Donald Trump’s border policies are working.
In July, there was a 93% drop in unaccompanied alien children picked up by border officials at the border.
July 2024: 7,501
July 2025: 515
In July 2025, border officials picked up just 515 children and youths at the border, down from 7,501 in July 2024. The arrival numbers show a 93 percent drop in the inflow.
The decline will help children in schools, many of which are still overcrowded by the massive smuggling levels encouraged by Joe Biden and his pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas.
The pro-migration policies pushed by Mayorkas may have killed thousands of migrants and damaged many poor countries.
The child-smuggling shutdown came after President Donald Trump’s deputies adopted a series of anti-smuggling measures that clearly identify the people who choose to sponsor the children as they are being settled in the United States. The government now requires sponsors to provide fingerprints, DNA tests, and income-related submissions.
Homeland Security spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin, said that they are looking to protect the children who were released by the Biden administration.
AP via Border Report reported:
Tricia McLaughlin, a Homeland Security spokesperson, issued a statement that did not address any arrests or mention the specific changes. Instead, she said the department is looking to protect children who were released under President Joe Biden’s administration.
A federal watchdog report released last year addressed the Biden’s administration struggles during an increase in migrant children arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border in 2021. The Trump administration has dispatched Homeland Security and FBI agents to visit the children.
Another recent change allows ICE to interview children while they are at government-run shelters. That took effect July 2, according to a separate directive that the Office of Refugee Resettlement sent to shelters, also obtained by the AP.
The agency said it provides legal counsel to children and that its staff does not participate in interviews with law enforcement. Child legal advocates say they get as little as one-hour notice of the interviews, and that the children often don’t understand the purpose of the interview or are misled by officers.
