Trump praised the decline in unlawful border crossings in a Truth Social post, noting that February's apprehensions are the lowest since FY 2000. The drop aligns with changes in border policy by both the Trump and Biden administrations, highlighting the impact of new restrictions and Mexican enforcement on illegal crossings. The recent decline follows a spike in late 2023 but indicates a decreasing trend into 2024, attributed to collaborative enforcement efforts from both the U.S. and Mexico.
"The Trump administration's long-promised crackdown started on day one of his term, sending shockwaves throughout the immigration system."
"Illegal border crossings spiked at the end of 2023 but started to slope downward in 2024 after the Biden administration implemented new restrictions."
