Illegal border crossing at the southern border of the United States “plummeted” in January, falling precipitously as President Donald Trump returned to office in what the White House is calling “the Trump Effect.”
Apprehensions of illegal border crossings into the United States dropped 36 percent last month, falling to 61,465, new data from Customs and Border Patrol indicates. The figure, which includes 29,116 apprehensions on the border and another 32,349 at ports of entry, is the lowest since May 2020, when the COVID response virtually shut down the southern border as new restrictions had been implemented.
