Deportations and Arrests Plummet To Lowest Level In Years

The U.S. southern border saw a dramatic decrease in February.

The number of migrants illegally crossing the U.S. southern border saw a dramatic decrease in February, hitting the lowest levels in decades, according to Border Patrol data.

In total, around 8,300 individuals were apprehended after crossing the border unlawfully between ports of entry last month, marking a significant decline in illegal crossings.

Deportations have also dropped.

Currently, Trump is deporting 400-600 people per day.

By comparison, during the Biden administration, an average of 310 deportations occurred daily, while under the Obama administration, the daily average was about 1,000 deportations.

The February numbers reflect a notable shift in border enforcement trends, with fewer migrants attempting to cross into the U.S. unlawfully.
