"U.S. Border Patrol Chief Michael W. Banks announced Sunday that migrant encounters along the southern border plunged to an all-time low for the agency in February.“February proved our combined efforts in securing the border WORK. USBP apprehended 8,326 illegal aliens at the U.S.-Mexico border, making it the lowest month in recorded history,” Banks wrote in an X post. The USBP chief went on to state that apprehensions will continue, representing a stark deviation from the Biden Administration’s “catch and release” policies.
Chief Banks attributed the drop to a series of stringent measures enacted under President Trump’s administration. These include executive actions that have largely dismantled the U.S. asylum process and implemented expedited deportations, reversing several policies from the previous Biden administration that allowed certain migrants to enter the country legally."
