On Mexico's Once-Packed Border, Few Migrants Remain
Briefly

On the eve of President Trump's tariff deadline for Mexico, migrant numbers have drastically decreased along the border, with empty shelters in Ciudad Juarez, Tijuana, and Matamoros. Areas once filled with individuals seeking asylum now show only remnants of their presence, such as abandoned belongings. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported a historical low in apprehensions, attributed to Trump's strict immigration measures. Additionally, plans to deploy more combat forces to the border further exemplify the administration's aggressive stance on illegal immigration.
"Nobody can cross. Last week, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security secretary announced that Customs and Border Protection had apprehended only 200 people at the southern border the lowest single-day number in over 15 years."
"Mr. Trump has credited his crackdown on illegal immigration for the plunging numbers, even as he has also announced he will send thousands more combat forces to the border to stop what he calls an invasion."
