For the first time in half a century, America’s southern frontier is quiet. Crossings have plunged to their lowest level since the early 1970s — the result of a president who decided the law should mean what it says. Internal DHS data obtained by CBS News show just 238,000 apprehensions in fiscal year 2025 — a number not seen since 1970, when Border Patrol logged roughly 202,000. It is a breathtaking reversal.
