"Since the June 5 Presidential Proclamation on Securing the Border and accompanying Interim Final Rule, which was finalized Sept. 30 subsequent to an updated Proclamation, went into effect, there has been a continued, meaningful decrease in unlawful border crossings " including a more than 55% decrease in encounters between ports of entry along the southwest border.
Since then, DHS has also tripled the percentage of noncitizens processed for Expedited Removal, and the number of individuals released by Border Patrol pending immigration court proceedings is down 80%."

"As a result, from June 5 through the end of September, DHS has removed or returned more than 160,000 individuals to over 145 countries, not including CBP repatriations of people encountered at airports or the northern border.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement " Enforcement and Removal Operations (ICE-ERO) has operated more than 495 international repatriation flights in that period.
For the full fiscal year 2024, preliminary data show that DHS completed over 700,000 removals and returns, more than any prior fiscal year since 2010. That includes more removals to countries other than Mexico than in any prior year."
