In a resounding victory for law and order, President Donald J. Trump has delivered on one of his most critical campaign promises—securing our southern border and ending the chaos of open-borders policies that plagued the previous administration. According to the latest data from the Department of Homeland Security, April marked the twelfth consecutive month with zero releases of illegal aliens apprehended by Border Patrol into the American interior. Illegal crossings have collapsed by a staggering 94 percent compared to the Biden era, proving once again that strong leadership and enforcement of our nation’s laws work.
This milestone represents a dramatic turnaround from the Biden-Mayorkas disaster, when catch-and-release policies flooded American communities with millions of unvetted migrants, straining resources, endangering families, and undermining our sovereignty. Under President Trump, the days of releasing illegal aliens into the heartland are over. As DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin stated, “We are enforcing the nation’s laws and sending illegal aliens back to their home countries.” Border Patrol agents are no longer overwhelmed playing social workers—they are back to doing what they do best: protecting the American people.
The numbers tell a powerful story of restored security:
- Southwest border apprehensions are 94% lower than under Biden, with April’s total of just 8,943 encounters representing a 96% drop from the peak crisis month in December 2023.
- Daily average apprehensions in April sat at only 298—less than what agents faced in a single hour during the height of the Biden invasion.
- Fiscal year-to-date encounters through April are dramatically lower than even a single month under the prior administration, with overall crossings this year down 95% from the same period last year.
- Drug seizures have surged as agents focus on enforcement, with CBP reporting 61% more drugs interdicted this fiscal year compared to the same period in FY 2024.
These successes are not accidents. They are the direct result of President Trump’s America First policies: finishing the wall where needed, reinstating “Remain in Mexico,” ending catch-and-release, and prioritizing the deportation of criminal aliens. For faith-based families across Nevada and the nation who value safety, rule of law, and the protection of our children, this is welcome news. No longer must communities bear the burden of skyrocketing crime, fentanyl deaths, and strained public services caused by unchecked illegal immigration.
As Constitutionalists and patriots, we understand that a secure border is not just policy—it is a fundamental duty of government to protect the citizens of this exceptional nation. America remains the world’s last best hope, and President Trump is ensuring that hope endures by restoring order at our frontier. What a difference real leadership makes!
