Deep dives
Historic Immigration Policy Changes
The second Trump administration has initiated significant changes to U.S. immigration policy, reversing many Biden-era practices. Key actions include reinstating the Remain in Mexico policy, halting the use of the CBP1 app that facilitated migrant entry, and implementing strict enforcement measures that have significantly reduced illegal border crossings. In March, Border Patrol encounters dropped to historic lows, with numbers not seen since 1960, attributing this to enforcement actions taken immediately following Trump's inauguration. The focus on an operationally secure border marks a stark shift from prior policies, emphasizing law enforcement rather than humanitarian approaches.
