President Trump just notched another massive win for American sovereignty and national security — and this one might be the most impressive yet.
According to new data from U.S. Border Patrol, illegal border crossings in May 2025 dropped to zero. That’s right. Zero. After years of chaos, caravans, and catch-and-release policies under the Biden administration, the southern border is finally secure again — and it’s thanks to Trump’s decisive leadership and unapologetic enforcement of immigration law.
Appearing on Fox & Friends Tuesday morning, U.S. Border Patrol Chief Michael Banks confirmed the stunning statistic, telling Ainsley Earhardt that the progress under Trump has been “phenomenal.”
“Anybody that cares about national security knows that under the last administration, we were breaking records in the wrong direction,” Banks said. “To go from over 62,000 illegal crossings in a single month to zero — we’re now breaking records that actually make this country safer.”
It’s a complete reversal of the open-borders disaster left behind by Joe Biden. In May of 2024, 62,000 illegal immigrants flooded into the United States — many released into the interior with court dates years into the future. Fast forward one year into Trump’s return, and that number is zero.
But Banks wasn’t done. He credited Trump — and newly appointed DHS Secretary Kristi Noem — for the turnaround, noting, “With the leadership of President Trump and Secretary Noem, we are proving exactly what we’ve been saying for years: Let us enforce the laws, and we’ll get the job done.”
Banks also reported that on a recent day, only 141 illegal aliens attempted to cross at the southern border — all were apprehended, none were released, and every one of them will be dealt with according to the law.
Let that sink in.
While the Biden administration handcuffed Border Patrol agents with “sanctuary” policies, deportation moratoriums, and endless excuses, President Trump simply told them: Do your job. And now, they’re doing it — with historic results.
“We’re just getting started,” Banks told Fox. “We’re not even close to being done.”
And Americans are noticing. When Banks posted his appearance on X, the response was swift and patriotic. “That’s what we voted for!” wrote one user. Another added, “Finally, a president who puts America first.”
The truth is simple: Borders work when leadership exists. And in just five months, Trump has shown what can happen when the White House stops catering to globalist NGOs and radical leftist mayors — and starts listening to Border Patrol agents on the ground.
This isn’t just a policy win. It’s a turning point.
Illegal immigration has overwhelmed our schools, hospitals, and cities. It’s fueled fentanyl trafficking and gang violence. And under Biden, it was completely out of control. But now, under President Trump, America’s borders are back — and so is American law.
Zero crossings. One nation. Victory.
