History made, again.

The numbers don’t lie—this is the most secure the border has ever been. President Donald J. Trump didn’t just manage the crisis—he obliterated it. No more excuses. No more releases. We’ve put the cartels on defense and taken our border back.

In July:

- Lowest Nationwide Encounters Ever: 24,630—down 2.4% from June and ~ 90% lower than the monthly average under the last administration.

-Lowest Border Patrol Apprehensions Nationwide: 6,177—shattering June’s all-time low.

-Lowest Southwest Border Apprehensions: 4,598—nearly 500 fewer than the daily average under the last administration, which averaged 5,110 apprehensions per day from Feb 2021–Dec 2024.

 -Lowest Daily Apprehension Average: Just 148 per day—that’s lower than the average rate of 152 apprehensions every two hours under Biden last July.

-Lowest Single-Day Apprehensions in History: 88 at the Southwest Border, 116 nationwide on July 20.

UPDATE: ICE tells FoxNews the driver who allegedly attempted to run over their agents in Colorado yesterday has been ID’d as a 6x previously deported Mexican illegal alien w/ a rap sheet for child abuse, domestic violence, and multiple felony illegal re-entries.

His name is JOSE MENDEZ-CHAVEZ and he is still on the run, wanted for assault on a federal officer after ICE says he tried ram his vehicle into their agents in Colorado Springs yesterday. Photo of him below, courtesy of ICE.

ICE confirms to FOX that the passenger in the vehicle with MENDEZ-CHAVEZ has been arrested and is cooperating with law enforcement.

ICE statement to FOX:

ICE arrested Francisco Zapata-Pacheco at approximately 2 p.m. July 31. He was the passenger in the vehicle used to attack officers and is cooperating with law enforcement officials. He will remain in ICE custody pending the immigration and criminal proceedings.
 
Jose Mendez-Chavez remains at large; he is an illegal alien from Mexico. This convicted child abuser also has convictions for domestic violence and for illegal reentry on multiple occasions. He knows he’s not supposed to be here, since we’ve removed him six times previously.
 
It is despicable that Colorado Rapid Response network would show up in defense of an alien who has abused children and attempted to injure our officers. Our brave ICE law enforcement officers are facing an 830% increase in assaults against them as they carry out operations due to the misinformation activist groups spread. Mendez was not an ‘innocent victim’ he is an abuser who plays the system and is now wanted for assault on a federal officer.”

THE TRUMP EFFECT BREAKS YET ANOTHER HISTORIC RECORD.   In the month of July 2025 the Border Patrol recorded a total of 4,598 total apprehensions on our 2000 mile plus southern border. That is the lowest number ever recorded - EVER.  And ZERO releases.  Compare that total of 4,598 in a month to over 10,000 a day under Biden on many days.  The men and women of the Border Patrol have shattered their own records for the past several months. We have the most secure border in the history of this nation and the data proves it. President Trump has been a game changer and his leadership makes the country safer every day. With strong border security  you have stronger national security.  Helping tremendously in that regard are the men and women of ICE who have already arrested over 160,000 illegal aliens within the US with the vast majority being public safety and national security threats.  God Bless the patriots of the Border Patrol and ICE.
Promises made. Promises kept. Promises proven.  I have worked for six different Presidents, but President Trump’s success is unprecedented.  Stone Cold Fact.

Why are we in Los Angeles? Because predators like this Cuban national do not belong in our communities.

With a felony conviction for committing lewd acts with a child under 14 with force, he earned a 6-year prison sentence. And he was stripped of his Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) status and ordered removed in 2013.

That was 12 years ago! Did he leave? Of course not. What was he still doing here in Los Angeles? 🧐 He was shielded by sanctuary policies.

We’re going after those criminal illegal aliens hiding in plain sight. And if we encounter other illegal aliens during the operation? We’ll arrest them too.
