For the fifth straight month, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) says it has not released any illegal immigrants into the country.
The 2025 fiscal year also had the lowest number of arrests of illegal immigrants made on the U.S. southern border in 55 years, since 1970.
“We have had the most secure border in American history, and our end-of-year numbers prove it,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in an Oct. 7 statement. “We have shattered multiple records this year, and once again we have broken a new record.”
