US Border Patrol = The October 2025 numbers show CBP encounters of illegals are down 79% from October 2024 under the Biden -Harris administration…

Starting the Fiscal Year STRONG!

The first month of FY26 continues to prove one thing- the border is secure, and the results speak for themselves. USBP closed out the month with only 9,845 apprehensions- maintaining under 10,000 every month since January.

* 258 daily average apprehensions- 95% lower than the daily average encounters under the previous administration (5,110/day, Feb 2021- Dec 2024)
* CBP total encounters 30,561- 79% lower than October 2024- LOWEST OCTOBER in CBP history!
* EVEN BETTER- Zero releases for six straight months

We're not slowing down. This is sustained control, and we are not easing our grip.

Congratulations to SOS Nancy Landry and her staff…

In a recent letter, President Donald Trump praised Secretary Landry's commitment to election integrity and her decision to use the SAVE database from the Department of Homeland Security, ensuring that only U.S. citizens are registered to vote in Louisiana. By being the first state to use the new and improved SAVE database, Louisiana was able to remove 390 noncitizens from its voter rolls. These actions have helped Louisiana become a national leader in election security.
