The article analyzes immigration data from the early days of President Trump's administration, showing a 6.5% decrease in immigrant removals from the U.S. compared to the end of President Biden's tenure. Trump's administration celebrates a reduction in illegal border crossings, claiming it as a success. However, the government's push to deport millions faces obstacles from legal processes and resource limitations, particularly for immigrants arrested within the U.S., who are entitled to court hearings amidst a backlog.
"The large drop in illegal border crossings since Trump took office has significantly reduced the number of people U.S. agents are catching at the border and designating for quick removal."
"Immigrants arrested well within the nation's interior are entitled to a court hearing in a system that's backlogged for months, posing challenges to the administration's plans."
