What happened

U.S. Customs and Border Protection published its Southwest Border Security Press Conference, at which White House Border Czar Tom Homan and CBP Commissioner Rodney S. Scott informed local, national, and international media about increased security on the southwest border and provided fiscal year 2025 border security enforcement statistics, according to the agency’s description of its official upload, embedded above. The briefing is the CBP’s own full posting of the event — the agency-channel record of the year-end border numbers as the Commissioner and the Border Czar presented them.

Why it matters

Scott’s CBP owns the enforcement statistics this briefing reported: the fiscal year 2025 figures he and Homan presented here are the administration’s baseline border claims, and the later oversight and budget hearings paged on this site test those numbers under congressional questioning.

Scoreboard watch

This is a candidate item for the weekly scoreboard: the fiscal year 2025 border security enforcement statistics as presented by Commissioner Scott and Border Czar Homan at the December 2025 CBP press conference, to be checked against the published CBP data.
