100 Days of The Most Secure Border in American History
Release Date: April 28, 2025
A Remarkable, Historic Turnaround
The Biden Administration refused to enforce our nation’s laws when it came to border security. This allowed millions of illegal aliens – including criminals, gang members, and terrorists – into our country. But in just 100 days, President Trump and Secretary Noem have not only closed our border but have delivered the most secure border in American history.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection now has total control of the border.
Daily border encounters are down by 93%.
Encounters with gotaways – the top threat to public safety – are down by 95%.
And migrant crossings are down by 99.99%.
The Last Administration's Unsustainable Numbers
Average Border Encounters: Under Biden, the average number of monthly border encounters was nearly 160,000. The daily average peaked at 15,000. In total, CBP recorded approximately 11 million border encounters over the course of Biden’s four years.
Deadly Drug Numbers: In the last four years, nearly 64,000 pounds of fentanyl was seized at the southern border –enough fentanyl to kill 14 billion people.
Abysmally Low Arrest Numbers: In Fiscal Year 2024, the Biden Administration made just 113,000 administrative arrests. From January 20 to April 1 of 2021, the last administration released over 184,000 illegal aliens into the country.
