On Sunday, under 600 people crossed the border.

To give you some perspective, around 1,200-1,400 immigrants crossed the border per day in the final days of the Biden regime…

🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING: BORDER CROSSINGS PLUNGE 60% IN TRUMP'S FIRST WEEK

Border encounters dropped to 582 on Sunday from Biden-era peaks of 1,400 daily crossings.

Del Rio sector, which saw 4,000 daily crossings in December, recorded just 60 entries.

From Fox News:

Less than 600 people crossed illegally into the U.S. from Mexico on Sunday – a stunningly low number since President Donald Trump took office.

Sources tell Fox News that not a single one of the nine sectors received more than 200 crossings on Jan. 26, and the number of daily encounters only reached 582 in total. The Del Rio sector – which is the same sector that would sustain over 4,000 crossings per day during the height of the border crisis in December 2023 – only recorded 60 crossings.

For comparison, the daily number of border encounters during the final days of the Biden White House teetered between 1,200 to 1,400 per day.

The numbers have fallen even further since Jan. 20, and a Fox News Digital exclusive last week found that the numbers dropped sharply.

A total of 2,523 border encounters were logged in the first three days of the Trump administration, with daily tallies of 1,073, 736, and 714 from January 20 to January 22, respectively.

Meanwhile, 3,908 encounters were logged in the last few days of the Biden administration. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sources told Fox News that there were 1,288 encounters nationwide on Jan. 17, then 1,266 on Jan. 18 and 1,354 on Jan. 19.
