All quiet on the border front.
Illegal border crossings plummeted to the lowest level ever recorded in October, announced the Department of Homeland Security, in a feat which some say is a landmark achievement under President Donald Trump.
According to Newsmax, initial numbers from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection show 30,561 total encounters last month, marking the smallest number for any October since the agency started compiling records.
The record indicates a 29% drop from the former low in 2012 and a 79% decrease compared with October 2024. For six consecutive months, Border Patrol agents have reported zero migrant releases.
Officials said every person detained was processed according to the law, with no one released into the interior of the U.S.
“History made: the lowest border crossings in October history and the sixth straight month of ZERO releases. This is the most secure border ever,” said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in a statement. “Thank you, President Trump and our brave DHS law enforcement. You make America proud!”

On the other hand, CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott accredited the success at the border to frontline personnel for keeping what he called “unmatched consistency.” He said agents are focused on results rather than rhetoric and vowed continued vigilance along the southwest border.
“Our mission is simple: Secure the border and safeguard this nation,” said Scott. “And that’s exactly what we are doing.” “No excuses,” he said, “no politics.”
