Illegal US-Mexico border crossings hit lowest level in over 50 years

 BBC - Illegal crossings at the US-Mexico border have hit the lowest level in over half a century, according to federal data obtained by the BBC's US partner CBS News.

In fiscal year 2025, which spanned four months of former President Joe Biden's administration, US Border Patrol agents stopped 238,000 migrants crossing the southern border illegally, the Department of Homeland Security figures suggest.

During Trump's first eight months in office, there have been fewer than 9,000 illegal crossings recorded each month, CBS reported.
