President Donald Trump has declared that the 'invasion' of the United States is over and the border is now 'closed to all illegal immigrants' after mass ICE arrests.
In a post to his Truth Social page, Trump said that in the last month his administration had recorded the lowest number of immigrants trying to enter the country ever.
Trump said in total there was 8,326 apprehensions by Border Patrol at the Southern Border.
He added that these people 'were quickly ejected from our Nation or, when necessary prosecuted for crimes against the United States of America.'
The commander-in-chief added: 'This means that very few people came – The Invasion of our Country is OVER.
'In comparison, under Joe Biden, there were 300,000 Illegals crossing in one month, and virtually ALL of them were released into our Country.
'Thanks to the Trump Administration Policies, the Border is CLOSED to all Illegal Immigrants.
'Anyone who tries to illegally enter the U.S.A. will face significant criminal penalties and immediate deportation.'

Trump vowed during his campaign to remove criminals from the country, labeling some migrants as the 'worst of the worst'
His statement came after Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirsti Noem announced that the administration had arrested 20,000 illegal aliens in one month.
Noem touted that as a 627 percent increase in monthly arrests, compared to President Biden.
She said: 'President Trump and this Administration are saving lives every day because of the actions we are taking to secure the border and deport illegal alien criminals.
'Hundreds of thousands of criminals were let into this country illegally. We are sending them home, and they will never be allowed to return.'
Trump's stance is that all migrants in the US, without documentation, are criminals because they illegally entered or illegally remained in the country.

As his administration continues ramping up its crackdown on illegal immigration, some long-evading, at large fugitives are getting taken in after decades of delays.
This week, Ivan Oramas and Santos Maradiaga-Villalta were both arrested by immigration arrests, after over two decades on the lam.

News of their arrest was circulated Thursday in an internal immigration memo noting recent enforcement actions made by President Donald Trump's administration.
Oramas, 61, is a citizen of Cuba with a rap sheet including convictions for sexual battery and aggravated assault.
His sexual battery case caused serious injury, according to his charges in the file.
ICE Houston nabbed Oramas this week, enforcing a deportation order first handed down in October 2003—21 years overdue.
Maradiaga-Villalta, a 40-year-old alien from Honduras, has convictions for smuggling aliens into the U.S.
He was arrested recently by ICE in Phoenix. His first deportation order dates back to January 2006, a 19-year lapse in action.

Among the other criminals that surfaced in this week's federal data were Guatemalan national Alexis Aquirre-Velasquez, 37, who was ordered out of the U.S. 12 years ago.
He was charged with four counts of indecent liberty with a child and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Recently, White House officials revealed to DailyMail.com that north of 6,000 migrants were deported in Trump's first two weeks.
Migrants have also been airlifted to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as well—a location that is expected to hold approximately 30,000 aliens as ICE facilities reach their limits.
