Border Crossings Drop to Record Low

On November sixth, the Department of Homeland Security reported a historic low in illegal border crossings, with just over thirty thousand encounters in October. This marks a significant achievement under President Trumps administration, marking a twenty-nine percent drop from the previous low and a seventy-nine percent decrease compared to October 2021. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem praised the administrations efforts, crediting frontline personnel for their unmatched consistency. Since President Trump returned to office, total apprehensions have averaged fewer than ten thousand per month, with Octobers total being sixty-two percent lower than the previous October low. Officials attribute this sharp turnaround to the new administrations stricter enforcement measures and changes to asylum and parole policies. The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story.
