March recorded the lowest number of illegal immigrant arrests at the southern border in nearly six decades, a point that Republicans proudly attributed to the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
The number of immigrants arrested while attempting to illegally enter the United States last month stood at roughly 7,200 compared to 137,000 in March 2024, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data.
House Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) was thrilled about the results that the Trump administration had brought about within 100 days of taking office.
“I’m ecstatic. We finally secured our southern border,” Green told Fox Business Network host Maria Bartiromo on Wednesday. “President Trump did what he promised during the campaign.”
