Chief of U.S. Border Patrol, Michael Banks: âWe are breaking record numbers in the right direction nowâ¦.ââCBPâS 0 RELEASES IN MAY DOWN FROM 62,000 UNDER BIDENâ

So it's phenomenal. Anybody that cares about national security knows that under the last administration we were breaking record numbers of people that were coming into the country illegally and that were being released into the country. And to go from 62,000, over 62,000, down to zero, we're breaking record numbers in the right direction now. We're securing our border. We will not declare victory, but I will tell you we are fast approaching it. We are closer to operational security of the border than we've ever had. Two days ago, we broke another record, 141 entries at the southwest border. Those entries are all apprehended and none of them will be released. That's incredible. So what is your message to? I'm instantly thinking that we're keeping Border Patrol agents safer and our communities safer. So what is your message to Donald Trump? The message the President of the United States says, thank you. Thank you for the support that you've given the U.S. Border Patrol. We've said all along that the United States Border Patrol knows how to secure the border. We just need leadership. And with the leadership of President Trump and Secretary Noem, we have proven exactly what we've been saying for years. Let us enforce the laws and we'll get the job done. And I think the American people are seeing that. We're making our community safer. We're making our nation more secure. And we're just getting started.
