REPORT: Border Patrol Apprehensions Plunge To 50-Year Low — ~235,000 In FY25 Under Trump Crackdown

Breitbart, citing a DHS source, reports FY2025 Southwest Border Patrol apprehensions will total roughly 235,000—described as the lowest annual level since 1970—amid stricter enforcement under President Trump. The piece contrasts this estimate with Biden-era highs and highlights historic monthly lows in summer 2025. Official CBP year-end confirmation is pending; definitions (apprehensions vs. encounters) may affect comparisons.
