In April, illegal crossings at the US-Mexico border remained near historic lows with fewer than 10,000 encounters, reflecting a significant 93% decline from the same month last year. The Trump administration's immigration policies, including the end of the 'catch and release' practice, have contributed to this decrease. Additionally, enforcement efforts by ICE have intensified, with more than 66,000 arrests in Trump's first 100 days. Analysts note that current monthly figures are lower than some daily totals from the Biden era, highlighting a drastic shift in migrant flows.

"Manny Bayon stated he's 'never seen' numbers this low in his over 25 years of Border Patrol service, indicating the effectiveness of the recent policies."
