Fact Check: "The lowest number of border crossings in recorded history for June— with zero illegal alien releases into the U.S., compared to over 27,000 in June 2024."
What We Know
The claim states that there were zero illegal alien releases into the U.S. in June 2025, which is presented as a significant decrease compared to over 27,000 releases in June 2024. However, as of now, there is no verifiable data confirming these specific numbers for June 2025. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has not released official statistics for June 2025, making it impossible to substantiate the claim regarding the number of border crossings or releases.
Additionally, the terminology used in the claim, particularly "lowest" versus "least," has implications for clarity. According to linguistic sources, "lowest" is the correct superlative form of "low," while "least" is the superlative of "little" or "less" (source-1). This distinction is important for accurately interpreting the claim's wording.
Analysis
The assertion that June 2025 saw the "lowest number of border crossings" is unverified due to the absence of official data from the CBP for that month. While it is possible that border crossings may have decreased, the specific claim lacks supporting evidence. The comparison to June 2024, where over 27,000 releases were reported, also requires verification from credible sources, as the context and criteria for these numbers are not provided.
The sources referenced in the claim regarding the terminology of "least" and "lowest" are credible linguistic discussions that clarify the appropriate usage of these terms. However, they do not provide any statistical data or context regarding border crossings or immigration statistics (source-2).
Given the lack of verifiable evidence and the reliance on potentially misleading terminology, the claim cannot be substantiated as factual.
Conclusion
Verdict: Unverified
The claim regarding the lowest number of border crossings and zero illegal alien releases in June 2025 is unverified due to the absence of official data from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection for that month. Additionally, the terminology used in the claim raises questions about its accuracy and clarity. Without reliable statistics to confirm these assertions, the claim remains unsupported.
