprehensions “for the entire month of March 2025 were lower than the first two days of March 2024.”
