U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) released operational statistics today for March 2025. CBP monthly reporting can be viewed on CBP’s Stats and Summaries webpage.
“U.S. Border Patrol’s apprehensions along the southwest border for the entire month of March 2025 were lower than the first two days of March 2024,” said Pete Flores, Acting Commissioner of CBP. “This is a testament to the tireless dedication and vigilant service of the men and women of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, who work every day to keep our country safe. Their commitment on the front lines plays a vital role in securing our borders and protecting American communities.”
Below are key operational statistics for CBP’s primary mission areas in March 2025.
Halting the flow of illegal aliens into the country
As recently announced, CBP recorded its lowest southwest border crossings in history in March, demonstrating that operational control of the border is becoming a reality and enforcement measures are yielding significant results. Aliens are receiving the administration’s message: if you cross the border illegally, you will be deported.
March is the second consecutive month in which U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) averaged the lowest daily nationwide apprehensions in history at approximately 264 per day in March. This is 20% lower than the 330 daily nationwide average apprehensions in February and 94% lower than 4,488 per day average from March 2024.
