The Biden administration’s failed border policies created a massive crisis that President Trump is now working to fix. Immigration prosecutions jumped dramatically in March 2025, with over 4,550 defendants charged with immigration offenses. This represents a 36.6 percent increase from February as Trump’s tough enforcement policies take effect.
These numbers tell the real story that mainstream media won’t report. Immigration convictions made up more than half of all federal criminal convictions in March 2025. Seven out of ten criminal immigration cases came from Border Patrol arrests, showing how overwhelmed our frontline agents have been.
The unauthorized immigrant population reached a record high of 14 million people under Biden’s watch. About 8 million of these individuals had no legal status or protection from deportation whatsoever. This massive influx put enormous strain on American communities and law enforcement.
Border Patrol has arrested thousands of criminal aliens over recent years, including 17,048 in fiscal year 2024 alone. These are people with previous criminal convictions who tried to sneak back into our country. Each arrest represents a potential threat to innocent American families.
Trump’s renewed enforcement efforts are already showing results this year. Border crossings have fallen to levels not seen since the 1960s. Immigration arrests and deportations have increased significantly as ICE agents can finally do their jobs.
The previous administration’s catch-and-release policies put over 1 million migrants into American communities with limited oversight. Many received temporary protections that Biden handed out like candy. These policies created chaos in our immigration system.
President Trump has already begun reversing these dangerous policies. He rescinded deportation protections for about 500,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela who entered under Biden’s programs. This sends a clear message that America will enforce its laws again.
Law and order are returning to our immigration system after four years of complete failure. While criminal prosecutions still lag behind Trump’s first term highs, the trend is moving in the right direction. American communities deserve protection from those who break our laws to get here.
