The number of illegal immigrants caught entering the country has continued to drop since President Donald Trump took office one month ago, plummeting over the weekend to the lowest figure seen in a single day in 15 years.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Monday afternoon that the number of apprehensions made at the U.S.-Mexico border on Saturday dropped lower than the several hundred arrests made per day to just a couple of hundred people.
“On Saturday, CBP encountered just 200 aliens at the US Southern Border. That’s the lowest single apprehension day in over 15 years. Thank you to President @realDonaldTrump and our brave men & women of @CBP. Make America Safe Again,” Noem wrote in a post to X.
