As Donald Trump was sworn as president, arrests of immigrants illegally crossing the border from Mexico along the US southwest border in January fell nearly 38%. President Trump took the oath on January 20th.
According to a February Southwest Land Border Encounter Report from US Customs and Border Patrol, during the last month (December) of President Joe Biden's inauguration, Border Patrol agents have reached more than 47,000 immigrants. I came across it. In January, the number of immigrant encounters fell to 29,116, representing a decline of over 38%.
In President Biden's first month in January 2021, agents arrested more than 75,000 immigrants. That number has increased dramatically since that point, peaking at nearly 250,000 anxiety in December 2023.
San Diego's sector has continued to be the busiest of nine southwestern border sectors where fewer than 6,400 immigrants have been arrested, down more than 74% from a year ago.
The Rio Grande Valley sector in Texas moved to second place with concerns from nearly 6,000 immigrants. This is down from over 7,300 a year ago.
The El Paso, Tucson and Del Rio sectors concluded the top five sectors with 4,871, 4,727 and 3,467 immigrant encounters, respectively. The Tucson sector recorded the most significant decline in migrant encounters in January, as it fell nearly 91% from last year's 50,560 encounters.
A report published in X, during Lt. Col. Chris Olivares, spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety, shows that border encounters averaged around 328 per day in February. If this number continues until the end of the month, immigrant encounters in February could be 9,200.
This is a record record for CBP reports dating back to the last year of the Clinton administration (2000). The previous low occurred in the third month (April 2017) for President Trump, when agents encountered 11,127 immigrants.
